Hi, try clearing your memory cache and deleting your macromedia files and see if that helps. There is info on doing this in the blue link below.

Thank you! I will try that.

Yes I have just started noticing that in the last few days....I took great pains re routing gifts and changing them into hens....then loading the new hens in my coops and half of them are gone.

Speaking of gifts...why do the hens and cows pictures get all jumbled up on the gift page listing? When it starts to do this, I notice that transferring them to the farm starts to slow down, and I have to go dump cache, temp files like every three animal placements. Quite maddening and very slow.

First, thank you for all the wonderful updates. Still waiting for sand cover and alternate views of some of the older facilities.

A couple of other things I have seen posted here I wanted to address. I am definitely all for a fill all button for facilities, as I have all that are available and it takes me probably an hour to two a day to fill depending on how many friends work them.

The storage issue. I see people all the time complain about things going missing, or storage being too full. Not including ingredients from my facilities, I have over 1.2 million of raw crops/flowers/fish in storage. The only time I ever get a notice of being full is if I empty all my facilities at once without having emptied for a couple weeks. I just don't understand all the complaining.

Next is all the begging for being able to harvest with one click. For pete's sakes this is a farming game. Don't plant so much if you don't want to click. I have 4 farms that are completely covered with trees. I can harvest all of them in under 15 minutes. I have 4 large coasts, 4 lakes, and 33 small sea coasts that I harvest alone.. It takes under 20 minutes. Yes I have the tools to do them and that's enough for me.

If you don't want to spend the time to do the work, don't create so much work. There is a difference between making a suggestion and whining because you want it ALL and are to lazy to earn what you get.

I cant find a post to post this to, so I guess Ill post it here....I have a very hard time finding threads, maybe some remedial instruction? Search does not work for me.

Anyway...I have a suggestion for the animals that go into sheds, coops sty's etc....when we receive them as a gift, it takes 6 clicks per animal to load it into the desired facility. The game started out with all the animals going straight onto the farm, there were no facilities to put them in. Now that there are, I would hope the default would be the animal goes straight into the shed on that farm. If we want to pull them out, we can do so.

Or maybe better yet...when we accept them as a gift, have a default in our tools list to place them on farm, or place then in a shed.

Something...anything to reduce the clicks! (My carpel is tunneling from all the clicking too! )

I appreciate all the Devs do...the game is basically a fun and relaxing experience. This is a beta game, and improvements should be welcomed, and I see a lot of ideas that started out as discussion on the forums come to fruition in the game.

Keep up the great works guys!

I have the same problem. The pictures of the animals get jumbled. I have to continually clear my cache when putting a lot of animals on the farm. Everything slows down. I'm more fortunate than you in that I can get out 20 animals before it drives me mad.

Once they're on the farm though, and I've cleared cache, everything is back to normal speed for putting them in the barn or coop.
