Topic: Troubleshooting and Bug Reports / Can't move list items

Hi- I’m able to move items on the page in your screenshot without any trouble (Firefox 2.0.0.14 on OS X). It’s possible one or more of your plugins is interfering with Backpack’s JavaScript. Could you try disabling the plugins?

If that doesn’t work, please send an email to support at backpackit.com. It’s difficult to troubleshoot problems like these on the forums.

Everything’s working fine here in Firefox. Perhaps you have an extension installed that’s misbehaving?

If disabling your extensions doesn’t help, please email support@backpackit.com – it’s difficult to troubleshoot these types of problems on the forum.

Unfortunately we’re only able to support drag and drop in the Backpack Calendar in Firefox and Safari at this time. If you’re using Internet Explorer you’ll need to edit the event and change its date manually.
