"Error linking to source" Tried again today and am having the same problem.
Is anyone else getting this error lately.

I have often reported problems here that no one else seems to be experiencing. Using your link, there did not seem to be any problem at present, but I'm sure if there is an issue other users else will come here to confirm it's happening to them, too.

FamilySearch usually prefers Google's Chrome browser, and sure enough - as soon as she switched to Chrome, her similar error message went away.

Adding a person when in source linker quite often also gives the same error message. What bothers me in source linker is that before I start to add a person, I open up 'details' so I can compare data, but as soon as I go add person, the data window closes and the pop up window opens and obscures the data underneath it, and only closes that line of data, persons above and below my person stay open but are obscured. I've also noticed that there seems to be a difference re contact for info to LDS as to whether or not i am a member. Lately all I get is a long long email showing all the links to the Help pages, which for me seldom have an answer to my problem ie as we discussed above.
