I was just placing 2 lightposts on wikipedia, they were taken away from my total count, but were not placed properly, I had to re-place them. I'm sad because this means I lose even MORE lightposts :(

The way the Wikipedia 'remembers' addresses can look like this:
/wiki/Star_Trek Correct? Yes.

And they can also look like this:
/wiki/Star_Trek_(2008 film) Yes?

And then...the parsing kicks in that PMOG does NOT recognize:
/wiki/Star_Trek_%28film%29

You can type in the address in the 'add a lightpost' section with the parentheses intact, PMOG will recognize it, the Wiki will recognize it and all will be well. There is another topic that addresses this issue, let me see if I can find it again.

Cheers.

This is where the 'disappearing lightposts' topic started; see if it sounds like your problem, or if the fix I outlined above works.

Cheers!

I am having this same problem with wiki, but there are no % or parenthesis on the address. Just hash marks /

What to do?

Okay, that's just weird! Were you having any other problems with the Toolbar? Was Pmog down? I use this whenever I get a 'bug' I can't explain: http://www.downforeveryoneorjust...
