Within the past week or two I have been getting an error message when I try to access any suggestions from the “Research Help” section on the right of my FamilySearch screen. The same thing happens if I attempt to click on “Possible Duplicate.”

There was a problem editing this To-Do. You may need to try again later.". The edited text did appear to have been saved at the time, but when I refreshed the page, it had not been saved. The total size of the altered entry's text was about 1KB.
