This could be a combination of gifts from the gift page, bonuses and ingredients. Click on it to open it. The items in the Gift Box that are sent from the Gift Page are all combined by type.

What are Wall Requests?
What are Wall Requests and what are the links at the top of My Requests for?
The easiest place to find your friends Farm Town posts is by using the links at the top of the My Requests page. This is particularly useful when you can't find some posts in your Facebook Newsfeed. For posts to show up in this wall they must have first been posted to Facebook. For both types of Facility work requests there must also be a check mark in the first popup for "Show FarmTown Wall Requests". There are actually 3 links but only 2 will show as a link when you are viewing a particular section. The links allow you to switch between each section. The section you are viewing will not be a link and will have a pale yellow background behind the text. Click on the My Requests tab at the top of the game screen. You will be viewing your gifts at first so you are in the Show My Requests section. The other 2 links are Show Facility Wall Requests and Show Other Wall Requests. Example: To view your Friends Facility Requests click on Show Facility Wall Requests and you will see your friends recent Facility posts. This is an example of what you could see here but they will be your friends posts. As you can see Show My Requests is now a link, in the middle is Facility Wall Requests with a yellow background indicating that that is the section you are viewing and there is Show Other Wall Requests as a link to the right. Names and profile pictures are edited for privacy reasons : If any of them have Pink backgrounds those are facilities already worked. Example: The Names in blue are a clickable link which will take you to that persons Facebook profile. A suggestion: When working with the Wall Requests if you want to work on a request, right click on the blue link to the right of what you are wanting to do, then click on "open link in new tab". To see your Friends bonus posts, requests for gifts or ingredients and any Farm Cash rewards click on Show Other Wall Requests. You will then see something similar to this. As you can see Show My Requests and Show Facility Wall Requests are now links and Other Wall Requests now has a pale yellow background. The links to the right can be clicked to send a bonus, gift or ingredients. To view another section just click the link of the section you want to view. NOTE:You will not see your own posts here only your friends posts. |
Chapter 24 - Gifts/Gifting/Accepting/Exchanging/Storing
These are the instructions for the old method of accepting gifts by going to the Facebook Games Activity section.
We've included these instructions as they can be used to accept gifts and neighbour requests, as an alternative, should there be a problem using My Requests. My Requests is a far easier and quicker method. You can NOT Accelerate Trains using this method. Facebooks area for game requests can only show you up to 100 Farm Town requests at a time, so if you have a considerable amount of requests you may have to return to this section more than once.
We're only explaining in detail how to accept/exchange/clear or ignore a gift request here as that's more complicated than accepting a neighbour request or ignoring a train request. To quickly get to Facebook Games Activity section click on this link: https://www.facebook.com/games/activity You can also get to this section via the Facebook Games bookmark in the left side of Facebook News Feed. If you don't immediately see any game request for any of your games make sure you are in the Activity section. Look for your Farm Town Requests they will look similar to this if you have any: http://r1.slashkey.com/images/gamegu...short list.PNG To Accept a Gift: Click on the Accept button and then you will see something similar to this: http://r1.slashkey.com/images/gamegu...h exchange.PNG To Exchange the gift: Don't click the Yes or No yet. Instead, in the window, click on the link that says Click Here. You will then see that section change to this: http://r1.slashkey.com/images/gamegu...other gift.PNG To Accept more Gifts: Click the Yes at the bottom of the window and it will take you back to your requests. If you don't want to accept any more gifts click the No at the bottom of the window and the game will load. NOTE: Any gifts that are what we refer to as Stuck gifts, are requests that you have previously accepted that did not clear from this area, so those will not show up in your gift box in the game. Only the ones that you have not already accepted will show up in the gift box. If any requests do not clear from this area despite accepting them, you must then click the X on each one to clear the requests OR if you think they are all stuck then you can use the Ignore All explained earlier. |
