------------------------------------------

UPDATE March 28th, 2024 There is a now Gift box icon on a received in game message. If you have not already sent that farmer a gift it's another way to send one. When clicked on if you can send a gift it will show you the Send Gifts section of the Gift Manger. If you can't send one, you will see a generic notification that one can not be sent.


UPDATE July 28th, 5:20PM There is a new rule for *new* players signing up in the new website when sending Farm Cash gifts to other players.

They can send as much Farm Cash as they have bought themselves, Farm Cash earned by leveling up or any other way cannot be sent to other players. This is to mitigate the creation of fake accounts in the new website with the sole purpose of leveling up and sending Farm Cash to other players.
Rules for accounts created BEFORE that date remain the same as they were.

General rules for gifting:

1. You can send gifts every 8 hours.
   
   
2. If you own the Gifting Machines you can send more often, increase gifts received and increase gift box capacity for gifts (not ingredients).
   
   
3. If you can't remember when you last sent gifts today you can open your tool box and click on the Show Times icon (clock). Look in the Gamewide section for Resend Gifts. If you have a green check mark next to that you can send gifts. If there is a time showing instead of a green check mark, that is how long you have to wait until you can send them again.
   
   
4. The Pending section can show you up to 100 gifts at a time.
   
   
5. Over 1600 Gifts on the number on your Pending section of the Gift Manager and you can start running into problems with no more gifts being added. If you get to over 1000 then the safest thing to do is start accepting them.
   
   
6. There are a few things to keep in mind if you are not accepting gifts daily or get a considerable mount of them daily:
   
   
   1. The amount of Neighbours and Buddies that you have, that could be sending you gifts either daily or multiple times a day. Some farmers will have the gifting machines that allow them to send as often as every 2 hours so some could be sending gifts more often daily than other farmers will be able to.
      
      
   2. Pending gifts that are not accepted in a 60 day time frame will be removed automatically.
   
   
7. Other Wall Requests - when sending a Requested gift like a "Send Hen Eggs" you can just click on the link and it will be sent without loading the game or you needing to reload the Other Wall Requests page.
   
   
8. Your My Gifts Section can hold up to 130 ingredients/bonuses.

Experiencing Difficulties With Gifting?:

• You can only send gifts to those that are on your Neighbour or Buddy List.
  
  If you receive a gift from someone that is not on your Neighbour or Buddy List you will need to add them as either a Neighbour or a Buddy for them to show up on one of your Lists to be able to send them gifts regularly and easily.
  
  
• If you you know your friends have sent you gifts today but they are not showing up in Pending Gifts of the Gift Manager Requests try clearing your Farm Town Memcache then reload the the game.
  To clear your FT memcache Click Here. A window will open with a list of "unsetting", that is the memcache being cleared. Close that window and FT if you have it open in another window. Then check again.
  
  
• You can also try logging out of the website, close your browser and log back in. You will need to know your login details before you do this.
  
  
• Make sure you are regularly checking for computer and browser updates and doing your routine browser clearing. You can also ty clearing your Browser's cache/history, then close and reopen your browser.
  Click HERE for instructions on clearing your browser's cache.
  
  
• When exchanging gifts, remember, you need to click on the 'exchange' button after choosing a new gift. Otherwise, you will receive the original gift that was sent to you.
