I have a mission in which a URL has gone dead recently, and I would need to change the URL of the lightpost to keep the mission alive and interesting.

I tried going to my profile, then "Edit Lightposts", but the URL box is greyed out and is says "cannot be changed".

Does that mean a mission is bound to die the instant a single lightpost's URL in the mission dies?

Go to your mission
Click on "Edit mission"
you can delete the problem lightpost, or you can add in another. you can't edit that particular lightpost, but you can drop another elsewhere or remove the dead link.

Hope that helps :)

I'm having difficulty selecting light posts in my mission creation list so that I can drag them around, and change the order. I can see the crosshairs, but when I left click and drag a link to a new location in the list, all it does is highlight the entire list as though I was trying to select text. Is there a specific point/position in the list that I need to click on to be able to drag a link to a new location in the list?
I'm posting in this thread because my trouble was caused when then second link in my list failed to work. So I deleted that entry and created a new link at the bottom; but I can't drag it to the second position in the list. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Refresh the page, drag and drop, refresh the page again, then test mission.

@mmmpi Thank you. That worked perfectly.
I imagine that technique is explained somewhere and I'm just too noob to see it. If not, it should be added right on the mission builder page where it says "Arrange Lightposts
Click and Drag, Add a Description."

Appreciate the assistance. :)

Or...you can hit 'Proceed to Step 3' and then back up...whatever you find to work the best...
Try clicking to the right as well--just make sure that you hit the link and not the text portion.
