Cannot create a timeline

Creating timeline not possible due to the process being stuck in the "please wait, creating your timeline" box after hitting shift enter after naming the timeline. It also showed a red error message a few times saying "unable to create timeline". I have not been able to create one and have never created one before, what could be causing this? I have followed the steps in the guide.

Steps to Reproduce

Timelines --> +timeline--> name timeline --> shift + enter --> stuck at loading box

Operating System

Windows

Browser

Google Chrome

Hey AmritaGalol   Creating a timeline may take some time to create, but I can see that in your world Sahia you already have a timeline. Has this been resolved?

Bug has duplicate Unable to create timeline

I was having the same issue - exactly as AmritaGalol described. Endless loading, followed by a couple repeating red flags in the top right corner saying "Timeline was unable to be created". I tried four times. Then, I checked my timelines area of my world and the timelines HAD been created. I have 4 "World History" timelines now, one for each of the four times I tried "create new timeline". I think its just an issue with what message displays to the user once the process of creating a timeline completes. Thank you!

Mine was the same and is now resolved, I just didn't know where they appeared and assumed one had not been created due to the error message!

I am experiencing this problem myself with my attempts to make a timeline. As of now I've waited for a timeframe nearing 5-6 minutes with the box stuck on the "creating timeline, please wait" phase after entering a title for your new timeline and clicking shift+enter. I am unsure what is going on. I as of yet have been unable to make a timeline in my current world.

The waiting for response should be taken down.

Yeah, the bug is not fixed. I've been trying to make a single timeline following all the usual steps, but the second I hit "create", I get a pop-up "unlimited timelines only for the paid membership", timeline creation gets stuck in never-ending loading loop and I'm left with no timeline at all. I think for some reason the software thinks I already have multiple timelines created when I have 0 of them.
