[LON-CAPA-users] Warning message on republication of a problem (reposting with attached text rather than figures)

[Gerd Kortemeyer]

Hi,

We believe you should do the following:

* get a CHRT of this week with number of tries
* republish the problems
* do CHRT again, compare

We can always recover the data, if necessary by hand. LON-CAPA never  
throws anything away.

We would like to get a copy of the publication log data file to get  
to the bottom of this. To me it currently looks like a publication  
bug in version 2.3.0, just like you suggest below.

- Gerd.
