Description

Even though I am a member of the guild, the "guild feature required" warning shows up everyday when I log in to work on any of my articles. I am new at World Anvil, so I am not sure if it is related to that. It usually appears a few minutes after I have started writing, I believe during the autosave moment, which means I tend to lose part of what I already worked on.

This can be quite frustrating not only because it breaks the flow of the writing, but also because I have very few minutes to dedicate to my writing on a daily basis, usually somewhere between 10 to 30. If everyday I am wasting 5 of those to log in, log out, refresh the page or close and reopen the tab for the website to start working properly, it can seriously affect my momemtum and my ability to keep using World Anvil as my main Worldbuilding platform.

Steps to Reproduce

Step 1: Log in to my World Anvil account.

Step 2: Open literally any of my Articles.

Step 3: Start editing, eventually the pop up appears, usually after a few minutes, but almost everyday as far as I can remember.

This specifically happens to me when I am editing URLs or excerpts, fairly frequently

I have this issue when I try to activate the Community Social features for my world. It tells me I need to be a Master, which I am.

Just got this for typing in the vignette... a free feature.

I got it for the 2nd time tonight when I used the "Create a new article" tool on the right to try to create a Geography (location) article. The error pop up appeared immediately after the blank article finished loading, before I had any chance to type in a title for the article.  
Additional data points for tracking down the bug:
Fully up to date Firefox, Windows 11, and for my previous incident tonight I commented in my previous (closed) bug report from earlier this year, Xuroth.   Edit to add: I'm also getting the "Verify that you're human" thing a lot more frequently. If that's something you did, smurfy. If it is not, are we under bot attack again? Or is this something to do with trying to pull data from a bunch of other sites on each page load?

Well that's certainly different!   Screenshot of the result after I clicked here to attempt a fix:

Also continuously having this issue. On my end, I press the "fix" link, the article opens, and I save again, getting the same issue.   I thought it could be connection based, but it has happened across devices and on different   I've had
