Problems experienced with new beta library
Hello,
I apologize if this has been addressed else where but I currently have 3 issues.
1. I have used Zoteros online web library system for years on a MacBook and with the new web library I am unable to actually input any information for my sources. I like to add things manually, when I try to add a new source it will not let me add any information. I can the see info box, I can select show empty fields but I can’t input the data. When I click an empty field I want to fill, it takes me back to the info box with the empty fields hidden. I have tried on both Chrome and Safari. Neither browser will let me add information.
2. I am trying to teach my students how to use the web library, and can’t figure out how to switch from the new library to the old on a PC, it’s not in the same place as in the Mac even when using the same browser.
3. The link to create a new discussion in the forums does not seem to work for the desktop Mac version of the site. When I click ‘new discussion’ it takes me to the Zotero homepage. I had to access the forum from my phone I order to submit this.
Thank you

When in that view, you can temporarily switch back to the old library by clicking on the menu in the top-right corner and selecting Use Old Web Library. But if possible, you should try simply increasing the width of your browser window to get the normal view in the new library. You can also decrease the zoom by a level (Cmd+-) to get the normal view. (Just remember to reset it back to normal size (Cmd+0) once this is fixed.)
