I cannot add featured or special products from the admin. Please can someone help with this.

When I go to Catalog|Featured Products the selection box is greyed out the only available options are the date options.

I initially thought this was due to me setting the shop as showcase only but putting it back to normal store makes no difference.

I believe this has been broken for several weeks now and I have made extensive mods since because all my backups include the proble.

Thanks
Roy
