Hosted counters

By mauxdette, in Android: Netrunner Rules Questions

Need some help with this. Do you need to use a click to move a hosted counter to another card from the host? And if not when can you move it?

For example NBN Agenda Astroscript Pilot Program Hosted Agenda Counter : Place 1 advancement token on a card that can be advanced.

Thanks

Edit: Answered below.

You only need to use a click if the click symbol appears as part of the cost. If there is no click symbol (such as the example you used), then it is simply a paid ability and can be used at any time paid abilities are allowed (according to the Timing diagrams at the back of the rules / FAQ).

I concur with what Butaman551 said. (just want to get rid of the new status of this thread by replying it)

Heh, I was just about to do the same. :)

OK, really dumb question - isn't that what the "Mark forum as read" button at the top of the Forums pages does?

You would think so. But there's a bug that occurs when somebody edits their reply and re-submits it after another person has posted a new reply in the meantime, causing the thread to remain marked as unread despite the use of the "mark as read" button. Posting another reply to the same thread corrects the issue.
