Just noticed it looks like there's been a new update. Figured people could post problems/bugs all in one thread. Things I've noticed so far: -Can't loot crates (clicking on the big "Loot") just tries to reload page, the other links take you to the profile and crate description page. -"Queue" option on the new mission popup isn't clickable (assuming this is a future enhancement?) -What is the point of "deleting" a lightpost? I could see a use if by deleting, you are redeeming a lightpost (i.e. hitting delete removes that lightpost and adds one to your total). Otherwise, it seems like deleting has no benefit, other than decreasing the total number of lightposts you've ever laid. |

• When you've laid several hundred lightposts, deletion is a nice feature...

I've deployed several of my 97+ lightposts to pages that were either bugged or not correct. It doesn't cut down the size of my drop down box THAT much to go from 97 to 89 lightposts - however, if I could turn those 8 bum lightposts into ones in my inventory, I'd remove them in a second. However, I could see this being abused if it broke missions - maybe you're only allowed to delete lightposts that aren't currently in a mission? Plus, if you had a view that only showed lightposts that weren't in missions, it would really help you figure out what you still have to add to a mission. But sorry, this is going from a bug-reporting thread into a suggestion thread, which was not my intention. |

I agree, with the inability to check and see if a lightpost will even work on certain pages, it's a gamble of 40dp for the person who's going to drop it. Even if the website fits -all- of the criteria for a website that should work, sometimes they don't. I would rather -not- delete my lightposts as they do count towards the total I have laid, I would rather have the ability to "reclaim" them back if they have gone astray. Perhaps another menu that keeps track of lightposts that BELONG in a mission and can't be deleted, and another menu for lightposts that are not part of any mission and are "loose". This would really help keep track for people who are major mission makers and have 150+ lightposts floating around out there. Since the drop down menu does not sort them alphabetically this would help loads. |

Umm...I've found at least three crates all over here and the Misadventure forum. They seem completely random, and as stated previously, they are impossible to loot. Grr. |

Lightposts you have laid down do not persist with missions. If you delete it from your list, it won't break your mission |

Are missions working for folks? Last few I have taken that were working before now seem to be fubar'd.

Yes, I also can't loot all these crates on PMOG and elsewhere... QQ I wants to loots plz?! Also, I was on youtube and clicked to 'dismiss' a mission... and I got the same... running and scrolling bar that I got when I tried to loot a crate. BESIDES THAT... I adoooore the new text/graphics on the PMOG pop ups... so *thumbs up* to that |

I can't lay mines anymore because the extension claims that the page isn't loaded, even though it is! :( |

Just noticed the updates & am checking the new stuff out. The crate & other dialogs don't need to be any bigger than they were before & only adds clutter to the page, especially if there are more than one present. Seriously, do they really need to be that huge? It only goes to obscure more content of the related webpage. Also, I preferred the ability to peek at the contents without looting when there are several crates on a single page. It's a valuable option for those of us that store stuff on our profile. I do appreciate the ability to add descriptions to lightposts, and also to edit them within a mission. Being able to organize them alphabetically by description or title (if added) would be a stellar feature. Eliminating the difficult to see "read more" text box & expanding the orange dialog was a good idea, but may still be an issue in viewing page content if they can't be moved. Perhaps it could be "docked" in the corner but allowed to be moved freely if needed, much like Winamp can be set to snap to a screen edge or corner. |

and some missions are going to 404 or 500 when you complete them.. |

the 500 errors have reduced a lot. I was getting them all the time trying to browse the forums. I still can't loot crates or lay mines though. I also have updated... |

There is a new PMOG update out, so be sure you update PMOG. However, it does not help in the looting of crates or taking missions. I updated and am still stuck, but better to have it done and ready for when they do fix it. |

Not sure it's related to the latest update, but it's definitely a (minor) bug in the forum. The "permalink" misses the page count, so all pages repeat the same set of permalinks. |

I tripped a mine, which destroyed a fresh piece of armor (I don't know if they're supposed to take ~5 hits or if it's random up to 5). I clicked attach a St. Nick, but no notification came up. So I went to the person's profile, and they had max St. Nicks. So the message saying max attached is now gone, not sure about when it's successful yet. |

Also, I've been 'followed' around by several crates. Anyone else have this happen? |

Yup, but it seems to have stopped. |

I mined the null, which I had been doing this morning before the update. Null is when you click ctrl+T to open a blank tab. There are plenty of people who put crates and mission starters there, why shouldn't I mine it? In addition, people go there all the time. :) I put like 35 mines there and they were all gone within 5 minutes. Also, I don't understand why so many people get so angry about mines. It's another part of the game, sheesh. It would be no fun if it were just "hey do these missions to gain fame". |

Would you believe there's another new update out already? Two in one day! Update and enjoy, we'll keep it down to one a day in future :D |

I can't make a new mission! I get through the test phase, but when I hit "Complete Mission," it takes me back to the missions page and says "Something went wrong, sorry!" Edit: Well, I managed to create one but am still having the same problem. All that stands between me and level 6 is a silly button! Edit 2: After closing all other tabs, it worked. So if anyone has similar problems, check if you have any other PMOG tabs open that could be interfering. |

I'm currently having problems taking missions, during the mission the lightpost doesn't show up. Fro time to time i just need to go back to the previous page and click on next again. Most of the time however i'm just having to abandon(sp?) the mission altogether. |

Is this on quite new missions, phantomiec, or older ones..? The problem of link-rot is a big one in this game, and a lot of missions (created more than a few weeks ago) are now untakeable until their creator patches them up. If you try a mission that you see someone else has taken in the last day or two, that means it's more likely a game problem than a URL movement problem. I've had the problem with non-appearing lightposts with all the toolbars so far, FWIW, but only here and there, and none of them where I didn't suspect the liked-to website of evildoings. [Note: a "mission broken / please check mission" button would be very handy, since otherwise the only way to do it is to PM the creator. I'd attach a couple of DP to people reporting, too, since it's nice to make it easier for people to keep their missions up to date.] |

Still having trouble looting crates since the update (and I've reinstalled the toolbar). I've also had some trouble using tools -- like deploying lightposts. I thought the option to queue a mission was interesting, but it now seems to have disappeared, and I can't find anywhere to access my queue. |

@jocasta666 - I'm not sure why you think I'm trying to tell you how to browse the internet. We're just playing a game here. |
