Edits to Collections not sticking

Trying to add or remove a book from collections (e.g. adding to "Read but Unowned" and remove from "Currently Reading") and while I can save the changes, it doesn't actually stick. As soon as the collections pop up closes, it reverts back to whichever collection(s) it originally had. Have tried making this change both from the book page and from the collections page.

I'm having the same issue.

I can't add any new books properly because no collection is being saved, so the book does not appear in My Books.

I just added several new books, but they are not showing up in "your books".

Ditto. Collection edits don't take. And when I return to the book records I thought I was adding for the past hour, they have all vanished.

@conceptdawg is working on it.

Fixed. But it will take a few minutes for it to reach the live servers.

Thanks, I had the same issue not being able to add Currently Reading collection, but it has just worked now.

Not sure if related to the bugs already mentioned here, but currently the edit collections dialogue seems to not work properly. Dragging items on the list is not possible, inactive items still show up in the "All collections" drop down (they disappear after a page refresh), and the Reorder button throws an "Uncaught TypeError: collections.reorder is not a function" when clicked ૮(◞ ‸ ◟ )ა

>14 doncarreras:
Yours sounds like the same bug as this other topic: https://www.librarything.com/topic/368601
particularly post #25 mentions the same sort of error text.

>14 doncarreras: they are still working on it. And because of it, they built you a work around
https://www.librarything.com/settings/collections

until the Your Book section is redone for LT 2.0

Adding and removing from collections should be working in all cases now.

And I'm working on getting the collections editor working on the add-books page again. It's a complicated issue with old-vs-new code not being compatible, but I'll get it worked out.
