Can someone explain to me why. Thanks in advance.

Hi, that would be because you own the ordering station, which has cut the usual delivery time to 30 minutes instead of 1 hour. The quests use the normal time shown without the ordering station.

Okay, thank you very much for the reply :-)

Wondering if anyone has received FC for finishing a quest?

Wow. Never occurred to me that I was the only one this was happening to. It happens on both my laptop and my desktop although it happens much more frequently on the laptop. I don't THINK I have large fonts selected in either browser - would seem especially unlikely on my laptop but if you'll remind me where to check that in FF, I will. I'll try the tab thing next time I need to run trains - I've got a couple due in today.

Ok, so this is just a fun, silly thing but it DOES pertain to this release so here goes:

If you've got some of the rain clouds and lightening and stuff - especially a whole bank of them, you can run your cursor over them really fast and because things turn yellow when you run your cursor over them, it highlights the sky and gives the illusion of actual lightening. It takes so little to keep me amused at times. ; )

If you want to check it out, you can visit my Splendor 'n' Spooks farm in my sig line. Very fun.

Thanks for info Taz! I will keep checking and keep questing!

Since I'm too lazy to read all 40+ pages of this thread, I'm gonna ask:

Why is there an eyeball above the toolbox, what does it do, or what does it tell me - what do I need to know about this thing?

Also, is there any plan to allow us to "deactivate" our avatar? I find it very annoying that with every errant click of the mouse, he takes off & moves directly to where I'm working, often getting right in the way of everything, which causes me to have to stop & "send him away". If only I could just deactivate that part of his movement. I don't mind that he's right there when I'm plowing/planting/harvesting/chopping/fishing, etc.,. But that movement on an errant click is highly annoying! Please let me "turn him off" or something equal to that.

Also, why do the avatars have to look like hobbits when all the other "people" you've given us to place on our farms look like regular people? What gives?

The eye is the dim out function. If you click on it then it will cycle through off, dimmed and hidden.
Only the developers know if there is a plan to deactivate the avatar. You might want to put that in the Suggestions section instead of here. That is where they look for suggestions.
