What is the envelope in the game?
https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...g/ENVELOPE.png The envelope icon at the top of your game screen between the Farmers Lists icon and your XP amount for your current Level is where you can read any messages that farmers have sent to you in game. https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...ENVELOPE 1.png If there is a number in red on the message envelope that means you have a message you have not read yet. Messages can not be saved. There is room to show around 50 farmers messages at a time. You can receive more messages than that but it can't show you all of them at once. The red counter, on the message envelope, will not go above 99 and if you have more unread messages than that, it will just show a + sign on the envelope. As you read the messages and they get below 99 the counter will start counting up again as new messages come in. We recommend you read your messages when you get them and don't let them build up as you can only open them one at a time. To open your messages, click on the envelope and you will see your Inbox. You will see who sent messages and part of the message if the message is a long one. Example of an Inbox with received messages: https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...N OCT 2023.png Also at the bottom of the message they send to you are some more icons that can be useful. http://r1.slashkey.com/images/gamegu...Y JAN 2022.png Show History on any message is sometimes useful if there has been a long time between when a farmer last sent you a message and the new one they sent you. It can show you some what was sent previously, but the it can only show you a small amount. A very long message won't show the whole content of the message. It's there just to give you an idea of what conversation you may have had recently with that farmer. To Reply to the message:

Why is there this function on my farm?
Why not?
In fact, internal messaging lets you communicate with farmers who are not online. You can visit their farms and leave a message by using the "Send Message" option on the neighbour bar or from your "buddy list". This is how you can send a message to people rather than using the reply option detailed above. You can simply click on an avatar and select "Send Message" from the menu that appears. |
How do I send messages?
There are several ways to send a message to a farmer in Farm Town:
With Sale Offers you send or receive while online in the game it works slightly differently: Sale Offers are explained in Chapter 10 Buying, Selling Trading

Why are some of my neighbours not receiving my messages?
They may have accidentally ignored/blocked you in-game which would prevent this.
Ask them to verify that you are not in their list of blocked users in Farm Town. There are several ways to unblock a user. You need to be logged into your account on Facebook to do this: Method 1:
Method 2:
Method 2:
Once a user has been removed from this list, you will be able to send messages and see each other in the game again. |
Can I write my messages in full screen mode?
YES you can now do this in the new version as Unity supports it.
During the flash days, Adobe (which developed and distributed Flash support for games had blocked access to the keyboard in full screen mode for security reasons. Unity which we use now allows you to chat and send messages in full screen mode. |
I get messages asking me to forward information. What should I do?
Quote:
The official announcements for Facebook are made on the Facebook site and official announcements from Farm Town are made here in the forums. These messages are hoaxes and aren't true. Please do NOT send such a message when you get one. It will achieve nothing, by sending these on it simply slows down the game - there will be no rewards sent like this from Farm Town or Facebook via the private messaging system on Farm Town.

How to Copy Paste in chat and messages
Highlighting to copy/Paste text in Farm Town:
WebGL provides very limited support for copy and paste so we had to implement it from scratch. If the Copy/Paste/Cut menu options using right click do not work at some point, you can try highlighting the text to then try using the keyboard shortcuts to copy paste instead: Windows users: |
