checkmark color on series page, incorrectly shows green

In series pages, works that are *NOT* included in "My Library" are showing with green checkmarks, when they should show as gray. This does not seem to affect the author pages.

Examples based on my own account:
Smokey & The Bandit Movies. Everything is showing in green, when all of my movies and TV series are included only in the collection Movies/TV. The member Lorax noted that it was the same for her/him? so it was not an issue with the "/" in the collection name.

Foundation Expanded Universe The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, all three Empire Novels, Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation should all be in gray. They are only in omnibus parts or Favorite Series as well. The checkmarks all look correct on the author page: Isaac Asimov.

Blue checkmarks and pink checkmarks seem to be working correctly:
Examples based on my own account:
Adventures of Penrose, Puzzles from Penrose the Mathematical Cat shows correctly in pink or purple.

Logan Family, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry shows correctly in blue.

AnnieMod and Lorax both seem to agree that they see this behavior as well.

Possibly unrelated:
On the series page under charts and graphs, the gray checkmarks seem to be showing on the appropriate works, (thought the symbol seems to be just a gray dot, with no checkmark inside it.

Thanks for the report! @conceptDawg is out this week, but I'll ping him about this when he returns. Unless someone else can get to it sooner. Thanks for your patience in the meantime!

For developers to reproduce:
1. Log into my account (kristilabrie) on www
2. See https://www.librarything.com/work/514260/book/163596286 (I Love You, Stinky Face) is not in "Your library" in Collections
3. Go to the Series page where that book exists: https://www.librarything.com/nseries/19531/Stinky-Face

Bug: Next to the book in question, there's a green checkmark indicating the book is in "Your library"

To fix: Follow checkmark color rules at https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Checkmarks (ignore the outdated checkmark images):

Wishlist - displays purple checkmark
Read but Unowned - displays blue checkmark
Your Library - displays green checkmark
any other collection - displays gray checkmark

I know this bug is probably pretty low priority, but I wondered if there was any estimate on when it might be fixed. (??)

I'm afraid I can't give you an estimate this week, but I can tell you that it will not likely happen this week or next, as our developers are tied up on other deadlines. I'm sorry for the wait.
