I have to agree with many of the other posts about the belt system being messed up. This morning at 6:30 I harvested 3 farms. The first was rice and I posted for my black belt. Then I posted the black belt in wheat for 840 wheat bonus. I had 2 people click it and I hit my limit for the 3 hrs. I wasn't able to get any rice. I waited till 2 in the afternoon and went to harvest 5 more farms of wheat. The original post for belts stated "For example, when you reach the Black Belt for Wheat, from that point on when you harvest wheat there will be a 36% chance of getting an extra box of Wheat." I never received a new pop up to post nor did I receive anything saying I received a bonus for being a black belt. I should hope that with a 36% chance of getting a bonus that I would get AT LEAST a few extra boxes for over 5000 harvests. I really don't see the point of a bonus system if it only works once and for only 30 seconds because you hit your limit in 2 clicks.

I have the floating text turned off so not sure if it will float up that way when you get an extra box but they are added to your storage. Next time you harvest a crop look at the number you have in storage, take note of the number of fields you have, either harvest the fields or hire it out, then look at the number you have in storage now. You should see more and if you do the math it will be at the percentages you are at for extra boxes. This is like the 20% more you get for harvesting for someone there was an extra box that would float up when you got it and it was added to your storage but that was it you wouldn't get a pop up saying you just got an extra box.

If im 314 away from 1st degree, then that should place me at 2, not 7.
besides there are only 6 dans--- not 7

The black belt is the 7th belt you can earn, the dan belts are something new added to the game and I don't know how they will look in your store once you get them.

If you are using IE 8 or later, fire fox, or chrome you have tabs in your window. You can open different tabs in the same window so you don't have 5 different windows open at one time. To close a tab click on the x for that tab. This really comes in handy. Now when you come on a bonus you want to click on if you left click it opens in that tab, but if you right click on it you can open it in a different tab by choosing open in new tab. This is really handy for getting bonus like I said in my other post. Now if you have fire fox or chrome you can download an ad on called right links that will open links in a new tab just by right clicking on them. Also another handy ad on is New tabs at the end this ad on will open new tabs on the right of the tabs open now instead of the next tab over from where you are working. I don't know if these ad ons are available for IE because I don't use IE anymore.

How are we going to know what Dan we are at? Is this going to be indicated some way like 7.1, 7.2, etc.?

For the additional crop see above, on the dan belts I don't know but I am sure we will soon see.
