Tags Wiped

I have this issue and It's very concerning. I'm scanning my books and tagging them in batches. the titles save and so do my tags. Then, when I went to reload the Your books page, my tags for the last 40 books vanished. I checked over to the tags view, and saw my tags were still present, despite not displaying. Then, returning to the your books page, all of my tags, save for 2, had vanished as if erased. In my setup, two suspicious points that might account for failure are: i have a rough-shod wi-fi setup, and I have two terminals and two iphones logged on using the system at once.
Please Advise, as I'm at an impass with this library thing.
UPDATE: For a brief period, my tags re-appeared and i resumed work on my library, then this happened again!

I would really like input on this because I'm incredibly confused and deeply upset.

There is definitely something odd going on with your tags. If I look at your catalog sorted by tag, I see a mix of apparently-populated and apparently-blank tags:



When I look at your tags view, it aligns with what I see in your catalog, but there's some sort of "ghost" tags there.

Do you have multiple devices editing simultaneously? I can see that that might produce issues.

>3 lorax: I do. I am scanning in with my iPhone and then editing the tags with my laptop computer.

>3 lorax: Based on this conversation I'm going to try a new approach- closing my phone and then loading my digital library.
I will first begin by re-tagging my files.

>3 lorax: Update: I have now re-entered all of my tags. Now I'm going to log off on the computer and scan in through my phone.

So far so good. I am tentative making any steps forward, but I think this may have been the right move. devs might want to know about this, but i do not know how to inform them.

Can you give me a book you believe you have tagged which has no tags? I need something concrete to go on to look into this.

timspalding (#8):

The OP said in #6 that they had re-entered all their tags, so I don't think there are any live examples anymore.
