Setting a lightpost to a url that includes an internal anchor, such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fib... breaks the mission. For whatever reason the pmog pop up that should appear never does. I tried to use such urls in a couple of my missions, noticed they didn't work, and edited them out, assuming it was me, but now I have seen it in someone else's mission as well. (myseteryjones' 'Quirky Math Equations...' mission, to be exact).

Has anyone else noticed this?

That is what I mean, though it seems possible to go to the page if the url of the lightpost is set to the 'top' of the page. wiki.org/article would work fine, but if you wanted to direct someone to a specific *part* of the article, i.e., wiki.org/article#part_2 it doesn't seem to work.

It's too bad. It feels really awkward to me to leave instructions to scroll down or look at this or that particular part of the page on the lightpost... Perhaps this is something that can be fixed?

This has been brought up a number of times on here; as soon as we have searchable forums, they should totally be merged.
In any case, when you want your address to look like this:
/wiki/Your_Topic(2008 film)

Wikipedia sets an address like this:
/wiki/Your_Topic%282008_film%29

Which freaks out the PMOG code. Many of the Wiki address can be set in the plain English version just fine if you can't set a lightpost on the Wiki version. So, I've just been typing them into the New Mission Generator in the English version and this sets the lightpost perfectly.
I think the # in the Fibonacci address did the same thing. It must be some type of operator that PMOG doesn't understand.

Did this clear anything up? : )
