But at least the WP folks are aware of the Timestamp/URL issue I have been troubleshooting with iPhone App 3.9

… You can help!
Read the previous post or the previous several posts. Every time I update a post, the timestamp gets reset to an earlier time. Update enough and it gets reset to an earlier day – this changes the URL and breaks retrospective links.
Would you please repeat my steps, just update a post several times (add space, add a word, delete a word) and note the time stamp. If it changes, reply to this post.
Am I the only one having this problem?

After documenting to my own satisfaction … and hopefully to your satisfaction … I need scotch. Smoky not chill filtered, no coloring added, single malt scotch.
Being unable to go back and edit my previous posts puts the kibosh on my ability to tidy up and standardize various grammatical aspects.
I am sad 😦
Mmmmm scotch

… Troubleshooting Part Two
UPDATE – I just edited this and now the posting order is out of date! This post actually follows https://contrafactual.com/2014/02/02/ongoing-wp-problems/
I also just edited Timeline and now it is timestamped yet another day earlier with a URL of https://contrafactual.com/2014/01/31/timeline/
In my previous two posts in noticed that when I updated Timeline, the creation time and URL changed. If the URL changes every time I update it screws up all of my links!
So I took a look at the activity logs.
Really geeky debug stuff follows

In 42 days of Pain and WordPress iPhone App FAIL I describe the problem I am having with the latest WordPress iPhone App by Automattic (Version 3.9, January 30, 2014)
Step 1
I go to Contrafactual and choose Menu > Topics and chose Day 46
This is the URL
https://contrafactual.com/2013/10/08/day-46/
Next I use the iPhone App to edit and publish Day 46
I click on Menu > Topics and chose Day 46
No problem ???
So let me go thru all of Menu > Topics and see what links are broken
Broken links: Day 42, Day 51, Day 52, Day 53
All posts I edited on Friday January 31
Below are the URLs for the above posts
Original https://contrafactual.com/2013/07/11/hzv-day-42/
Current https://contrafactual.com/2013/07/10/hzv-day-42/
Original https://contrafactual.com/2013/12/10/day-51/
Current https://contrafactual.com/2013/12/09/day-51/
Original https://contrafactual.com/2013/12/17/day-52/
Current https://contrafactual.com/2014/01/26/day-52-2
Original https://contrafactual.com/2014/01/29/day-53/
Current https://contrafactual.com/2014/01/27/day-53/
So, yesterday updates posted to a different URL, but today there are no apparent problems. ?????
Cue Rod Serling …

In my previous post, I described the problem I having with the latest Version 3.9, January 30, 2014 release of the WordPress iPhone App.
When I go back to update older posts (in this case edits to the Day 42 / The Nudist War serialized novel), the update gets written to a new URL:
https://contrafactual.com/2013/07/11/hzv-day-42/ vs
https://contrafactual.com/2013/07/10/hzv-day-42/
This means that ALL of my links are now invalid. If you try to read the series you will get
Really annoying 😦
I am sure that Automattic will fix this, but it could be a while.
I have submitted a public question about this at:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/iphone-app-39-saves-updates-to-a-different-url?replies=1
I don’t know if this is an iPhone-specific problem or more widespread, but if you edit an older post and the URL changes you now know why.
