Hola I hope this helps some newer HOs & maybe sitters too… 2 issues and 2 tips that might be helpful:
I was updating my listing on my laptop and decided to add one emoji (mac laptop, Chrome, Edit>Emoji & Symbols) and save. All the text after the emoji disappeared and there was no getting it back…
(Tip: I now save all my TH listing verbiage on a word doc that I update whenever I update my listing. Highly recommend having that backup as typing everything out is time-consuming… I’m verbose and detail-oriented so I put a lot of thought/time into it)
Not wanting to rewrite everything from (my horrible) memory, I contacted past (lovely) sitters and asked if any had screenshots or pdfs of the listing so I could retype. They’re all super sweet & replied quickly but none had saved anything…
Which surprised me because I think a predatory or dishonest HO (we all hope there are very few, but still, this is planet Earth) could change verbiage on you to make it seem like you were in the wrong if there’s ever some sort of dispute.
Seems there are no cached versions or failsafes other than you saving a copy of the listing for your records? I would advise sitters to do this unless for some reason it’s against the rules… but I couldn’t find anything in the TH “code of conduct” & I don’t think it should be against the rules to save for your private records, obviously not to post publicly or anything like that.
Cheers, happy Monday all…
