Hi Gail Green-jeans,

If no-one has already sent you a goat gift to accept, you could exchange JUST ONE 1 gift that you already have for a goat.

Don't exchange anymore than one gift for them one if you don't need them as exchanging gifts won't count for the goal when you need to accept the original gift without exchanging.

After you accept it and you load your game.
Open your gift box and mouseover the goat gift and More should appear which you can click on to post a request for that particular animal.
That will then show up in the Other Wall Request page where you're friends can find it. You won't be able to see it yourself as you can't send yourself the gift.

If you don't want to do that then you could just create a post on Facebook asking your Farm Town friends to send you goats and they will see it in their Newsfeed when they look there.

Hi screenstarr

I moved your post to the thread about Gifts.

Please be sure your browser is up to date and also check if you have any pending update for Windows or Mac in case you use it.

What exactly happens when you try to send gifts? You receive an error message? your friends lists dont load? We need to know which problem you get when trying to send them.

Just in case, be sure that 3rd party cookies and pop ups are still allowed in your browser. If you need instructions, please visit the following link:

I lost my gifts; I know there were some in there last night and my super neighbor just sent me one and it did not show up. Would be surprised if I am the only one. What is going on??????

H iSnookie Sue,
I moved your post to the Help & Support thread about gifts as this has nothing to do with the new release.
I had this happen to me yesterday, but they came back after a few hours.


Try clearing your memcache (link below), a new window will open with a short list of unsettings. Close that window and your farm in all tabs you have it open. Then reopen the game and check you My Requests.
https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/p...lear_memcached

If they still don't show up in My Requests after running memcache please click on the following link and see if you can see any Farm Town Requests in that area of Facebook: Facebook Games Activity

If any are showing up in that area, you can try using the slower method of accepting gifts in that area to see if any of the requests are stuck and clear them out of that section.

For instructions on how to accept gifts or clear stuck gift/train requests please click on this link so you know what you can and can't do with gifts and train boosts in that area of Facebook:

If that doesn't help you may have a temporary issue with data not transferring from Facebook to Farm Town in which case you may just have to wait it out another day or so and they will usually start showing back up in My Requests.

Cleared m-cache, no results. Found them in FB limbo and then saw instructions for retrieving. As there are 99 in there, I am going to cross my fingers and toes and hope they will magically reappear as yours did yesterday. Thanks again.

50 gifts showed up randomly yesterday afternoon and the rest remained in FB limbo. Same thing happened when I opened my farm this morning - could access the 50 offered and now the others are still unavailable. Am I the only one experiencing this? Happens on both my laptops. My condolences to UK farmers.

Hi Snookie Sue,
As I said before this is a random issue with Facebook transferring the data for the gifts. You might try clearing the memcache again and see if the rest will load to the My requests.

My gift requests have disappeared. Plus I can not send gifts.

Hi kymstacey

I moved your post to the thread about Gifts.

I think you are saying that your My Requests tab is not showing a number to let you know you have pending gifts.

This is a random problem that happens sometimes. It is a case of the data not transferring from Facebook to Farm Town as the gift processing is done through Facebook. I had this problem twice and it fixed itself later that day.


You can check the following link and see if your gifts are there Facebook Games Activity

If they are you can accept them through there or wait and see if they will show back up in your My Requests. Please visit the following link to know how to work through the Activity page:

Hubby's not getting gifts anymore. We have refreshed, shut down, re-started, everything. Anyone?
