# "Forms" not working – cannot "insert into post"

 * My Jetpack Forms no longer work. They were working two days ago, and I even managed
   to update one form in the last hour, but as soon as I finished updating that 
   one (having changed nothing else about my site) the forms stopped working.
 * I can click “insert” and create the form, but when I click “Save and insert form
   into post” nothing happens. Literally. Until I either close the window or refresh
   the tab, losing my work.
 * Because of this I have lost 2 really important contact forms on my site and can’t
   replace them :/
 * Thanks!

 * It seems you’re experiencing [other problems](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-logs-me-out-anytime-i-switch-windowstabs?replies=9)
   on your WordPress installation at the moment. This is most likely what’s causing
   the issue for the Jetpack Contact Form builder as well.
 * Luckily, there are other ways to get your contact forms back until that main 
   issue is fixed.
    WordPress automatically saves your post regularly while you 
   are writing. You can consequently access previously saved versions of your posts
   and pages by clicking on the Revisions link appearing right above the “Update”
   button on the right of the editor.
 * For detailed instructions and more information about post revisions, you can 
   visit:
    [http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/)
 * Once you find an earlier revision that still included the contact form, you can
   simply restore that revision, or copy the contact form shortcode and paste it
   back into your post editor.
 * Let me know if this helps.
