Series (Beta) getting server errors.

[ChristopherDB]

I have existing stories posted, which are part of a series and want to get them organized as such with the new Beta Series feature. I click 'new series', fill out the required series name and description. The fields for choosing story order are grayed out, though I could add a photo if I wanted. I click 'create series' and about 30 seconds later I get the message 'server error'. Have tried several times over several days. Please advise. Thanks.

I was able to solve this. Had to use Google Chrome as the browser when logging in.

Unfortunately, I'm having nearly the exact same problem in 2024. I tried using Google Chrome (as well as two other browsers) and in each case, I get errors (not the server error of OP) and a dead end. My steps:

I sign in.

I go to /my/#/series/stories

I click 'New Story Series'

I fill in the fields (Series Title, etc. including cover image). Note: I too am unable to select/change the radio buttons for Sort Order and 'Is series completed?' These fields are greyed-out.

(On this page, there is no apparent way to specify what stories should be in the series.)

I click 'Create Series'

The page updates with the messages:

'Failure to create series'

and

'Unknown creation error. Notify a moderator'
