Whenever I create a list and adding something to it when it saves it won't add the content
Lists Problem
Exact same problem with me. In my case everything was fixed a little bit earlier today and now nothing will save that is new. Buttons work fine and I can move things up and down and can save changes in order. I am on Mozilla Foxfire.
@bluelantern1995: Yeah I'm having a similar problem. Was considering trying to see if I could edit one but am afraid that it will blank the list, but it appears that it would do what's happened to you. I'm on Chrome.
@broo1232: Annoying isn't it?
@johnkmccubbin91: It is unfortunately I want to add a lot to some of my lists but I save it then they're not there it's really annoying.
@broo1232: Yeah, I was wanting to do my usual list for the weeks stuff, but can't. : (
@johnkmccubbin91: That's really unfortunate I know this is a regular thing for you but I hope it gets fixed.
@broo1232: So do I.
@johnkmccubbin91: business hours have not started yet, please don't bump threads.
@pikahyper: sorry didn't think
@pikahyper: also do you mean threads in general or just on the bug reports?
@johnkmccubbin91: well not too good for bug reports unless it's been forgotten for at least a week, as for the rest of the forum Bumping : When To Do It And When To Not. Also helps to scan through the bug reporting forum to see if other users are reporting similar problems and right now most bug reports are list related.
I also have this problem and even on the odd occasion it does save i can only add one thing at a time. Which means that to do a list you have to add something then save it, then add another then save it.
It takes forever.
@pikahyper: I see. Also I can only see one list like this and it was posted later, although there are other ones about lists.
@z1co80: I'm not even able to get that far.
@rabidwolfdog: Same here as I've been trying to make one for days.
@johnkmccubbin91: Same problem bro, think it's a general bug that most users are having. I hope they fix it, cause I've been meaning to add quite few list up now.
I'm just wondering as prior to the relaunch I never had to post in this section, but do the people that fix this actually know as it's been over 4 days, and I don't even know if it's been acknowledged. Just wondering?
Well you'd hope it's been acknowledged but who knows.
The old site was so much better in my opinion. Just my preference of course.
@z1co80: Yeah I'd have hoped so. There's stuff I like about the new site (design) and stuff I don't (no half stars, no users reviews list).
I'd like to know as well. This has been an ongoing thing for quite a while, and we've not even received a direct acknowledgement that it's being prioritized. I actually had to use Excel today to make a list that I had planned to make on CV.
Any time people prefer a spreadsheet to your website, you know something's wrong.
@akbogert: Too true too true. I'm not so bothered about how long it's been personally, it's more that it's not been acknowledged as I feel that I'm wasting my time posting, and hoping.
@pikahyper: I was just wondering seems you're a moderator if you know if anything's getting done about this, as I'm not trying to rush the problem, it's just that there's been no actual acknowledgement that anyone is working on it, or that anyone that can fix it knows about it. Just asking.
@johnkmccubbin91: like I'm telling everybody, the engineers are extremely busy fixing bugs, everything has to be prioritized and right now this isn't the biggest bug so it will take as long as it takes.
@pikahyper: Fair enough, I didn't know that as I've not really been affected by any other bugs.
@johnkmccubbin91: most people just don't notice

Ok I have fixed adding items to lists on our dev environment, but unfortunately that fix won't be pushed out until Monday next week.
The re-ordering stuff should have been fixed a while ago. The links not working in descriptions is intentional for now.
Over on Giant Bomb, 3 days ago. Lists are having the same problem. What I gather is, it's fixed, but won't be live until next Monday's update (the 29th). I'm assuming it's the same backend as the one used here, but feel free to correct me.
@andy_117: Thanks, at least this is something I didn't know before, as not going on Giant Bomb that much I don't really know if there's similar problems.
@ltsquigs: Thank you and all of the people working for our comicvine experience, I was absent for days but then I wanted to make a list, it's actually my main attraction on the site, it had many items when I tried to save it and discovered the bug, so I came to the forums immediately. Maybe there should be an announce for this kind of bugs, so people can avoid what i went through and I'm sure many other did.
@pikahyper@ltsquigs: @mrpibb maybe it would be a good idea to add a sticky with a known bug list.
List system is back up.
Edited to add: Ok it is not 100%, everything works except that when you create a new list and add something to it and save the list will be created but whatever is added won't be added, so I recommend creating the list and adding one item then save and edit again and then add to the list.
@pikahyper: Thanks for the info. Was gonna say something like this but was kinda confused as to if it was just that one time(as has happened before to me) but it just kept happening. Again thanks for the info.
@bluelantern1995: ya once you do the little work around it works great, I just added over 1300 items to 5 lists so I can guarantee it works at least for Chrome, the controls are also working again without any workarounds so you can move up and down and delete without having to save and edit again after each change.
@pikahyper:Half the time the lists work on Mozilla Foxfire will save(after the one blank thing already mentioned of course). After that half the time it works half the time it doesn't. I was working on 3 lists this morning. And went to save them and the one with like 40 new items said "Sorry something has gone horribly wrong". The next which had 7 saved fine and had the "list updated" but when I looked at it none saved. Then I did the list with 10 and that had the same "list updated" but did save the progress.
EDIT: Apparently the Lists that said "list updated" did update which is nice. but still if your list is to big then it won't save.
@bluelantern1995: how many items is too big?
@pikahyperRight now it seems to be working fine. Maybe its when I'm working on multiple lists. Because when separate it works fine in excess to 40(did 44 in test). Will try doing the same thing again with simultaneous lists.
