For users in higher levels instead of 1,000,000 this limit will be increased as follows:

Levels 100-199 -> 3,000,000 coins
Levels 200-299 -> 4,000,000 coins
Levels 300-399 -> 5,000,000 coins "

As this is worded, does this mean that we, at level 285, can get 4 mil of products valued in coins from ingredients postings AND another 4 mil from bonus' postings? If that is the case, then I have some serious doubts that the 'counters' are really working appropriately, as my amounts gained on ingredients have been severely curtailed by my prior amounts gained by the bonus', and am asking because it has occurred to me that perhaps this is a glitch that no one has noticed. I was an accountant for over 40 years and the coins just don't seem to be adding up right to me!

Thanks for your help with this issue.

I have clearly been getting 4,000,000 in each "bucket". Daily I try to click 1 request from each of my neighbors every 12 hours for each type, if they have posted a request. I will reach the "can you send me..." maximum very quickly almost every 12 hour period, but I am still able to receive the Belt/Dan bonuses even when I am maxed out on the "can you send me..." bonuses. I am sure that the 400,000,000 buckets are working correctly for me. And I am fairly certain that the build up to the max is also tracking correctly, for me. I will see where neighbors have helped my post, and have had 30-45 bonuses in my gift box almost daily, in addition to the ones I collect. And since I have only been posting "can you send me..." items that my neighbors can't work (crude oil, ingredients for Stainless and Copper), which are high value ingredients, given the cost I pay when I start them, it adds up fast on my end. I also only post the valuable belt bonuses like cheese, wool production items, sugar, crude, etc), I see many of them coming into my gift box as well. Still, 400,000,000 isn't that great, given the items I post and my neighbors send, when I also send many, many items daily that go directly to my storage.

I think the challenge we have is that we don't see the products we receive when we click our neighbors' bonuses in our gift box, so we forget that we have helped so many of our neighbors out.

Finally, I must say, that the rewards from Slashkey on the on-going increased yields is of far greater value, IMHO, to us as players than the 400,000,000 we received daily from the belt/dan posts. I keep that in mind, when there is something I would really like to collect from my FB wall, but have reached the max for the type of bonus.

I post mine, and no one works them...I have many, many neighbors, and it seems like they are losing interest.....is anyone else having the same experience? I think lots of people are getting bored or losing interest, and I love FT and hate to see that happen....am I posting at the wrong time or something? I either post in the am or late in the evening, and still no one is working them.....they used to work them all of the time, now very seldom.......

I think the problem is that with the FB layout they arent seeing the posts. I copy and paste a message to friends I know work for me and I also use the link that Molly Mew posted (look under Help and Support and "Facebook changes to Newsfeed). It works for me and I sent it to all my neighbours via a private message. I hope this helps.

Alot of my friends and neighbors are using that thinking they can do the facilities that way. I had to tell them they could not work them that way. Sure wish whoever mad that app would get rid of it (changed wording)

Agree - Im sorry but Im deleting friends who use that - if they cant even be bothered to go into FB and click on something for me (and themselves) then I dont want them.

Time to clean out your friends list and get some new ones then

A small thing, but the devs need to doublecheck the wording on the belt pop-ups. I just got the Chicken Hot Hard Taco Brown Belt, and it told me I now had a 29% chance of an extra batch. That's the crop percentage, not the product percentage. I'm not sure if that's a one-off, or if they all say that, because that's the first one I didn't click through too fast to read.

I can't find anyplace to ask this question? When at the market place for hiring, when I try to type there it comes up all numbers. that's the only place it does that.

Did you try clearing your cache, closing your browser and then reopen to your farm. Could be just a glitch.

There are a little group of us stalwarts - about half a dozen left now still playing - a lot still play occasionally - hoping the new developments will tempt them back but always happy to have new neighbours. Actually one lady says how relaxing she find FT after playing the other companies games with their constant badgering to bother friends for things to complete goals.
