The Recommendations Retrieval is Frozen

I haven't been able to retrieve any Recommendations today. Just stays in 'Loading' permanently. Tried on 2 different logins with same result

No problems for me, except for how lousy the recommendations are. :-) But that's not new.

I doubt it's relevant, but in reporting a bug, it's always helpful to supply every detail. Starting with the device you're using (phone or computer), the operating system (iOS 15.5, Android 11, Windows 10, Mac OS 13.3.1), the way you're accessing LT (app or browser), and which browser if you're using a browser.

For instance, mine would be
M1 Mac (laptop, 16 GB RAM)
MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 (a)
FireFox 112.0.2

It would also be worth saying which way you took to get to recommendations. E.g. I started from Home and chose Recommendations on the sidebar and saw all the usual stuff.

>1 JoeB1934: Confirmed. Server side bug not client related. Steps to reproduce: Home -> Recommendations (horizontal menu, see screencap)

Confirmed. I'm seeing this error in the dev console:

caught SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'S', "
SELECT wts"... is not valid JSON

To Reproduce:
1. Go to https://www.librarything.com/recommendations and open the dev console to see the error.

Bug: The page just continually loads with no recs ever loaded.

Fixed. Give it a couple minutes.
