Zotero won't save citation although it says that is saving
After I have found an article in pubmed I try to save it, zotero says "saving citation in my library" but the citation does not appear in my library

However, saved citations from AMAZON are shown in my library.
Submitted debug log, with the Debug ID - D1916826270.
Relevant error seems to be:
[JavaScript Error: "XML or text declaration not at start of entity" {file: "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20118365" line: 1 column: 19 source: "<PubmedArticleSet><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>"}]
Amazon works but pubmed not.
Hopefully anybody of the zotero team is already working on a solution....
A modified import filter will be required for Pubmed.
Pubmed's API (i.e. the server from which Zotero gets the XML it imports) has had temporary outages over the last half year or so. There is absolutely nothing we can do about that and in most cases this just starts working again after a couple of hourse or so. Since the pubget translator mainly looks up PMIDs on pubmed it is equally affected.
As a workaround, you can use "Send to" ---> File ---> XML, save that file and import it with Zotero. That option typically still works.
Ideally Zotero should throw an error when that happens, though, I thought we had that covered now.
