Can't get a work to show up in series / author checkmarks

I entered this work earlier today: https://www.librarything.com/work/3095261/editions/193469204 along with books 2 & 3 in the mini-series.

As you will see, it has the primary author John Carnell - which is https://www.librarything.com/author/carnelljohn-2

However, for the life of me although the series is correctly displayed in the book record, when I click on it, I don't get the checkmark. Neither do I get the checkmark when I click through to the author page. If I click from the correct title on either the series page or the author page, I don't get to my main page - I just go to the work page - https://www.librarything.com/work/3095261 (which is the correct work number), where if you scroll down you will see that I've added it. It's as though my version has failed to associate correctly with the work.

I can't see any other obvious combinations; if I add to workbench from my book page or the work page, there's only ever one entry. However, there are some entries in the editions list which may actually be the collected issues, although they aren't associated with an ISBN. The edition with the ISBN (according to Goodreads) is an ebook version with what looks like the correct number of pages for book 1.

I seem to recall others were having a similar problem a couple of weeks back? Has that been resolved?

>1 Maddz: I don't know how to resolve this, but I thought I'd add a couple of screenshots to show the discrepancy...

What title looks like in Maddz' collection... (1 of 16 members)


What title looks like at LT website level... (16 members)

This sounds a lot like a bug I reported in April 2019 (that still hasn't been resolved). Bug report is here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/305973

The only difference I can see is that the member count seems to be accurately reflected, which is not the case in the work I have this issue on (216 members going by the count in my catalog, but only 18 show up on the work when I click on any link to it other than the link from my catalog).

>2 Conkie: Now that's interesting - in my catalogue view, the series isn't showing up.

However, when I add that book from my catalogue and the book from the series to the workbench, I only ever see one entry...

>4 Maddz: Using my 1st pic, are you saying that you don't see the series for books 2&3?

>4 Maddz: Check your entry now. I think it might have been resolved?

Yes, you're right! Something must have caught up and I'm now seeing all 3 checkmarks on the appropriate pages.

Phew! It must have been a slow-running process - about 48 hours since I logged the books.
