An update to the JMdictDB database and software has just been installed.

The major change has been to eliminate the possibility of "forks" in
edits to an entry. If you attempt to make an edit to an entry which
has already had edits proposed to it, you will receive an alert, and
if you proceed, your edit will override the previous one(s).

There have also been some changes in the search criteria in the
Advanced Search page. If you are searching by entry sequence number,
you may need to select one of the Status/Approval options.
