User Subscriptions for courses are removed during CourseUserLoads
Even though a user subscribes to an instructors course by toggling the subscription on, if course user loads are performed to add new users then all subscriptions to the course will be deleted. This is because all course users and their subscriptions are being deleted and then re-added during course user loads without any original subscription preferences.

The Show Tag Editor button is improperly aligned
The show tag editor button is not aligned to float to the right above the Reserve Items table.
To fix the "Show Tag Editor" button so it appears on the right side of the page instead of up against the "Save Item Order" button on the left, add the text below to main.css right below the .float-left entry (default row 978)
.float-right {
float: right;
