Trying to move my fortifications and other icons around my map, but all I end up doing is moving the map itself around and the icons are not moving at all....anyone know how to correctly move them where I want them???

sounds like you are dragging the map. Just click on the thing to move, you should see a little balloon thing, then click where you want it to go and you should see another balloon. Wait a little and presto.

Nah, it's definitely broken. Maybe just in the latest FF though...

Also on KB, with FF and Chrome I cant select a country from the world map and view its homepage. Definitely something wrong.

Correction, the issue isnt world wide, just in one particular region I have found on KB.

We have not seen this problem despite a search on all the worlds.

If you encounter this problem, please give us the name of the country, world and the browser you are using.

Country: Payaso. World: Kebir Blue | Centura Donna | Mercury Mundo. Browser Firefox, Google Chrome and/or IE.

When I move the cursor over a country in that region, no info shows up.

Ok it appears that Chrome is the culprit...it seems that you cannot move objects while using this web browser and going back to IE will work better.

One thing I did note is that objects tend to bounce back to original location way too often when you are moving them making this process very annoying. Also, it seems that once you move towns/cities etc the roads do not seem to map themselves to the new locations very well.

@Dyna,

Moving objects in Chrome works fine for me.
Maybe the country is in war? During war you are
not allowed to move objects.

Objects bounce back when dragged to an illegal
location. Often outside your country.

When moving objects, roads are not updated immediately or otherwise they would be updated many times when you move many objects.
however, under the maps option, there is a specific function to redraw the roads.
once you are done moving objects, you can use that function and the roads will be updated.

you can also choose to paint more roads, or only a small percentage of the roads you have to prevent the country from being covered with roads and railways.
