You know the banner-like signs that hang outside towns on signposts like http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/953/exampler.png. When I move them in the CS they appear to have moved, but when I save my plugin and load it in game only the sign post has moved, the actual banner is where it was to begin with even though it's moved in the CS. How can I get the banner to move to where I need it to be?

Sounds like you're just using a Save file that needs to be updated...
Clean/Update your Save File with Wrye Mash before testing the game after you've made changes. Or start a New Game.

Thos flapping signs and banners are Activators, not Statics, and therefore more likely to have thier references stored (ie. remembered) by your Saved game.

Ah, that would be it. I was using an old save since the character was near my test location. I knew there was a fairly simple explanation but for the life of me I couldn't remember it. Thanks!
