Having Trouble With Setting Up Game.

This may just be my ignorance in regards to how the cite works, but when I created my Call Of Cthulhu game (The Devil's Daughter), whenever I click on the forum button in the bottom right hand corner, it brings me to the site's main forum instead of my game's own forum. I also click the button to make the game private and nothing happen, it just stays stuck on public.

It just feels a bit bugged, but again I'm not entirely sure. Any help would be appreciated.

I assume https://gamersplane.com/games/5234/ is the game in question. I can see that you've given your game a title, selected the system, and picked character sheets. I'm not entirely sure what's affecting your game, so we'll need to investigate further.

When I was setting up the game at first, I accidentally imputed the wrong link for the recruitment thread, I got stuck on an infinite loading screen (I had to reload the site to get out of it) once I edited the correct link back in, I clicked on the forum button (as you can do and see if it works for yourself) and it just brings me to the main site and not a sub forum for the game. Maybe I glitched it somehow?

Can confirm the behavior. Clicking on "(Read the forum)" button on the game's Details page sends you to https://gamersplane.com/forums/ while the link inserted into the line is https://gamersplane.com/forums/-1 .

I've had this issue. Created a board, clicked on it, and it just takes me back to the main forum.

I hope this isn't some kind of site wide glitch, that'd be really unfortunate if new games couldn't be created, well, "created" in the sense they can't be played due to not having access to the subforum feature.

I hope not. Fingers are crossed that it can be resolved.

It sounds like the endless loop you experienced might have contributed to a failed setup of your game. While we look into this, are you able to create a new game to replace the problematic one? That should at least get you going while we investigate.

As a workaround, you might also be able to add a forum from the Administrative Panel, but unfortunately to access it you need at least one working forum somewhere else. If someone can make you are temporary GM in another game, you should be able to navigate to the Panel and add a new forum through it. (Unless this bug completely bricked the system and you won't even see the original game in it.) If you're willing to experiment, I'm happy to set you as GM for one of my test games!

PS: although I do think the main forum just failed to create, since I can't find any public forums with IDs between 13086 and 13105, which yours would be in. Panel probably won't help if so. :(

Alright, I'll create a new game and rename the old one to "Bugged" so it's clear.
Thanks for the thought, I appreciate it.

So I need to create the game again?

I can get to my Details page, but clicking the Forum button takes me back to the main forum list.

I just tried it as you can see and it still didn't work, so I'd hold off so we don't end up accidentally spamming the site with broken games.

Did you experience another endless loop somewhere during the process? Or did this appear to go okay, only to end up in the same bugged state?

Very strange. If I look at the recent games list I see that both of JospehStrange's games have bugged as well as Forever_Lost's game (as mentioned above). But BedzoneII made a game after that and that one is working just fine.

I also made a game yesterday (set as private so not in the public list) and it's working fine.

If you go to https://gamersplane.com/forums/ and scroll down to "Game Forums", do you see your newly-created game(s) listed there?

Yep, I was testing if the problem was connected to making new games. But my works fine, and Qralloq's new game works fine.

Please try CancerMan's latest suggestion and tell us what you see.

And thank you both Jospehstrange and Forever_Lost for your patience in troubleshooting this together. It must be frustrating to be newish to the site and not be able to get things to work the way they ought.

I don't see mine. Only the Tavern one.

Not a problem at all. I appreciate the assist.
