I have a bug of sorts when posting OFB Links as sources from Metasuche

Hi,

I have a bug of sorts when posting OFB Links as sources from Metasuche. My ancestor Martin Clementz (1737-1794) shows up in the links I initially post, but then weeks or months later, the link at the cited source is changed from the correct url to a different OFB link, not even related to my research. This has happened 2-3 times for Martin and not the 1st time for sure overall with other members of my Polish family members. If you can tell me if there is a bug or what, please do?

Brian

    @Brian Paul Kaess Can you provide screenshots of the two incidents for the community to review? Have you checked the change log to see if someone other than you is making these changes?

    My first thought was that the URLs from OFB might not be configured as permalinks.

    I checked the change log and I am the only user, There's no indication of change to a diffrent OFB, just the Janowitz OFB's I put in. Maybe it's the permalink problem.

    The relevant profile: https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/sources/G154-7JP

    We can see that the URL for the 1735 source has changed several times over the last 2 months. https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/sources/changelog/7847-V69?context
