Upgrade StorageTwo new issues with adding items from uspostalbulletins.com
As recently as 5-Feb-24 I was adding items successfully from the site uspostalbulletins.com. Today I updated my Zotero to 6.0.32, also updated Chrome to current, and I instructed Chrome to find updates for extensions, but I don't know if any were updated.
Now when I try to add items from uspostalbulletins.com I have encountered two different but both unsatisfactory behaviors:
1. At least one page on uspostalbulletins.com does not appear to get added at all. The specific URL I try to add is: http://www.uspostalbulletins.com/PDF/Vol4_Issue943_18830411.pdf#search="route"
Debug ID is D623157742
2. With a different page, specific URL: http://www.uspostalbulletins.com/PDF/Vol4_Issue1007_18830626.pdf#search="route"
I was able to get an item added, but it was a "child" generic web page item. On 5-Feb-24 I was able to get several items added as "parent" web pages with child pages for the PDF content, but today, it appears that I am not getting items added as parent items, although they do appear to have an attachment. I don't have a citation key for the item added today, it appears to me that the "child" generic web page item has no citation key, while the item added on 5-Feb-24 does have a citation key.
I realize that I am trying to add different pages today than the pages I added on 5-Feb-24 so perhaps the issue is the content of the pages and the discernable metadata, or the site uspostalbulletins.com may be presenting content differently now than it did earlier in the month. But since I know that I updated Zotero today I am thinking it most likely that the update to Zotero has something to do with what seems to be different behavior.

Presumably the postal bulletins I was researching on 5-Feb-24 had metadata that allowed Zotero to classify them as "parent" web pages.
I find it reasonably easy to "promote" a "child" web page, by right-clicking and choosing "create parent item", then "manual entry".
So probably this is not a new issue, just a difference in content.
Of course I would be delighted if Zotero did a more perfect job capturing the content from this postal bulleting web site!
But I am still very appreciative of all that Zotero does for me.
