MO won't let me uncheck mods or sort by priority

[Piranhaha]

I have MO 1.3.8 installed and until yesterday it was working great. All of a sudden it bugged out and now I'm wrestling with it. The main problem is that it randomly won't let me uncheck mods. If I have the list of mods in front of me, I can uncheck some of them and the checkmark goes away, but when I click on the other checkboxes absolutely nothing happens in response. The mods that behave this way are random; for instance, I performed the following:

 

1. clicked on Deadly Dragons checkbox - no response

2. Restarted MO

3.  clicked on Deadly Dragons checkbox - no response

4. Restarted MO

5.  clicked on Deadly Dragons checkbox - this time the checkmark went away.

 

So I really have to wrestle with it to turn mods on and off. Additionally, MO now refuses to sort by priority; it's always priority within the context of categories, the order of which seems to be locked. An example is shown here:

 

 

When I launch MO, the console reports the following (no idea if this is relevant):

I've tried downloading and reinstalling MO over top of the existing installation and it didn't help. What other troubleshooting steps should I try?

In the dropdown under the left panel, change Categories to No Groups. 

 

Quick Tip: Anytime there is a green or red outline around the left panel you have some kind of filter or category setting On. 

[Piranhaha]

Thanks! I actually just came back to this thread to report I found the other thread about categories and the tip worked. I can't believe you answered so quickly :).

 

I don't know if this behavior is intentional or not, but now that I have the dropdown menu set to "no categories", I'm no longer having the unchecking issue. Perhaps this is a bug?

No, not a bug.

 

About your log being filled with 'cannot resolve' references. The most likely candidate is somewhere on your system is some software that uses OpenSSL. You will need to go to https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html and install the Win32 Open SSL v1.0.2a Light package.

 

This is related to the third last question in the FAQ on the MO description page.

No, not a bug.

Is that also the reason that the nexus won't register your downloads with MO, so you can endorse and vote for mods?

[GrantSP]

No, it is 99% of the time a case of the 'webcache' folder needing to be cleared.

All calls to the Nexus api regarding 'endorsements, download status, login, etc.' are cached there and at times there is an issue with refreshing it.
