Investigating Trying to Create a Series But This Happens...

[Grandma The Chicken]

I don't know if anyone else is having the same issue but I'm trying to create a series but this page shows up:

The following below is what I have done:

• My BYC account was created, so there was no need to reset my password
• I have already deleted all of my browsing history
• I have read the troubleshooting guide

Now for the troubleshooting guide, here's what I did that was listed:

• I checked to see if someone has had the same issue as I did but it turns out no one did
• As mentioned above, I've already deleted my history
• My browser was already up-to-date
• I don't have any ad-blockers (do VPNs cause this too?)
• I tested this with Microsoft Edge, a different browser, which didn't work. I'll try this again with Ecosia
• Now I'm starting a new thread and above is all the things I have done.

I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue. Are BYC members not allowed to create series or something? Is this a staff-only thing?

Just to be clear, it's a thread series you're trying to do, not an article series? Also, what forum are you trying to post it in?

What's a series?

I don't think I know what that even is.

I just dug around....it looks like you have to create an article FIRST.

Create and article FIRST then you will be able to add a page to the article or add to series while on the article page:

Well, now that I can do. Thanks to the both of you. Also, the forum I'm posting in is Stories of My Chickens but it can be a mix of the Illnesses or Gardening forums.

I believe series things (what ever they are-I don't know) are only for ARTICLES. Not threads.

Start the first one here.

Once you click to PUBLISH it you will see the series option as showing in my screenshot above.

@Grandma The Chicken I just tried clicking the add series on my article...
It doesn't allow me to do anything.
I really shouldn't have answered you to begin with because I have absolutely no clue how this works.

I am sorry.

This is being caused by a conflict in addons. @Nifty-Chicken will need to report this to the addon authors:

Error: Call to undefined method SV\BookmarkEssentials\XF\Entity\User::canCreateImsSeries()
