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 ?

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.

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.
