I'm having problems viewing Personas data
I use the personas function so that I can view the person's occupation when it doesn't appear in the record as presented. Over the last week I haven't been able to view any personas data for any records. Can somebody please try this one and report back whether it's working, in which case I'll start looking for faults my my end.

Boringly I think FS must have switched off direct browser (as opposed to authenticated API) access to personas. It used to work with some records, not all, but I noticed over the weekend that one I would have expected to work no longer did. I'm getting a 401 when clicking on the link you've given. I've also tried a 1790 US Census record with similar results.

For anyone who's interested: If you feel the need to view the occupation and can't use the personas data, you can start the attachment process without attaching a person, and then expand the details to see if the occupation is revealed.

I can see the data using the personas link that you provided; (fyi, John Cooke was a coal miner). I'm using a Chrome browser and Windows 10.

Oh brilliant, so can I now. Must have been a blip only. Thanks @JulianBrown38.

The site was having a few issues yesterday and earlier today. Most of the ones I had encountered have cleared up now.
For about 8 hours, I was getting all titles in Spanish, no matter what language I selected. Even clearing cookies or changing browsers didn't help. Some features were not working.
Teething pains seem to have passed.

Thanks to all for the feedback. It saved me from tearing down my machine. I can view the personas data now as well.
