OK this first happened to me a few weeks back but I really want to know if it's something *I* did to stop it happening again.

I bought a prefab house for my piece of land - placed it, positioned it and started putting things inside - While I was positioning a sofa or something I managed to move a piece of the floor instead - tried putting it back, then carried on...this happened again with a window a few mins later. This time I could not get it back in the exact same place again so the whole front of the house looked like crap. I could not relink the pieces, I got some message about not having "permission"

So in the end I trashed the house and bought another one. The SAME thing happened again but this time I managed to save the house from being trashed by running round and locking all the pieces down so they could not be moved. Finished decorating and lived there happily until the time came that my neighbour wanted to swop my parcel for the one next to it so she could have adjoining parcels. We did the swop and when it came to my clearing out my stuff so I could move it over I tried relinking the pieces of my house but again, got the message about not having permission. I tried unlocking all the pieces which all started to move about as I was going round selecting them to link (What is up with this? I am just using Alt and the directional buttons to get the right angle...why does this cause pieces of house to move around? After unlocking everything I tried to relink again...Got the same message about not having permission.

So house is basically trashed again.

So this is two houses I have lost now, which cost me in total abou $750L. I just want to know whether this is something I did, that caused the pieces to unlink themselves? I asked a friend if there were a keyboard shortcut to make a linked prim delink itself and he said it was ctrl shift and U, which I dont see how I could have done just while moving furniture with the mouse and pressing Alt and directional buttons.

Any help would be appreciated
