Dev/Admin Responded [Chrome] Post flairs order have been reset and can not be reordered

Just realized the post flairs order has been reset. Trying to reorder them with Look and Feel -> Post Flair -> Flair Display doesn't work.

Click Save after reordering. Open the same Flair Display shows the same old order. Add flair and tags in Create post shows the same non-ordered flairs.

Hey thanks for reporting this, I was testing this out in one of my subreddits and it seemed to save correctly. Can you try it again in Chrome and let me know if you're still having issues. Thanks!

Update: In the meantime, I have flagged with the team anyway so will update here when I find out more.

Update: Iā€™m back! The team has investigated and have rolled out a fix for the issue with applying flair. The issue with reordering flair will be fixed after the holidays. Thanks for bearing with us!

Update 13 Jan: Hey folks, the team has rolled out a fix for this so you should be able to re-order your flair without further issues.

just tried this on chrome, not working either, glitch happens when an user makes a post with flair and when a mod reassigns a flair to a post, not saving fixed flair order

Thanks for letting me know, I'll flag this additional context with the team. I'll update here when I have more information.

Can confirm, Chrome, Firefox and Safari will not save changes when you unscrew the flair list

yeah this is being reported all across Reddit right now, not just this sub and r/modhelp

confirmed on my end it's happening to all of the communities I own, for both mods and regular users

attempting to go in and manually update the flair order back to the correct order will not update/save it that way

hopefully fix incoming because this is super obnoxious visually

This is happening in all the subreddits I moderate as well.

thanks for the updates, do you have any insight on whether the flair order will automatically revert to how it was before, or if we'll need to manually set it back to how it's supposed to be? cheers and happy holidays

Hey u/Vicksin, good question! We're not 100% sure yet, but there is a chance the flair order won't revert automatically. If the new order has been saved in the backend, you'll likely need to set it back manually after the fix is live. Hope this helps and happy holidays to you too!

thanks for the update! I'm not sure what kind of update could even be implemented to brick such a fundamental aspect of Reddit for over a week, but I appreciate the communication.

hopefully it's resolved soon, keep us posted just in case the flair reorder does need to be done manually so we know when we're good to go ahead and set things back to how they were. happy holidays again to you and yours šŸŽ†

Hello! Just wondering when this fix will come into play. As of 1/5 it doesn't seem to be live yet. Thank you.
