There's been a case recently that made me realize this needs a shoutout!
Many of you are using more than one app to post on Steemit, which is fine.
The problem starts when you want to edit your post! Many people post from one app and edit that post using another app.
In this case, the second app overwrites the data and saves the latest version.
This is relevant in case you are hoping for an upvote from an app.
Example: if you post an app from esteem and edit it in Steemit, Steemit is going to overwrite the date and your post will appear as written in Steemit, no matter if the first version of the post was published using esteem. This goes pretty much for any app.
So if you need to edit your post, make sure you use the same app.
I would really appreciate if you could spread the word so this mistake can be avoided.
Check out my #SevenDaysOutside Challenge!
These are the days and the categories:
#WindowMonday – Windows
#DoorTuesday – Doors
#RustArtWednesday – Rust
#GateThursday – Gates
#StatueFriday – Statues
#BrickSaturday – Bricks (bricks only, no pavement elements or cobblestones please)
#StreetlampSunday – Street Lamps
Make sure you write a description of the photo you are posting. Share as much details as you can, like where that statue is placed (in a park, at a museum), what it represents etc. Make it enjoyable.
Use the #sevendaysoutside tag along with the daily tag and tag me, @erikah!
Goes without saying that you can only use your own photos. No paintings, no drawings, no digital art please! There is no prize here, this is just for fun.

Thank you very much this was helpful. I use a few steem apps so this is nice to know.
That is something I wouldn't have thought of! Thanks for making us aware of that.
I know many people don't know this and can cause problems. You're welcome.
It is a good thing to know. Have a great day.... I'm off to bed!
Thank you and good night! See you tomorrow!
Thanks for using eSteem!

This is very useful. Thank you for sharing. Resteemed for more visibility. 🙂
it is lots of fun @erikah, let me resteem it and would love if more friend will joint this
Hm, ez egy hasznos infó. Én nem használok appokat, de az tény, hogy kisebbségben vagyok a régimódi dolgaimmal :D
Thank you for sharing with us, this has made us aware of that. Have a nice day :)
Wow, that's kind of a big deal, and I didn't know about it. I do this often, in fact with almost every single post. I did it again this morning. Here's why...
Basically, I can't spell, and Esteem has no spell checker! I make my post in esteem, then reopen it immediately on Steemit, click edit, and have a spelling and grammar checker go over what I've written. Often, the spelling check finds a problem so I correct it and update the post.
I've resteemed this so other people will learn out the issue. I wondered why I sometimes miss the esteem vote - as appears may have happened this morning. I hope esteem comes out with a spell checker or a browser-based interface.
Does @esteem vote everytime? My husband has been posting from esteem for over 3 weeks now and have been upvoted 3 times only. 😔
REGARDING PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT NOT BEING UPVOTED
Here are factors to be considered;
More than 8000 users post through eSteem app, and around 1800-2000 posts get Upvotes daily and we plan to double that number soon, from this I believe you can see Upvotes are not guaranteed for anyone.
======>
You are likely being ignored by our filters... try to gain some reputation 30+ and followers, we will lower filters more once we have better voting mechanism to handle 8000-10000 user posts.
======>
Some abusers or multi account users if reported by steemcleaners are added to ignore list
======>
We change filters from time to time to ensure everyone gets Upvotes.
We also try our every best to reward everyone.
Thanks for using eSteem! Steem on!
@livinguktaiwan, this is a pinned message from esteem Discord channel. I hope it helps you understand.
Thanks @erikah. That's roughly 1 in 4 chance, and for my husband's account it currently works out 1 in 7. His rep is nearly 60, and has won quite a few photo contest, so his definitely isn't a spam account. Sadly it seems like his account doesn't fall in the norm ....
There's an esteem channel on Discord called curator-call. If your husband feels he's being neglected, he can state his case there before reading the pinned message.
Thank you Keith for the reblog!
If you're using the desktop version, which I suppose you do, you can check your text by simply pasting the text in a Yahoo mail body. Then paste is back into esteem and post it.
Editing in another app can cause you using the upvote.
Thanks, now that I know about this, it's no problem to find a workaround. Hey look, my vote just came through! I reopened my post with esteem and made another edit. I can always find stuff to change! I would be doing everything in esteem except for this spell check issue.
That's great Keith!
I don't think I've edited in a different app from the one I posted through ..... yet, but I'm glad you gave a heads up to make sure I don't.
Reblogging
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
Thanks so much for sharing this information @erikah I had noticed a decline and wondered what I was doing wrong. I often pick up my ipad at night and catch up on comments etc whilst watching........or more correctly, listening to TV. I prefer to use my PC because it is easier on my eyes. They tend to miss a lot on smaller versions.
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks again for the helpful tip. (U & R )

This is a pinned message from esteem Discord channel. I hope it helps you too to understand how these things work.
Thank you for your support Trudee, have a nice weekend.
Hi Erika,
It looks like you may have misunderstood me as I am familiar with all those factors you've provided me with me as you sent them to me before signing up with esteem. I simply meant that, like @keithboone, I had noticed a slight downturn in the amount I had been previously been getting and now that I know that using other devices makes that difference, I will use my PC for commenting etc. I'm loving the esteem app and they have been very supportive........so no complaints there.
And resteeming your post will make other people aware too. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Dear Trudee, it's not the device that counts but the app!! You can make a post on your laptop and then edit on your phone or tablet or any device you want to use, that's fine as long as you use esteem both times. Esteem surfer or esteem mobile, it counts as one.
You can check your post URL and you'll see that there a long line of number and three letters. If you're using esteem, your letters will be est.
I don't edit on my ipad and my phone is too small for me to keep up to date with social media stuff Erika. But I was commenting quite a bit from my ipad but using steemit app. That was making the difference, so I did appreciate the information you shared with us. Its all a learning process isn't it? .
Trudee, can't you download esteem on your iPad? I'm not familiar with iPads.
If you're commenting a lot, you should benefit from it.
Oh yes.....I have downloaded the esteem app on my ipad but I don't find it very user friendly but that is only because I got used to the steemit one Erika. I also prefer the bigger screen of my PC to do my editing on. My eyes become strained on smaller screens.
