I've been clawing my face for ever now trying to get the /rotate command to work. What was the change they made to it? It used to work as /rotate right 5, now it no longer accepts that. It now askes for /rotateFurniture LEFT/RIGHT degrees... but even in that format it doesn't work.
What's the secret handshake?

my char jongasher tends to be unable to use the up command on items and so i tend to bring in my char jingasher to move items around. I think youre char is bugged the same way mine is.

Yeah.. it used to work for me too, and then one day it just stopped working. I didn't change my macros.. it just stopped working. This is pissing me off.

I had that problem with /move up 50. The program kept saying that it was the improper format. I tried /moveFurniture up 50 and it still wouldn't work...Finally (don't remember why I tried this) I tried /move up up 50 and it worked fine. In this case, perhaps you might try /rotate right right 45 or whatever degrees you want. No guarentees, but if it's a similar error as mine, perhaps a similar solution might work.

It has been rumored that when this happens if you will do a /rotateFurniture left left 5 that it will work. Mine does this from time to time on the UP command as well, but the next day it will work normally, I have yet to try the double direction in the command as it hasn't happen since i heard about it.

Are there any items in the building with names starting with "right..." or "left..." ? The command could be getting confused with an item named like that. Just a guess.
I've also seen some glitches with these move commands. Like it seems that the up command doesn't like to work if you're in the hall a small generic house (dunno which style). I've tried to drop paintings in the same spot on a couple different houses on different servers and move up didn't work at all, though it did work in other spots in the same house.
Also some objects will interfere with move commands. Like if there is a vendor in the way or if there is a big item like a statue. Stuff like statues have a large footprint that you can't see which can interfer with manipulating objects in your house.

What really annoys me is that theaxis of rotation on some furniture is not centered on the furniture. A good example is the new Tatooine Tapestry. The center of rotation is way off to the side somewhere so it makes it hard to decorate a house sometimes.
