When i found out one of my missions had a broken link, i went to edit mission to fix it. When i pressed "test" it correctly loaded the first page of the mission but did not show the mission box in the corner. Later, when i was trying to create a mission, i had the same problem. Any ideas? |

I have the same problem. The pages load correct. but the mission-text never appears. |

Does the link have a # in it or embedded flash? That might be the problem; I've run into that issue lots of times. You may just need to put it as a sidenote in one of your other lightposts. post the specific link here; maybe someone better at this stuff than me can figure out what the problem is. |

Just tested my older (and till yesterday still working) missions. The textbox dissappeared from all of them!

Mission making and mission taking now work normal again. |

@Itheman If you encounter the 'Sorry! Something went wrong!' note again, just back up and hit 'Complete' until the mission finishes correctly...you may have to do this a few times. |

ya it's working fine now though probably around when meraxes said it was so i didn't get the sorry message. But thank you everyone! |

Rather than start a new thread with a related item, I thought I'd re-jig this one... I just had to edit my mission 'Train to Skaville', due to a dead link. I took out the dud and put in a couple of new ones and now I have a nice shiny ska mission once more. Only... why do I have 3 lesser versions of it in my 'drafts' folder? I would just delete them, but I've had enough hassles with the main mission without somehow affecting it this way.

I'm having a different mission error. When I go to edit my Popcorn mission, the lightpost text all shows correctly, but when I test the mission, the second-to-last post shows the wrong caption, one I've tried to edit out about five times now. When I wanted to add a lightpost, I put it in, went to test, and spent five minutes infinite-looping on the last post (which was not the one I added). Any thoughts? |

@spikeyboy: They should go away eventually. @sylverling: It might just be a cache issue. How long have you tried waiting it out to see if once it is published it is actually showing the correct text? |

Cheers - I'll give it a few days. |

About five minutes. Heh. I'll check it in an hour or two from the other computer. |

I'm also having a ton of troubles editing my mission: "music on the edge of copyright." It seems to skip links, or loop back to previous links. When I finally get to then end, it says "something went wrong." :-( |

@Mzed Try just backing up and hitting 'Complete' again...that should fix it.
If editing, and then waiting to test don't work, please come back and let us know. If it does work, also let us know! |

Oh yeah. Mine's working now. |

@pixielo I eventually mashed the mission through as suggested, but in a different lightpost order than I wanted. However I just edited it again this morning, to put it in the order I want, and I am in the situation where I hit a link that loops back on itself. So, I can't finish it. |

I also have a lightpost description that seems to revert back to its saved state no matter how many times I edit it - and I've been trying for several days now. update: the edit seems to have worked after the update; let's see if it sticks or if it'll revert back again tomorrow |

0.419 seems to have fixed my problems. Thanks. |

Oh, I have a problem with my mission named "Introductions to Otakus and something they know". I cannot complete my mission. Now this mission is in the "draft" state. I've tried what pixielo suggest for a few days and it still don't work. You can try taking this mission here. Could you complete my mission? |

@t_man Please remove the /take from your link. It will make it easier for people to try and take your mission... |

Okay... The /take is now removed from the above URL. Now it'll take you to the first page of that mission. |

Is it still in 'draft' phase? You may need to republish it before anyone can take it without incurring a server error. |
