Problem
This issue is related to #2178.
A fix (#2180) was made which added an alert box when an error was encountered.
However, the invalid database was added to the database list anyway.
I believe this should not be the case.

additionally I think it would improve the user experience if athens could accept full URLs with http://.
This was what I initially tried too and was confused that it didn't work.
