Prefix Problem

[Cleon]

A month ago I started a new thread in the Creature Catalog and experienced an odd glitch. The only Prefix options available were "Review" and "(No prefix)".

So I selected "(No prefix)" but when I created the thread the board responded "Oops! We ran into some problems. Please select a prefix." so I had to enter "Review" to start the thread no matter how inappropriate it was.

Hoping it was just a temporary glitch, I gave it three weeks and tried editing the thread to be Prefix-less and got the same error message.

Further on the above, when I started this thread the forum only offered the same two "Review" and "(No prefix)" options, but this time it accepted "No prefix" as the thread type.

Because this is a different subforum...?

Who knows?

EDIT: Last night, I tried again for the umpteenth time and got the same "Oops! We ran into some problems. Please select a prefix" message after trying to change the prefix to (No prefix), but this time the change stuck!

When I refreshed the page it was a (No prefix) thread now.

No idea why it happened, but it's the thread type I wanted (or should that be lack of type?) which was good enough for me.

However, I just checked the thread this morning and it's still (erroneously) a Review thread. Did I imagine it changing or something?

Now I'm just confused!

Try now.

 

[Cleon]

Try now.

Will do…

Yup, that fixed it.

Used "Edit Thread" to change the prefix and enworld.org accepted the change.

Thanks!

Thanks!

RPG.net did? Blimey!

Oops!

…Surreptitiously edits post…

Rpg.net? I don't know what you're talking about. It clearly says enworld.org!

Just noticed this problem has occurred again, at least for me. In TTRPGs General, for example, "Reviews" is the only prefix visible on existing threads, only option to tag a new thread, and the only option for filtering.

In the Dungeons and Dragons forum, however, I see a total of 14 prefixes listed for filtering (only 13 in the dropdown for a new thread - ENWorld isn't an option there.) And all prefixes show next to existing threads.

It's not just you; I am seeing this as well. Maybe we can try summoning @Morrus and he can work the same magic he did before.
