This seems to be a bug just affecting individual recipes that you add to your Bookshelf.  It doesn't seem to affect bookmarking recipes from books, magazines or blogs that are on your Bookshelf.  I have passed it on to our developer for a fix.  Thanks Cati for alerting us to the issue.

No, it doesn't just affect individual recipes.  I just now experienced the bug Cati reported while trying to add a bookmark to a recipe in a cookbook that's been on my bookshelf.  The recipe has three other bookmarks.  I tried to add another, and it appears to have succeeded, but then when I refresh, or reload my bookmarks, it clearly hasn't taken.

In case it helps figure it out, the recipe in question is Sweet potato wedges with lemongrass creme fraiche from Plenty.

Update: Thought it might be a limit on number of bookmarks for any given recipe, but no, as I've just successfully added four to other recipes, both in recipe view and in bookshelf view.  And the bug with the sweet potato wedge recipe occurs whether the bookmark is added in Bookshelf or Recipe view.  So something's definitely hinky with that particular recipe???

ellabee - I just tried adding Bookmarks to that very recipe and it worked every time.  I added it from the Library book details page, from My Bookshelf search results and every time it worked and stayed in place.  It is possible that you are still using a cached version of the site before the bug was fixed.  Can you try signing out (from your username at top right) then sign back in and try again?  If you still cannot get the bookmark to take, then let us know what browser you are using and we will try to replicate your issue.

Just signed out and back in.  Went to recipe view of Sweet potato wedges etc., added a bookmark; when I refreshed the page, it was gone.

Then I brought the recipe up as part of a search page. Added a bookmark; when I refreshed, it disappeared.  Also was gone when, before refreshing, I right-clicked to bring up the recipe view.  No problems adding bookmark to other recipes in the search list.

Seems to be limited to that one recipe, because I also just tested other recipes I knew had multiple bookmarks; they work fine.

Bizarre.

My browser is Firefox 19.0.2, if that's any help in replicating.
