I am having this problem where the next little PMOG tooltip thing doesn't pop up. It happens during this mission: http://pmog.com/missions/are_you...

It would seem that what happens is that the next tooltip popup thing is set to appear on the website:http://www.dofus-arena.com except that the site immediately redirects to http://www.dofus-arena.com/en and the popup never appears. Is there anything I can do?

Okay, I will, but in the mean time, is there a way to cancel the mission? I'm sort stuck and any site I visit on the list(long mission...) bring it up. If someone who took the mission could tell me the last link, would I be able to finish it?

I took the mission, got stuck where you did, and went to the mission maker's profile to leave him a note...and the last pop-up was there...he completed the mission on his profile.
However, you can't finish without hitting all the pages, so I just hit previous until I got back to the DragonRunner page (where it stops again because s/he put a . after .com) and then I hit 'Complete' from their profile.
It's done! And I also sent them a PMail to check their links a little closer, I suspect that more than a few of the mission takers just guessed in order to finish...

It's really an issue with the way the Internet works, not PMOG.

Lightposts go on the exact webpage you as a mission creator choose. If you choose the standard url, but you know it always redirects to, say /en or /us, etc. It will be your responsibility as the mission creator to take this into consideration.

A lot of NY Times articles break missions because people do not use the permalink, and assume people have subscriptions to the site.

I know you're not the creator, but for any mission creators reading this, please try to exercise a little caution in linking to redirecting sites.
