Re: the 'add to songbook' feature is broken

Howdy,  At the moment nothing seems wrong with the log-on function from my end ("user side" not Admin side), but having said that it does not mean the problem does not exist.
One thing you might try is clearing cookies in your browser and then visiting the site and logging on as usual.  A majority of log-on problems in the past have been the result of a corrupt or expired cookie.  Clearing the old out, will often "cure" the difficulty.  Let us know if that worked for you as well.

Thanks for letting us know about the issue.

it's just the 'login/add to songbook' that's dodgy

Did you try clearing your cookie as Doug suggested before you posted this reply?

Songbook not working for me either - link doesn't go to login, displays info page instead, and even when logged in can't save anything new to songbook. Cleared cookies and cache in Chrome - still no luck. Hope it's back soon !

Not sure what's going on now - songbook won't work with Celine Dion (okay, okay - just saying) but does with a Waifs song. Go figure!

maybe it's to do with where the song is stored...?

It seem to be working for me. Even Celine Dion.
Sometime there are more than one version of the song. You have to pick one and click on it. You have to see the song with the cords, to get the [add song] button to work.
Also disable any and all ad blockers you may be using. White list chordie.com.
Please don't use ad blockers on Chordie.com.

It's how we can give back for using such a great service!

I'm not an expert on this site, but do you have cookies enabled, which would keep you logged in??  (or, techically, you log in again, via the cookie, but appears as if you don't log out) - also, if you do log in, check any boxes that say "keep me logged in" ...

Cheers

Richard
