Renamig a group does not work
When logged in tp zotero.org, I created a group with a certain name and an associated group library. Soon thereafter it showed up in my zotero pane "Group Libraries" as it should. Then I renamed the group when logged in to zotero.org and everything went fine there. However, in the zotero pane, the old name still remains even after 3-4 days... Seems like a bug. How can I fix it?

name of the group and its associated library...
During the futile attempts for week by to get this functionality from zotero I decided to create an account called "galileo" to try for myself to sync from my own account "bothide" to "galileo". Needless to say, I failed.
So here we are, a group of authors of a book who all need access to the very same zotero database not being able to do so. I would have thought that this sharing of a database between authors would be one of the prime uses of zotero but apparently I was wrong. As mentioned above, the only two ways to achieve this seem to be to use the cumbersome, error-prone and tedious process of hand-copying hundreds, perhaps thousands, of items by hand from my database to a group library, or to dole out my co-authors my login credentials.
Note that the group library process does not work since zotero fails to change the group name.
"During the futile attempts for week by to get this functionality..."
should have been
"During the futile attempts for weeks by my co-authirs to get this functionality..."
As for the several accounts - what matters is that we need to know that we're talking to the same person and not someone else with a similar issue - thus it's helpful to either use the same account or identify yourself as the same person (which you've now done).
