well the group thing has issues about interface consistency and behavior. There's a tendency for operations to default to the individual library, which is present whether one wants it or not. If the group library is highlighted it can be the target…

Well thanks for your help. I don't feel too optimistic about this being the only type of search for the group bibliography since it is creating more and more copies of the items. And that would tie searching to the ability to change things in the gr…

thanks. So is this "new saved search" supposed to create a new sub directory called "untitled", "untitled 2" etc? Somehow I'm getting that effect.
-
Oh sorry my bad wording. Yes it is a group library. So that explains it then that I had a bunch of items in my library so it looked like it works. I think it would be great to somehow convey to the user that fact. Then the question wo…

Ok got the user to demo the issue. On my computer in zotero client if I search for date is before 2005 I get 10 entries. When the user does it they get nothing. No window pops up even.

That is amazing that the date format is so flexible! I see someone put a date of "ages ago" in there and it's not causing a problem. What would possibly help would be to be able to add the date field to the search output, making it less likely for t…

Thanks knowing how the date is stored is very helpful in learning how to use the feature. Probably the confusion with date searching is what goes in the search box. The operator choices are "is, is not, is before, is after, is in the last" and t…

What was confusing me was I thought in order to invite people they already had to be members of zotero. But I see they don't. Never mind. thanks.

Hmmm. In my experience it looks like zotero can save to a group library if you have it selected in the native client (and you are lucky :-) . But other people keep saying it can't. We need to formulate an experiment to resolve this once and for all.…

I advise that server issues(description, start, end) be recorded on some sort of outages or problem page so that users might attempt to decide if a system problem causes their issue or if it's a different type of problem.
-
Well that's the part I don't get. Suppose there is a person personid who has a zotero account with that id. Are you saying that the only way to add them to a group is to send an invite to personid and they respond and then that's how they a…

I'm not sure zotero always saves locally. I have got it right now saving to a group library. But how it got that way, I'm not sure. Some people might like things a lot simpler, like "I only want to save to the group library", or "I only want to …

Why do you enable syncing? Tools, preferences in the zotero client.
-
Maybe it's saving it on the local site. Do you have zotero client installed? I've had problems predicting where zotero would be saving something, locally or on the web site. And further, if you have a group then the group library is a variable also.…

Ok I was told that this was a problem with the server and not the plugin and the server problem is now corrected.

I have seen that error also, in firefox. Are you using the standalone program or the plugin? I'd advise using the standalone program.
