Either they have unfriended you on FB or you have unfriended them on FB, but they haven't removed you from their My Neighbours.

Thanks for the reply. I did visit the one that was in pink on my list today - someone I have never heard of and to my knowledge have never been friends with. Maybe they picked me up at the market one time!

I am not going to, but how do you remove yourself from their neighbours bar?

I clicked on a Pink thank you just now, went to the farm - looked up the person and I am not friends with them. How can they then have me as a neighbor?? Am I missing something here

You both have to send and accept neighbor requests , they don't automatically become yours , weird but true. One would think it would be the opposite...

quote from Raul " If it is pink (stranger), you will see a 'Visit' button you can click and visit that users farm to see who it is. This means that this user has you as her neighbour but you don't have her as your neighbour. In any case, once you are at her farm, you may decide to remove yourself from her neighbour list."

Ann, my point is that I did go and visit a (stranger) and we are not even FB friends. I fail to see how someone that I am not even friends with can have me as a neighbour on FT ?? Very odd ......

Hi barbara,
At some point you had to be friends and they had added you with your acceptance to be their neighbor. You have been playing since 2009, so it could have been long enough ago that you don't remember. Many players have more friends that play than they can have neighbors. In those cases the neighbor acceptance is usually 1 way as you can be a neighbor for them and they not be your neighbor.

Another update and yes I cannot load the farm again, stuck at loading user again, guess I may as well go out for the day, it always takes ages to fix this repetitive issue!!!!!!

This looks like it's going to be a very fun release, thanks!

Delighted to actually get gifts for thanking people - I haven't received any yet, but I guess I will? Like I just thanked people for buying new facilities for this next round - do we get anything for that?

Also . . . you may have already addressed this in this release, but one of the things that's bothered me is at the end of a competition when it's time to claim your rewards, you get that screen that says, "Wait! Don't you want to go thank people?" (That's not it exactly but similar) So I typically think, "Ok, sure" and go thank people. But then I never see the rewards screen again. Makes me wonder if I actually got anything or if I somehow lost it by going to thank people. We need to be taken back to the rewards page after we thank folks - or something - so it's obvious that we're getting our rewards.

Also . . . this has really bugged me and I see that it's at least partially addressed in this new release, so I'm going to bring it up. And maybe it's just something I don't understand. But since in that last screen - the competing neighborhoods one - you're never with any of your neighbors there, I never know which neighbors have helped me and which haven't. It's not like we can really pull together for a common goal because we each have different goals. How do we know who's helped? And whom we should help? Like, I'd like to help everyone on my team on that last page because that pushes my whole team to the top. But I have no way of knowing who those people are. We can't really be a team. I'm a "team" with people who are neighbors (which is nice) but who don't actually share the common goal with me. Anyway . . . those are just my thoughts. Glad to see this quest is being tweaked a bit. Love the idea of being rewarded for thanking folks.

no ? in top right corner of the Peacocks yet..

Farmer_Susan · #8 Aug 05 2016, 04:38 AM

Oh yeah - one other thing. I'm not seeing a way to buy the peacock in bulk? Don't we have something like that? I can add them to the coop in bulk once I've bought them and I also know about the "Buy Multiple" thing on the context menu. But even wih that, it still takes 200 clicks per farm to get them all bought? I thought there was a shortcut like we have for trees and flowers. No?

we have never been able to buy animals in bulk... I just bought 1800 and they are in my storage until that ? appears so I know they can be placed in the Chicken Coop and the feathers can be harvested..

They can go in the coops already, I have placed all mine in coops and then they are ready to go when they can be harvested
