Newbie needing a little help with an odd problem...

For some reason when I try to enter in my favorite anime in my profile I can only use certain numbers for positions 1-10. Two of those numbers I have found I can't use so far are 4 and 7. Whenever I tick the checkbox to select the anime name that is a favorite and type in the number just as I did with the other numbers on my list I get the following error message: "Error placing "Spiral". No position given.
Error placing "Stellvia of the Universe". No position given.". Which is singularly ridiculous because I know very well that I typed in the aforementioned numbers. I did not repeat a number, nor did I repeat an anime selection. As far as I can tell I've done everything correctly yet it still gives me this message. *note* I also received the same error message when trying to selectt "dbz all" from the list attempting to put it in position "7".

If I'm doing something incorrectly, please let me know!
Thanks!

It's probably the anime you're choosing, not the number. Try placing those anime (Spiral, dbz, and the other one you mentioned) in another number spot - chances are you can't. This is a known problem that can't be fixed (easily, if ever).

The problem is a while back they fixed the anime listing so there weren't false names and repeats. Now, none of those 'changed' anime titles will work properly. There are a lot of them, but the common ones are Inu Yasha, any of the DBZ titles, the Rurouni Kenshin (including the ovas), etc - anything that was falsely named at one time is now a bad anime to try adding to your list.

You can try adding these anime to your list and then *moving* them to the spot you want, by placing a different anime in front of it. This works sometimes if you already had the anime on your list before they changed the listings. If you're new to the site, you may not be able to add these anime at all.

If you're interested, there are a few other posts about this problem - just flip back a few pages in the 'Site Help' section.

It can be fixed, and it will be someday....
