I reinstalled OT2013 EoD onto another machine. It was a clean install and I did not transfer any data or settings from one machine to another. I now cannot seem to activate the "Floor Pivot (All Levels,0)", or the indicator ""Floor Pivot Daily (All Levels,0)" indicator. When selecting them nothing happens.

The most recent release of OT2013 has a KNOWN BUG in it that affects ALL OMNILANGUAGE CODE which uses the plottrendline or plotpricetrendline commands (including the pivot functions).
This has been documented and reported and it's been passed on to management.
IMHO this is a critical bug that must be addressed immediately since the 2S release "broke" something that was working fine in the prior release, and since it affects hundreds+ of OLang routines and probably hundreds+ of users.
I was told that it had been reported but when I asked (twice) for a likely fix date (one day, one week, one month, one year), no reply was given.
Please Nirvana, take this one seriously ... especially since the "kinks" in 2014 are still being ironed out.
Thank you!

Thank you Jim. Do you think it will be worth while installing the previous release? Will that be possible, considering that I'm already on 2S?

Since N gave no dates, my fear is that this will be delayed a long time.
So, either go back to 2Q (total reinstall from scratch, including plugins, then upgrade to 2Q, then add your custom stuff),
or
Use 2012 (that's what I'm doing for devel work for now),
or
Use 2014 and be patient with the normal "early release status" situation.
Since I maintain six variations of each year's OT on my machine, for various purposes, controlled by batch files, etc ... to go backwards to 2Q, for me, would take the better part of two days. That's why I'm using 2012 in the interim.
If N would provide an ETA for the fix, I could make a more appropriate decision.
The gotcha re 2S vs 2Q for 2013 is that you need 2S for the right holidays. Supposedly that is all that was changed ... but obviously some other stuff was done, or OLang routines would not have been affected.
If I seem a bit perturbed about this, it is not due to the presence of a bug ... or even that the bug was created by N in a release ... but rather that no response was provided regarding likely ETA of fix.

I just called Nirvana about this again. Thad was very helpful ... he went and found the developer that this was assigned to, and was told that it would likely be fixed within one week.
So, presumably there will be a "2T" release for 2013 where the plottrendlines will once again function correctly.
Thanks, Thad!

We'll have a new build with the fix today or tomorrow.

Fantastic. I was going to reinstall this weekend and I was not looking forward to it.

2T is live now with the fix. The release notes still show 2S until I can get someone to update the page.

Thanks. I've downloaded it and it does fix the issue.
