Users unable to create bug report posts on the forum

Hello,

I am writing this on behalf of some individuals in the Discord to bring this to your attention. There seems to be more than one individual having issues being able to apply tags to their posts making it hard for them to use the forum. Below I will show an example of a conversation on the official Discord.

And here is the user’s screenshot showing what they saw

This is just an example of one user, but I will provide more info as needed or if given permission to. I will also encourage others to comment if they can.

Edit to add: There are users who want to make bug reports, and they may be for different reasons. I am just making the bug report about the forum in regards to their inability to post because they can’t add a tag.

It also happened to me when I tried to make my first bug report an hour ago. There was no tags option when I first made a post; now everything is fine for me.

I only managed to add a tag to the bug report by going to “My posts” → “Drafts” → “Resume.”

Hi @BeepBoop ,
I understand you reported the issue on behalf of someone else, but could you please check how exactly the user attempted to create the post?
From the screenshot they shared, I noticed there’s no “New Topic” button visible.

For comparison, here’s how it normally looks:

Thanks a lot!

Yeah I’m having the same issue, the tags icon will not appear for me. And the new topic button isn’t in mine either.

Hi @missymidnight999,
If the same issue is still occurring, could you please refresh the forum site and try again?

If the same issue is still occurring, could you please ask the user to refresh the forum site and try again?
Sometimes the posting feature may not work properly without a page refresh.
If the issue still persists, please let me know again.

Hello, I don’t know if this is the right place for this, but when I navigate to the forum here sometimes the “New Topic” button is missing from the upper right corner. It doesn’t appear again until I open the bug report forum by right clicking and opening in a new tab. Then it appears again.

Hi @Luna_Graves,
To help us look into this issue in more detail, could you please share the following information?

  • Which browser you’re using
  • Whether you were logged in when the button didn’t appear
  • When you refresh the page, does the button appear correctly?
  • If refreshing the page doesn’t fix it, do you always need to open link in new tab for the button to show up?

When it happened to me I was using Opera, I was logged in, refreshing and navigating away and coming back both did not work, and I needed to open the link in a new tab for the button in order to make it work. It took me maybe 20 minutes of navigating to figure that out. But now that I’ve done that once, the button has been showing up consistently on Opera.

I’m glad to hear the button is showing up consistently now.
If the issue comes up again, please feel free to let us know!

Hi @scerebe, sorry again for the trouble.
Just to check—are you also unable to post what you wanted to say as a comment?

If so, I know it’s a bit inconvenient, but could you send your message to us through https://support.playinzoi.com/?
We’ll look into which word might be causing the problem and get it sorted out for you.

It won’t let me make a bug report either, and Cahaya in my game is not working. The boats, scooters, and snorkels are not working. When my Zoi swims, it won’t even let her dive, so she’s swimming on top of the water the whole time.

Is it also failing because a word is not allowed?
Do you maybe use the ‘TM’ character in your system decription? Try to remove it.
It happens quite a lot.

same here, I don’t even have the option to begin a post

Hi @Mumsie ,
Sorry for the inconvenience. :psycat_sad:
Could you please try refreshing the browser and then attempt to create the topic again?
