Bookmarks also don't work for these games, so I'm fairly certain the forums for them just weren't created at all.

The only commonality I can see between the three games (which also doesn't apply to the other two) is that they were made by relatively new users, so maybe it could be helpful if someone else with a new account could test it. (Maybe on the staging site to not multiply the games too much. Speaking of which, mods, some probably-bot is spamming all over there.)

I just created a new account (Chal) and created a test game and it seems to have worked: Details | Forum

You both have quite long game descriptions and char gen info with formatting or images. It's possible some character or string of characters is causing a bug during creation. I'd recommend trying to create a simple test game like I did (maybe use the exact settings I used). If it works, then you can edit any of the details later to change it from a test to the game you want. At that point the forum will have been created, so I think you'll be good. If it doesn't work, we'll know it is something specific to your account or device or location, etc, in which case the site owner might need to troubleshoot that.

Just tried setting one up, and appears a forum is made. I'll try editing over my Details notes. What do I do with the faulty game?

Scratch that. Trying to edit in the Details and I'm just stuck with the white/orange die loading icon.

I've tried to edit one field at a time, to see if the issue lies in a specific field that I'm filling in, but I can't even edit the title. I just get stuck on the loading icon, and then nothing updates when the page is refreshed.

Maybe it's the length of the title? I just tried with your game title and it got stuck, but then I tried with a shorter title "STAR WARS: Tempest Feud" and it worked.

I tried copying all your details (other than the title length) and it seems to have worked on my game. Hope this solves it for you.

For the broken game, I'd edit the title to something like "Broken Game: Please Delete" and @Keleth - the site owner - can hopefully delete it for you.

Seems likely (good work!)--I noticed that inspecting the new game page html implies there's a 100 character limit set:

input id="title" type="text" ng-model="game.title" maxlength="100" ng-change="validateTitle()" ng-blur="validateTitle()" ng-class="{ 'error': errors.indexOf('invalidTitle') >= 0 || errors.indexOf('repeatTitle') >= 0 }" class="ng-pristine ng-valid ng-empty ng-valid-maxlength error ng-touched" style=""

What's weird is that something like: "The Devil's Daughters - An Late 1600s Call Of Cthulhu Oneshot" looks like it is <100 characters but encountered the issue (though that may just be why it's not triggering an error message if the accepted field length is shorter)...

That has indeed allowed me to edit it. Thank you!

I've changed the title of the buggy game to "Broken Game: Please Delete"

Upon some practical testing, it appears the title breaks at 51 symbols.

Interestingly, the other title-related error there - the repeat title - doesn't seem to work properly either, although instead of showing infinite loading it just lets you repeat game titles.

I've just done this, and it's worked and I've changed both of the other game titles to Broken Game: Please Delete. Thanks so much for the help everyone.

Same. I appreciate the help.

Random question: would a GM create a character sheet for themselves as a GM, so that they can post under that title/persona in their game?

Also, I'm trying to delete a sub-forum on my game board, but the Delete button won't do anything when clicked. Any ideas on how I can remove the subforum?

Glad we got to the bottom of it! Enjoy the games!

You could do that or you can also use the NPC tag described here.

Thank you. Now I just need to figure out what to do with my subforum.

I'm trying to delete the sub forum on my board, and when I try I get to the following pink pop up box:
Quote:
Are you sure you want to delete OOC Threads? This cannot be reversed!

This will delete all threads, posts, and relating content in this forum, as well as in any subforums and the subforums themselves.

Delete / Cancel
When I click on Delete, nothing happens. The button is unresponsive, and I can't get rid of the subforum.

Huh. Just made a subforum in my test-space game and encountered the same thing. I thought this was fixed? Or maybe there was trick-fix to it. I remember there being thread about this issue before.

Looked through the first few pages of "Bugs", but there are only threads about subforums disappearing and being inaccessible. I do remember multiple people asking to delete some subforms because they couldn't do it though..

Hopefully there'll be some sort of fix for it, if it's occurred before.

You might be thinking about this thread. It certainly has been reported before, but I don't think there is any official fix (yet).

I'll check this thread out, see if it can help.
