iPad daily trading thread for March 2013

[must_dash]

20 gifts sent out to the last 20 people, a few known people and about 15 usernames. Is't it wonderful how GI knows to only sent one item to one user, but can't tell us who.

Uncle Mans have a sent an invite to Uncle Mans 3 from Ducks1. Do you want gifts sent to that game or is it a dormant game used for gifting mostly?
Angry Bear thank you I will be patient and not buy the racks. Really want to keep my precious greenies for the next land sale.

I have just had 20 minutes of everybody's names (almost). I was able to visit a few airports I have not seen for a while! Long may it last............

 

[Angry Bear]

Gifts sent out today. Had to do it in a hurry so I couldn't write down the names.

If anyone can help out, I need. One smoke detector and 3 Ergonomic Chairs.

 

[Angry Bear]

iPad user here and the GI glitches/error bug finally caught up to me. I no longer have the "Add Friend" tab. So, until they fix this, and I doubt it will be anytime soon, I can no longer add friends. Any other iPad users have the same issue?

Pakman, GamingSwiftie Bali Hi and Arne - I sent out neighbor requests. I think I may have a couple already, just not for sure for all the usernames.

Is there a way around the username - meaning are the avatars and/or levels mostly correct? I could start making note of the levels if so.

I can't see any invitations, but you are already on my neighbour list - with visible name, apparently permanently.

 

[Arne]

I just noticed this question and answer in the Support section of the game:
View attachment 318
Now they tell us!
Cheers,
Tom

Does anybody know if you can change the username now?

Thanks. When my game resets, I'll send smoke detector to you.

Accepted - welcome.

Pakman, Scoob1964, Uncle Mans, I sent you a friend request. Thank you.

Ditto - accepted and welcome. I have lots of other neighbour requests from Usernames so if anyone is still waiting please PM me.

No, it's fine Username is one word, so it's acceptable. But wow, that's a lot of people to share on name.....

RE: Your thread msg "20 gifts sent out to the last 20 people, a few known people and about 15 usernames. Is't it wonderful how GI knows to only sent one item to one user, but can't tell us who" As a person who spent 30 years in Info Systems wrking from Programmer to Director Lvl. Every Gift exchange must have two basic addresses - #1 who is the sender #2 who is the recipient. How do I know this is true ?? Well if ERB22 send a gift to must_dash. When must_dash takes my gift what happens immediately? Answer the "return gift" msg appears !!!!! So to comment on your statement above - Yes they do know and obviously there is a small piece of code that exists that is failing to replace "Username" with the "real" name. It is also very obvious, in my opinion, that this piece of code exisits inthe"Routine" that takes place when players become Neighbors. Further guessing it most likely a "common work area" that is getting "stepped on"by the bad piece of code. Thanks for listening. Bill PS - Give me three of their top programmers and 3/4 weeks later we would be rolling out the fix!

Arne - This is obviously one of the most "Stupid" statements that GI could make. IE "We (GI) Highly recommend not to use spaces etc etc tec"
Well GI Support - If you know "Spaces"cause problems - why (GI) do you allow it! ! ! Talk about "Dumb and Dumber" They all work for GI ! Bill

 

[Ianda11]

If anyone wants to join my launch (Ianda11) it'll be an easy 2nd place. Need around 300 to complete.

 

[Dee140157]

Thank you Angry Bear and Uncle Mans my terminal is up and running. Now to save up again. It's like real life, there's always a job needing to be done that needs more money than you have in the bank! And even trying to get the money is so full of glitches it drives you nuts. Ah well, onwards and upwards.

Totally agree that it is a simple coding item, and like you say should be easy to fix. But like all their programming it is full of bad bits.
