I created two new Campaigns here and here. I populated all the campaign threads and the info page, we've been planning in both threads, and now I can't make the initial post in either Gameplay thread.
I get the empty box as usual. When I paste the text there, it allows me to use the Preview button, but nothing shows up besides the populated text box. I can Submit, it takes some time, then nothing displays but the empty text entry box again. No new entries appear on the Messageboard sidebar log, either.
When I created the campaigns, I did have to put a first post in Gameplay, which I subsequently deleted after the rest of the campaign was set up because I didn't have the first real Gameplay post ready.
It's not an emergency because we won't start until 2/1, but I would like to be able to use these two campaigns without having to set up new ones.
Thanks for your help!
ADDENDUM: I disabled Oladon's Campaign Tools extension for Chrome and re-tried it. No joy.
I also tried using the tool instead of just typing in the empty text box. No joy.
I did notice at one point that the url ended in "gameplay#2", so I may have dorked it up by deleting the first post. D'oh.

Yup, deleting the first post kills the thread. I have two (at least) games that are essentially empty because I did that before I realized, and I believe Chris L. has confirmed that it messes it up.

You don't have to put a post in Gameplay to start a campaign. I've started campaigns with only Recruitment or Discussion threads and only started Gameplay when we were ready to start playing.
{To be clear, I know that this is entirely unhelpful now, but it may help you avoid the problem in the future if you don't think you have to make a Gameplay thread before you're ready to.}
Hey Treppa, I've gone ahead and unstuck your gameplay threads. There's a bug that makes them "hidden" once the first post is deleted. I think I've cleaned them up properly, but if you have any text changes you want made to the "Silver's Swift, Sweet Sound" post, feel free to send that to community@paizo.com and I'll correct it for you :)
You da bomb, Runnin' Robot! <3 Thanks so much.
