Invisible review?

I posted a book review this morning for Encounters: Experiences with Nonhuman Intelligences. My review is visible to me on the Work page and in my own Reviews page. But when my Other Reader tries to see it (she is not logged in to LT), the review is invisible. She can see the book itself on my profile page, but no review appears for her on either my Reviews page or the book's Work page. When she looks at my individual book page, it shows no review.

Do you see my review? Here:

Oh, good. So perhaps it's only invisible to those not logged in?

I have confirmed that my book record is not "private" and never has been.

I just tried to view it with a browser where I wasn't logged in. And it looks fine. Can't figure out why my Other Reader can't see it on her Chromebook.

I can also see it just fine when I am on a clean not-logged browser.

Maybe there is a caching issue on the browser/network on your other reader? Or LT has a a server out of sync that they happen to be hitting - if that is the case, LT will sync in a few minutes (hours in case it is a big trouble).

Ah, she can see it now. Some sort of odd caching, I guess.

One of our databases was behind, so I'm guessing this was why. It's caught up now. Closing, but let us know if it crops up again.
