Hi bjyhey,
The link for clearing from Slashkey:
https://apps.slashkey.com/farmtown/play/?do=clear_memcached
I would suggest you bookmark it after you run it the first time.
You need to uncheck the box for the Seasonal gifts for them to not show.

Recently experiencing an issue with receiving gifts... In the Gifts Manager/Pending Gifts I typically exchange all to something I want a bunch of, then accept them all, but when I look in My Gifts it's empty.. I close the Gifts Manager 'window' and the icon at the bottom of the game has a white on red "1" indicating I have one type with any quantity in my 'my gifts' section, but when I open it back up, still empty, reload the game and still empty and that "1" is then gone... I've witnessed this on other players' accounts, doing the same thing, so, it appears to be a game-wide thing, just happens fairly randomly/not every time.... seems to have started about 1-2 months ago...

Hi Ncbba,
When you go to other's farms you do not see there gift manager. You are see your own and even though it is greyed out the number you are seeing is your own.
I just checked you data and there is nothing in your gift box so you have a ghost gift in there. Please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close that as it is done.
If your farm is open close it. Then reopen and try again.

I'm referring to looking over another player's shoulder and seeing the same thing happening to their account, not while visiting their farms. And, obviously there is nothing in there, as I said, I 'accepted them', they were trees that I had exchanged them to, but when I went to 'use them', the "my gifts" tab had nothing in it. Where did they go? Again, this isn't the first time recently that this has happened, and again, not just happening to my account, but others as well, that I have seen myself, not just taking someone's word for it....

Hi Ncbba,
What tree did you exchange them for?
Did you try clearing the memcache to get rid of the number since there is nothing there?

[ncbba2358]

Mulberry Trees, I was on farm6 at the time, if that makes any difference, and no, didn't run the memcache thing as I never have, just reloaded the page, as that has worked for 15 years. Only mentioned the number thing as it was indicating I had an item in the 'my gifts' 'box', when the item(s) should have been there, but was empty. and that when reloading, the number was gone, which would be appropriate if and since the box of items being empty...
BUT, where did the item (tree) go?

Hi Ncbba,
I checked your storage and you only have 6 mulberry trees there, so they didn't go into your storage. I can't tell you where they went. If that number is still there then I highly suggest you clear the memcache as what that does is force the server to reload your account data and cleans up any stray wrong data. I would run that and then exchange for the mulberry tree again but only accept a few of them and see if they get through to the gift box.

I just exchanged 50 gifts for the mulberry trees and got them in my gift box ok. I can't duplicate this. The only thing I can suggest then is for you to contact Support if this continues.
