Group Description Not Updating/Saved

larsonbennett
When I tried to change a Description of a current group and Save Settings, the new Description text was not saved.

Also, when adding a new group, the same problem occurred--the group Description field would not save.

    Thanks for reporting this. It looks like it was a problem with the tinyMCE used for the description. It should be working now.

    I seem to be having this same problem July 18, 2011. It works, then it doesn't.
    When it doesn't work it goes to this URL: http://www.zotero.org/groups/49775/settings but the page is blank and no update happens. I tried logging out and logging in.
    It seems random whether the group Description changes stick.

    Same here. Group description keeps coming up empty after entering and saving it multiple times.

    Sorry about that. Should be working again.

    Got to say that I'm having the same problem. You keep on saying it's fixed. But it's not!

    Oh, and one symptom is that after trying to save the page returns blank page / tabula raza.

    I said it was fixed twice two years apart because they were unrelated issues that manifested the same way. I can't duplicate your problem now. Is it still happening, and if so how long does it take for the blank page after you submit?

    It's still happening. On Chrome 14 & Firefox 7. When cute & paste the content from a Zotero Note (in FF) into the description field. That seems to create the problem.

    But when I cute & paste it into Notepad first and from there into the description field it's not a problem. It saves fine. Must be something in the HTML code in the Zotero Note that gets stripped in Notepad that causes the symptom. Just means that I had to reformat the content afterwards.

    No worries!
