I'm not sure what happened, but all of sudden the app stopped working. The add-on looks different than before and there is no anki button on my Uworld review page. I have checked the clipboard query box and the SCW Uworld box.

For everyone having issues with the qid copying feature, click on the add on and check the box that says "clipboard query copy during question review" and refresh the page and it should start working again
