I find that I try to drag and drop lightposts, but all that happens is that I select the intervening text. Very frustrating.

Weirdly, I seem to be able to drag sometimes when I go back and edit the mission, but not during initial creation.

What part of the overlay are you clicking on? I was having a little difficulty myself earlier, but once I clicked and held on either the lightpost in the upper left-most corner of the overlay and/or the blue url string, I was able to move it without further difficulty after a few hard drags down.

Yup, just grab the URL...to 'drop' the link, just move far to the right. You will 'drop' the Lightpost and all of its text w/o any problems.

Grabbing the URL still doesn't work for me. I wind up having to delete everything and put the links back in the right order by hand.

Same as you karmakaze, totally unable to reorganise the order of the lightposts.

When I test the mission and go back, THEN I can move them around, odd - then I repost it.

I've honestly never tried to do it during mission creation; I make my missions in a text editor, and then copy/paste everything in the correct order to begin with...

I've always been able to drag/drop them during the editing portion of mission creation, after they've been 'finished' and tested, but before publishing.
~•~
I think that because the mission hasn't been technically 'created' yet, that the drag/drop function isn't allowed. If you don't want to map everything out in a text file, just generate your mission first, and then edit...

Yeah, I do what you say too, pixie - I copy and paste the comments, but sometimes when I test the mission the lightposts go walkabout and I have to reorder.

But as kamrmakaze has said, I too have had issues with reordering in already created missions.

The comments etc just will not move at all, no matter where you grab them.

I was having the same problem with not being able to rearrange during mission creation, but I found that simply refreshing the page seemed to help. Any time I typed a description, or did just about anything else really, I refreshed, and was then able to rearrange to my heart's content. Hope that helps!
