I like it for clearing out products that are done, but it takes forever to use it to load up facilities because it times out or slows everything up (won't work until the picture of each place reloads and sometimes that takes a long time). So ... I only use it for half the intended purpose. Still go farm by farm and facility by facility to load them.

I suspect it's a RAM issue. I have an older computer that's like you describe - takes forever or times out and boots me off. But it's a breeze on my newer computer. I love it on the new computer but the older one, yeah, it's a pain to try to use it.

This is not a true statement. They used to delete the update threads when a new update came out so you can not go by the list of update threads in this section. Now while it is true that we have had at least one update a month for some time now that does not mean we will get one this week.

I really don't think it is RAM I have 6 gig of RAM on my new laptop and it is slow too. Sometimes slower than others and I think it depends on which browser I am using. Firefox is the one I usually use but I think for working the facilities it is slower than Chrome or IE. But I do agree it is very time consuming, I don't have all the facilities but close to it and some I have more than one of spread out over four fields. Takes any where from 30 minutes to an hour to work. I think the use of an ALL button like we have in the semi-trailer would be helpful. I would not be able to use it on everything but for items that we consistently have to hit the 30+ but 10 - 20 times like the Essentials Oils Plant, it would be very helpful and cut time down.
Hmm sorry I kind of went off and rambled a bit.

That was I was thinking, I started in Dec 09 and it sure seemed like a long time from the time I hit level 60 till they came out with any updates. I thought I had done all there was to do and was ready to quit then one came out, haven't gave up on since.

That poor mayor has been held hostage so many times now...he probably just knows after a certain number of weeks he has to go to your farm and tie himself up....LOL

thanks for the ideas, but I clear all my caches and macromedia regularly too. Like I said, clearing the facilities always works great but loading them stalls. And I just upgraded the RAM on my computer a few months ago ... specifically for this game

emptying them doesn't work unless the graphic of each building is displayed (and it disappears after working on one place so I have to wait until they all load again to do the next one). Going farm-to-farm works quickly but I have over 70 facilities so I was happy when the facility manager came out.

fyi - this isn't something new happening ... has been working that way from the start for me.
