Can't add to library (1334224201 if that helps)

aostriker
I am adding journal article citations to zotero from pubmed. I have always been able to add citations from the abstract in pubmed. Now zotero does not seem to be able to get the citations from pubmed. The "saving item..." box comes up but is blank and then nothing shows up in my library. I used zotero to navigate to an article that I'd added from pubmed in the past and I can add a copy of the citation... but if I manually search for the SAME article by title I can get to the same abstract page but I can no longer add the citation.
Help.

    Forgot to mention... This started yesterday before the 3.6.4 update to Firefox. Uninstalled and reinstalled zotero yesterday, didn't help. Uninstalled and reinstalled today, didn't help.

    Same exact problem here... its driving me insane. I've tried from two separate computers without luck. Anyone know what's going on?

    Can you provide a link to the articles that aren't saving? PubMed is working fine for me.

    I found the answer on another discussion thread. It seems the problem was with the Pubmed translator. I downloaded a new one and replaced the old NCBI Pubmed translator file and now everything works perfectly!

    http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/12127/trouble-with-ncbi-pubmed-translator/ -- this is the discussion thread where I found a link to the replacement translator.

    Simon: I could give you a long list... but here's an example

    I added this one to my library with no trouble last week, but cannot add it now.

    Thanks paul.q.reynolds! I had the 20 year old I work with explain how to put that file where it needed to go, and now I seem to be able to get pubmed references again. Have tried 3 that didn't work before, now work. Why is the translator not auto-updating?

    As far as I can tell, there's something wrong with the repository at the moment. Dan, who maintains the server-side parts of Zotero, is currently taking a much needed vacation, but I'll make sure he takes a look at this when gets back in a few days.
