Combining work gone wrong (for me)

Good morning,

When i added 'The three-body problem' to my collection https://www.librarything.es/work/14831230 with the spanish ISBN 8413143411 (ISBN13 9788413143415), it was attached to the Remembrance of Earth's Past: The Three-Body Trilogy box https://www.librarything.es/work/19264016 by mistake.

I took all the spanish versions of the book with that ISBN ,separated for the wrong work and combined correctly to the correct book 'The three-body problem' https://www.librarything.es/work/14831230

Now, if you look up for the ISBN 8413143411 (ISBN13 9788413143415) on the whole site, it still shows you the wrong work Remembrance of Earth's Past: The Three-Body Trilogy box https://www.librarything.es/work/19264016 when the ISBN 8413143411 is not present in 'editions'.

If you now add the book with a dummy account using the ISBN 8413143411 (ISBN13 9788413143415), all looks good, it adds to your library with the correct title, correct series and correct author and the green mark check shows on the author list and in the series, and also in the catalog, in the field 'series' it appears correctly': https://www.librarything.es/catalog/kernelpanic81 , so it appears the changes i have made are correct.....

But for me it does not appear the green check in the author's page nor in the series, and in my catalog does not appear the series, and if i load the work main page https://www.librarything.es/work/14831230 it shows the green 'add item' in the upper right corner. https://www.librarything.es/catalog/juancho81

I'm not sure if this is a some kind of cache problem with my profile or if i did anything wrong (if that's the case, i would want to know it because i usually work cataloging the spanish editions of a lot of books). My actions are shown in helpers log November 18th 8am-9am EST (13:00-14:00 GMT)

Can somebody give me a hand? :).

Thanks!!

Juan.

Your copy of El problema de los tres cuerpos seems to be in the correct work. Sometimes after combining some parts take a while to catch up. If there is still a problem tomorrow, you should write a bug report, being sure to include the full URL of your copy. (both work and book numbers.)

My experience is that continuing to fiddle just gets the computer more mixed up. Give it a chance to settle down. (I am the first person to enter many German editions.)

>2 MarthaJeanne: I've been busier than expected last few weeks..... It looks it has been fixed by itself. Thanks for your advice MarthaJeanne.

Cheers!
