That should be fixed now. When I switched member submissions and revisions to using Format, I neglected to modify database-funcs.php to recognize Format as a column in the MemberSubmissions and Revisions tables. I have now corrected this omission. So, what was going on was a database security precaution that hadn't been updated with new information about changes to the database.

Well, it is NOT. In this article the last paragraph of the Introduction and Rules sections disappeared when I saved it after editing the Setup section. Fortunately the edit form with the original text could still be recalled through the browser back button, and I have appended </p> tags to those sections now, and saved again, to repair the damage.

Only heaven knows how much damage was done to the few dozen articles that I have been editing this way, the past two weeks. I only tested my edits by ascertaining the setup section displayed properly with JavaScript on and off; I never payed any attention to other sections. I only noticed it in the Centaur Chess article because there was so little text there that the entire article except my modification disappeared, section headers and all.

Of course older articles that are not stored in the database, which I edited through WinSCP would not have suffered any damage. But I estimate that this was only about half of my edits.
