Just as the title says, I cant submit my question because it wont accept it without a UE version tag, and the search doesn’t find any, even when I try to manually enter UE4-27.

I have the same. I have to delete the question tag in order to be allowed to post.

There. Are. No. Version. Tags.

This is a repeat of what I posted in my thread about this issue. This exact sequence now works for me every time. The version tags seem never to be available as the first tag you select in the right hand tag box. Something else has to be selected first, preferably something that identifies your question category.

I’m going to try and be more explicit how I solved this for myself and hopefully help others since they continue to run into this. The sequence I have to use to avoid the version tag problem seems to be fairly rigid.

  1. Click the post topic, select Question
  2. Fill out your subject
  3. Fill out the question including uploading stuff (screen shots, documents etc)
  4. Click the Right Hand plus box. By default, this box will say Question
  5. Select the topic for your question, such as MetaSounds
  6. Click the Right Hand plus box again. Locate the UE version in the resulting popup.
  7. Post your question

I will get the error about adding the version tag and be unable to select it until after I have done steps 4 and 5, but on doing those steps, the next time the Right Hand plus is pressed, all the versions will popup to be able to select.

If I deviate from this order, I will eventually start getting the permission error people have mentioned in this thread. If I deviate from this order, I won’t be able to select a version tag. The forum software seems to want to have a topic tag selected prior to showing the version tags.

I do nothing with Left Hand box. I assume it’s what the forum software needs to place the question in the correct major category and is not pertinent if the topic was started in the right category.

The above is all assumption but works for me. That is to say, there may be other more correct ways, but I can get questions in this way.

Please do away with this current iteration of the forum. Give us the old answers unreal page back. Give us the old forum back. This is a disaster.
