Touchstones won't load

This may seem like an old and common bug, but I've never actually had this problem before. Normally when a touchstone won't load, adding a space after the title will make it load (and then if it happens again later, another space, and so on).

Now, when I try to edit the first post in this thread, I can't get any of the touchstones to load at all.

If anyone knows any new workarounds, like the space-adding, that would be much appreciated. An actual fix for the whole system that hasn't worked properly for years would be even better.

It seems like it's much worse than I thought--I can't get any touchstones to load anywhere, even in brand-new messages where I'm only trying to include a few.

I used A Sea of Words in a post just recently and it did work, let's see what happens here. (09:44)

(09:49) No, nothing.

The general search function seems to be broken for the last half hour; that's probably the problem with touchstones.

I'm having a similar problem -- certain touchstones load, but not others...

Some of my messages they loaded, some they didn't. Since I was adding the same book to lists in two different challenges, right after each other, I don't see any patterm. The one that loaded was the longest list.

I'm seeing an issue with a single touchstone -- for Wolf Hall, which seems to work because it shows in the right hand column, and links to the book, but doesn't register in the post itself.

>7 laytonwoman3rd: There's another thread here about that particular issue from a few months ago (though of course, no developer response).
