Hi C126, Don't worry, it has been happening to all of us bloggers to an extent. 

One tip if you want to get things back in some sort of date order. When you edit a blog there is a bit down the bottom that gives a publish date , or a publish now box which is ticked by default. Click on the publish date box and a wee calendar pops up. This lets you backdate the blog so they all appear in correct historical order. 

Thanks @Dave John for your kind comments.  I had not noticed it in others; posts, so thought it was just me and my usual ineptitude.  Why my post no. 45 is way down the list I have no idea.  I will try and get them back-dated a.s.a.p.  Many thanks again.

... I hope the old method of retaining the original date will be restored.  I now check the original date before I start replacing lost images.

It only occurred to me last night that, as you describe, I have now lost all the original dates of postings.  Sometimes one can only despair of I.T.  A 'Railway Hermitage' looks ever more attractive...

Thnaks again for everyone's kind words and responses, and best wishes to you all.

I also fell foul of the great train photo robbery on here - so thanks for putting the effort in. I haven't done all of mine as I did a lot on railmaster and I have now moved onto iTrain but you have inspired me to get back into it

Thanks, @deepfat , for your kind words.  I realised a couple of weeks ago my albums are now incomplete as well - the very reason I joined RMWeb to 'preserve the information for eternity' - so was feeling rather down about it all.  Hope to start replacing these next weekend.  Thanks for intending to do yours.  I am sure it will not just be me appreciating your efforts.

@mikeOxon I help run the web as I work on Azure for Microsoft in the UK we haven't lost data per se but user error is problem whether you are software engineer or a consumer.  So I still keep my stuff on a qnap server and my blog posts are in OneNote.
