Taz - I used to test accounting software (general ledger and tax) so I apologize but I've already done those things multiple times. I thought originally it was related to my sprinkler (as I normally am on my first farm when I use it) but it is not. Most times it seems to pop up for a week or so after a new update then goes away ...... again an EASY work around. However, odd that I simply cannot replicate it and believe me many long insomniac nights, I have tried.
Thanks !!!!! This was more an FYI thing.
ETA: when the trees (never flowers or harvests knock wood) are available for harvest and I harvest them, then it goes away........ It's normally only a lag of 4-13 hours. Never more than a day. Again odd that I simply cannot replicate this and since it intrigues me, I have tried and tried.
ETA 2: It happens on multiple browsers (IE - back when I used it, Chrome and Firefox). All are up to date latest version.
