By any chance did one of your text blocks end up longer then the allowed amount when you went back in? I had a situation today where I had some text blocks pop the seam because I pressed enter (counting as 1 character) during initial entry, but after publishing and going back in they had converted to "<br>" (counting as 4 characters). This produced some odd validity results...

I just had this happen with one of mine. I loaded it, went through all the text boxes and settings, no errors. I went through all of the custom mobs (including 'continue' at the end to re-save them), no errors. Reloaded my mission, no errors. Republished. Still had the orange ? on the browser screen.
I also did some other editing while I was there, but the ? didn't go away until I did a search for 1481 and clicked on Browse, My Creations, back-and-forth-etc. I think the fact the ? didn't go away right away is because the Browser seems to read only from a cache until something makes it reload.
It could be that all I had to do is reload it and republish to correct whatever settings went wrong...

I specifically checked for this one even before I published it for the first time, so no. I encountered that problem in Test anyway, so I knew not to repeat that mistake (and always leave a buffer for the character limits).

Do you have any custom groups or critters with the same name as something already in the game? That can cause problems sometimes.

Not that I can think of. Then again, it's entirely possible that I've overlooked something incredibly obvious. How do I check if there's an error in the custom critters, if none of them seem to have any problems highlighted, and all save-without-changes go through?
My custom critter names, alphabetically:
Anger
Caller
Forbidden
Forsaken
Hunter
Jealousy
Melancholia
Seeker
Sparker
Contact is "Terrance Davis", two other characters named "Annabelle Davis" and "Poe". The main possible problem I can see is that these are very common words, and I could honestly have overlooked something.
Which doesn't really explain why the arc managed to go through without errors in the first place, or why republishing fixes it, albeit temporarily.

So does anyone have any idea at all what is going on here?

If you've gone through all of your custom characters (if any) and then through all of the text boxes/options in your mission, and saved/republished it all... Time for a support ticket.

I remember another thread about this somewhere, but I forgot which I14 subforum it was in.
I've been hit by what seems to be a bug where a published arc listed in the My Published Arcs page will have that big "Invalid Arc" sign and huge letters telling me that something in the arc is no longer acceptable. But when I go in to edit, I see no errors.
In fact, I can even Save And Test the arc, and everything goes well. (While in Save And Test, the arc still has the Invalid Arc warning, even after refreshing the My Published Arcs page.) Republishing without changes may remove that Invalid Arc warning (or it may not), but it comes back anyway, due to... something. I don't know what.
This does not seem to be happening to solely to me; I've seen reports of this in various threads and posts, as well as in global channels.
The questions foremost in my mind are: what is happening here, and do the devs know about this?
