So I created a mission. I tested it. I decided that I wanted the fifth link to be the second instead. Went back and edited. Drag and drop, all went well. Re-tested. Um. Still in same order. Back to edit, links had gone back to original order. Changed again. Tested again. Same result.

Either there's some "save" command that I'm overlooking, or else the mission edit isn't working after you test. Sigh.

Same here. My mission text didn't come up on one page, so I went back and edited out that page. On re-testing, it was still there. You can even change the text and it doesn't change. Totally buggy!
'Twas a good mission, too...

I have this problem as well. I deleted a light-post on a wikipedia page that would display the wrong url (despite being the correct url when I created the light-post and when I check the urls from inside the Organize links page).

The main problem is when I go through the final test, it won't deleted the light-post which was not displaying correctly. It also would not move on. After an hour It no longer displays the next page option on the first page dialog box, it goes right to Complete Mission (despite having many more light-posts already set up).

At this point I'm out 13 light posts and 1 hour of time (just trying to format the mission). and it still won't run properly.

Be patient...missions will not update immediately...
Leave at least 20 or 30 minutes to allow the servers to update...
I tend to wait overnight...

I also had this problem when I created this mission called Retro-spective. The fourth link in didn't work (the mission box wouldn't appear), so I removed it. When I test the mission now, this link still appears, even though I removed it. In its current state, it makes the mission impossible to complete. pixielo's reply makes me hopeful that all will be well, though. Thanks!

Waiting overnight didn't help, so I just created a new mission using my old lightposts and deleted the first one.

@Grilibo6 Yeah, I've had to do the same thing. It seems that when the site went live on Monday, a few things got complimicated...

I created a mission yesterday, published it, found some typos, edited the lightpost descriptions, but the mission is still showing the original descriptions. Edited the lightposts themselves, the changes are there. How long does it take for updates to appear? It's been over twelve hours for me.

How long do we need to wait before we're sure the mission is fubar. I just wound up deleting a re-adding a lightpost because no matter how often I fixed it, the change to the description would not update (it *was* showing as updated on the other lightposts I fixed). Now, when I test, I get two lightposts in and get the "Complete Mission" pupup! I've given it twenty minutes, but... I do have places to go today and had wanted to get the corrected mission back up.

I had a problem with not being able to drag-n-drop them... I ended up deleting all posts in the mission before the one I wanted to move up, and replacing them after it.

@nieman - when you run into that one, try refreshing the screen. Sometimes that clears up the dragging issue.

OMG Karmakaze you are a fricken genius! Thank you so much that drag and drop editing thing has caused me so much trouble - usually ending in me deleted entire mission and starting over. Please tell the developers!

I can't drag-and-drop, either. It just highlights all the text. I've tried clicking on all different parts of it, too - the little lightpost icon, the link text, the description, the spaces between them - nothing.
