I'm trying to create a VBO view that lets me change the Workflow state of nodes. As soon as I try to save the view, however, all the VBO settings disappear, and the Style reverts to "unformatted." Sometimes other settings from the view (filters, fields, etc) are lost as well, while other times they're preserved.

I've tried to rule out as many variables as possible -- trying other operations that don't involve workflow, working with a simple view that doesn't have any other filters -- but I can't get the VBO functionality to save. (Everything will show up just fine in the Live Preview, but it all disappears when the view itself is saved.)

There didn't seem to be any similar problems in the issue queue, and I've created a VBO view before, so I'm assuming there's a conflict with some other module/setting on this site. But any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or work around this would be much appreciated!

* Are non-VBO view types suffering from the same problem? If so, please check the Views issue queue.
* Is the default VBO at admin/content/node2 suffering from the same problem?
* Does the latest VBO dev release exhibit the same problem?
* Please make sure you're not inadvertently using 2 versions of VBO and/or Views.

Problem solved -- or at least identified.

The conflicting module seems to be Taxonomy Node Operations, which we'd pressed into service for some taxonomy cleanup. (VBO was trying to offer the option of adding all sorts of taxonomy terms to nodes -- and given that we have about 600 different terms!....)

When I turn that module off, VBO views work without a hitch.

Thanks for the suggestions on troubleshooting. Since Taxonomy Node Operations doesn't even have an real D6 version (see http://drupal.org/node/247456#comment-1014796), I'm closing this out.
