Can't Add Source to Taxa

Several days ago I created Mactrotoma nasuta but for some reason I couldn’t add a source. The first 50 or so alphabetically popped up as usual, but if I type in “MolluscaBase” the loading wheel just keeps turning. I thought this might have been a temporary network issue but it’s still happening 5 days later. If I try editing the source on other taxa and I get the same problem. I usually use Chrome, but there’s still the issue on Firefox and Safari. I’ve restarted my computer—doesn’t help. I’m guessing this is just an issue for me. Have I changed some setting somewhere?

Ah interesting. Seems related. I saw some of those posts a few days ago and didn’t think it was the same thing, but some of the more recent stuff sounds more like what I have. Should I add this to that thread?

As for the screenshot you provided, it looks like there’s only one MolluscaBase, whereas there used to be more (unnecessarily I think)—just like others were reporting.

Also I see you changed my topic tag. I tried to add both Curator and Bug Reports but couldn’t figure out a way. Is there a reason that doesn’t work or should I submit a feature request?

Topics can only be in one category. I think it’s fine to leave this here in Bug Reports since it’s something not working as expected.

Appears fixed. The github issue was closed and I see stuff properly there now
