Hello,

after i edited some pages today, i wanted to add a new section to a discussion site. But the button "Add section" seems not working at all. I clicked it, but nothing happened. After i turned off the NWE i started to open the old editor and i could write my things down. So i think it is a problem with NWE.

Did you changed anything in the last hours? The problem didn't happened to me yesterday. Thanks for help.

Best.

Ok, I have tested it a few seconds ago on another machine and there is the same Problem. Nothing happens when I try to add a new section to a discussion site. I have tested it now with Chrome IE 7 on a Windows 10 Computer and a Windows 7 machine. This two ones does have a whole different configuration. So it has to be a Problem on wikimedia site and NWE.

Best.

you're right. You have to Show me how you're finding this things with an easy way. I tried it two times in my life and i didn't found anything :/

No problem, and thanks a lot for asking! There's a link on this feedback page on the right, "View open developer tasks". You can use keywords in the "contains words" field. This is one of the ways. Personally, I use keywords in Phab's search bar instead, and then restrict results by typing "2017w" in the Tags field (it will bring up the correct, long tag for the project).

Elitre finds things by magic, and she will never convince me othewise.
