Sorry, long story ahead.

One of the missions I created long ago has some of its lightpost url changed from "pmog.com/blah" to "ext.pmog.com/blah".

It doesn't strike me as a problem until somebody comment saying one of the external site has changed, and the mission is broken.

I went to fix the link, and find myself stuck on last lightpost, which is now "ext.pmog.com/missions" instead of "pmog.com/missions".

if I try went through ext.pmog.com, pmog server would throw me a 500 error(ps: I have disabled noscript in advanced); then I tried pmog.com, a bit better, I saw numerous portals but no lightpost notes, not once.

"just keep refreshing", as I told myself this, a big red notice pop-up and said, "A server error occurred, and has been logged for inspection by the development team."

maybe is that third-party cookie thing ? I checked my firefox v3.0.1 config, turns out it was accepting third-party cookie all along.

So almighty forum, please tell me what's going on ? :(

further info:

the mission is http://pmog.com/missions/a_more_..., which is now, of course, stuck in drafts.

my browser is standard firefox 3.0.1, with latest(418) pmog toolbar, nothing fancy.

I meant no hate, just a little tired.

one more note:

the chance of lightpost notes NOT showing up is greatly increased since my last adventure, which is two months ago and firefox 3 wasn't even out yet. I wonder all this madness has to do with new firefox ? or simply a server thing.

As far as the wandering lightpost issue, I believe that a fix is in the tubes...but are pop-ups for other missions working for you too?

pop-ups works on other missions, but I can't seem to complete them.(yield 500 error, again, with noscript disabled)

Oh wait,

I removed noscript(latest 1.7.7) completely, and it seems to work now. Guess noscript is still a threat ;)

lightpost issue remains though, supposedly I am not alone in this ?

Eat some Pizza and have a Party...

@Gmpfree Nope! Not alone in this at all! = (

I just got two links changed in a mission of mine (again): http://pmog.com/missions/dni__co...
"tinselman.com/songs.php" became "tinselman.com/songs.php?show=36" and "www.mystonline.com" got changed into "ww.mystonline.com"

Unfortunately the Mystonline link now gives a server error and makes it impossible to complete the mission. I put a portal as a temporary patch, but the only real way to fix it is to edit the mission and switch the broken lightposts for new ones... which is kind of a shame, since any edit to the lightposts resets the rating to 3.

Actually it doesn't. It looks like it does, but it doesn't reset your rating. :-) Just give it a bit to catch up. I've edited several of my missions and republished and they've always stayed 4 stars.

Are you sure? I always thought they got back to 4 after receiving new ratings.

pretty sure, although someone who knows better is welcome to chime in here.

During my last convo with the illustrious burdenday on the subject, he mentioned that missions are now being published with the rating of the Missionater--which was a new one on me.

So now, it actually behooves one to be nice to others and maintain a high rating--since your new missions will get that rating.

After re-publishing, if your mission was 2 stars, it will still be 2 stars...
But...if you make a new mission, and you are a 4 star player, your mission will start at 4 stars.
