Work space deleted my work!!!

I've been saving my work through out every video. Work space lost signal so I had to reload work space. Once it reloaded all of my work was gone. Any way to get it back and anything I can do to protect myself from that happening again?

Just read in another thread this response to the same issue a couple hours ago:

"Sorry about that! It looks like there was just a problem loading up the files. We took a look, and reverted one of our changes, so you should be able to access your workspace now."

I'm guessing(and hoping), it's the same/similar error and they'll be back online soon with no deleted work. :)

Edit: I should probably mention I'm working on the Python courses, so this issue seems to be site-wide.

It's like a live example of what NOT to do when commiting and deploying changes to a site...

Very educational if you think about it.

Mine are all gone too. The exact same thing happened to me at the exact same time as you(about seven minutes ago). Every work space I have is empty. I'm hoping it's a temporary glitch.

Thanks for the reply. I hope that's all it is as well. We should be able to save the work to our own computer.

Me too. This JUST happened.

I tried accessing workspaces from chrome, firefox and firefox developer's edition.

I also tried accessing it on the same broswers from Mac and from Ubuntu 14.

I get a blank workspace without a directory structure, just the name of the top level folder.

I tried interacting with the workspace from the console at the bottom using ls, cd, etc and it's all blank. I did manage to create a new file using touch and edit it using edit. That file appeared when I refreshed the workspace.

However! The previews for the workspaces were still working fine last time I checked

This has also just happened to me. All my workspace files are blank. Hope the guys at teamtreehouse can sort this one out quickly.
