Answer hub not posting, no error

I just tried to ask a question with the answer hub. I put in tags that didn’t exist, and I don’t have enough reputation to create new ones. It told me this, and I was able to correct my post.

It also cleared the section that I wished to post in, but didn’t tell me, so I didn’t notice. After fixing my tags, and trying to post, it brought me back to the post screen, without any errors. I could not tell what I needed to do, without going through everything, in order to post.

When I tried to post without having a section selected, it did not error. Is this behavior desirable, or is this a bug?

Hi ara.

Sorry for the challenges.

  • “I put in tags that didn’t exist, and I don’t have enough reputation to create new ones.”. This is intentional. We used to have spammers who created thousands of bad tags, so this was set in place to stop them.
  • “It also cleared the section that I wished to post in, but didn’t tell me, so I didn’t notice. After fixing my tags, and trying to post, it brought me back to the post screen, without any errors.” This is not intentional. We’ll try to get this fixed in the future.

Thanks
