I've just created a new campaign, and nobody can seem to create see the gameplay thread. Two players have tried to "dot" and delete, and they showed up in the "characters" and "players" tab, so something must have happened. However, every time I try to post there, nothing seems to happen. Same with my players.
Here's a link to the game.
Using a different browser doesn't help.
This is a screenshot of what I see when I try to post. It looks different than my other campaigns. Usually I don't have that "forum" drop down menu on the right.
It's possible that the original post in gameplay was deleted - could that have messed it up? Can it be fixed, or do I need to create a new campaign?
If the first post in the gameplay thread is deleted, the thread will be broken. Paizo can fix it from their end, but as busy as they are right now, it would probably be quicker for you to detach the broken thread and attach a new one.
Players can dot and delete a gameplay thread, but the initial post the GM makes to create the thread has to remain.
Would you please post a step-by-step description of how you detach one gameplay thread and attach a new one?

Hm. I have not actually done it before, but it looks like you need to create a new gameplay thread and then attach your original discussion and recruitment threads to that in the campaign management tools. So, less detaching gameplay and more attaching the other threads to a new game thread. There's an Unset option for every thread in a campaign but gameplay.
That leaves the problem of a random empty campaign floating around your Campaigns tab, though you should be able to detach the discussion and recruitment threads, make it inactive, and hide it. Down the line, when the Paizo staff is back in the office hopefully at some point, they may be able to delete the superfluous thread/campaign.
Otoh, Paizo may be able to fix the original thread sooner than I expect. It's the tech team, not the customer service team, so they might not have as much on their plate. Depends on how long you're willing to wait to get your game started.
