Link returns "There is no work with that reference number."

So, I received and read an Early Reviewer book, went to add it so I could write a review, couldn't find it in any external search so I added it manually. At this point it automagically picked up one of the other manual records sufficiently to give me an existing bookcover, I wrote the review and posted it. So far so good (though I *wish* we could search among existing manual records the way we can search Amazon and avoid retyping everything in all over again but anyway).

But now from my bookshelf (https://www.librarything.com/catalog/zeborah)

1) if I click the title (Marian Halcombe) it takes me to https://www.librarything.com/work/book/196590527 which shows that I've got it and left a review which I can edit. But the "Members: 1" link takes me to a list of 6 members none of whom are me. And the "Member reviews" section shows two reviews, neither of which are mine.

2) if instead I click the "members" or "reviews" links (https://www.librarything.com/work/26021690/members/196590527 and https://www.librarything.com/work/26021690/reviews/196590527 respectively) it takes me to https://www.librarything.com/problem/18 with error message "Problem There is no work with that reference number."

I thought it might just be Thinking and indexing or something so waited a day or two but still having the same problem. The records seem to have got tangled somehow and I don't know enough about the information architecture to even begin figuring out what's happened or how to fix it.

>1 zeborah: The bug (works not showing all member holdings) that you are experiencing has occurred before.

Please see this BUG thread for some history (I have added a link there to this thread, too):
Missing Work ID https://www.librarything.com/topic/305973#

In addition, this topic came up in the COMBINERS! group:
Beyond Me, I Need Help - Book Still Not Showing After Combined https://www.librarything.com/topic/329797

Hopefully, by tying these all together, the issue will be move up the chain of importance.

>2 Conkie: Thank you, that does look like the same issue - good to know it's not just me and hopefully it'll be investigated and solved at some point.
