When attempting to access the notebook feature upon logging into the web client. On clicking the notebook icon in the right side bar, an error appears on the screen in the following format:

"Guild Feature: Look like its back to the blackberry... Notebook is a master tier feature. Get access to Notebook and have all your thoughts one click away. "Join the Worldbuilders Guild". If you are already a member of this rank, click here to fix this."

Context: When I click on my account and click on Account, I can see I am part of the Grandmaster Worldsmith tier, which should be eligible on the permission list for notebook.

Things I have tried so far:

  1. Tried clicking the link in the error which reloads the page. This results in the same behaviour upon clicking notebook.
  2. I have tried a different browser from Brave (Chrome, Edge) and disabling extensions. All result in the same error.
  3. I have tried logging out, and logging back in to WorldAnvil.

I was able to access this feature last week, so wondering if this is a bug, I did check the patch notes and documentation briefly (albeit did skim read) just in case this had changed membership tiers.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Log in and go to the main world building home screen.
  2. On the right side click "Notebook"
  3. The error should appear here, saying that you need to be a guild member for this feature.
  4. Clicking the link in the error box doesnt appear to resolve.

Thought id also do a proactive test and try a different device (Samsung device running Android, and using the built in Samsung Internet Browser) had the same error occur. Just thought id try additional troubleshooting.

This happens for me with Windows/Firefox, not only when I try to access "Notebook" from the right side menu, but also when I try to access "Quick Note" from the collapsible right sidebar or "Create Any Content," then "Note" on the right sidebar.

I'm also finding I have this issue. I'm on Linux/Firefox however, I also tried chrome and on my mobile to no avail.

I did manage to find a work around sort of. If you have recent notes on your dashboard, clicking on it and clicking on the note section at the top sometimes brings you into the notebook. Other times it spins forever with the message "please wait whilst the notebook is loading"

This issue seems to have self resolved since last night, will keep bug report open as it seems others are encountering the same issue.

I've also had the issue resolve.
