Family Tree will not add any sources

When I try to add Sources to a person I get a gear type item that just goes round and round


Are you getting this also. Its been a few days.


Are they doing an upgrade? Is the system expecting to be disabeled for more days?


Could they put in a notification letting the users know the expected fix date?

Thank you

    I've added quite a few sources today without any trouble.

    Have you tried the usual advice? Restart your computer, clear cookies and cache, make sure your browser is up to date?

    I just tried attaching your example and things worked just fine. I did detach it again so you will need try the fixes I mentioned then see if you can attach the source.

    I thank you for helping me. I turned off the computer shut down totally and then restarted, still no success then I switched from Firefox to the Brave browser and attaching sources works in that browser


    Thank you for reassuring me that this wasn’t a churchwide problem and giving me courage to find an answer on my end

    Please send the problem to support

    Fire Fox Browser is not work as far as being able to add Sources


    Also e-mail support address goes to blank each time I try to use.


    I do believe both of these problems need to be sources to the software department

    Thank you

    @KWH2-SM3, I use FamilySearch daily in Firefox, and everything works perfectly fine, including attaching sources in Family Tree, and the Suggest an Idea section of Community. In other words, the problem is on your end, not FS's.

    When FS works in one browser but not the other, usually some browser housekeeping fixes the issue: make sure the browser is up to date, and clear you FS-related browsing history (cache and cookies).
