I finally decided to actually use a bookmark, in the Lateral Thinking game thread so I could find where I left off. (I’m generally always behind.)

But I try to go to my bookmarks today, and the dropdown is blank. I then click to view all bookmarks, and I get the most bizarre error: “You don’t have permission to view this user’s bookmarks.” But “this user” is me!

I know we may not be able to work on the problem right now, but I thought it would be good to report it, and check and see if other people are experiencing the same issue. Plus maybe some people have workarounds.
