"No it is not about how full your facilites are. When someone exports to you that fills up your staging area. When you Import that stores what has been exported to you and sends it to your main storage. To keep your staging area free you need to regularly import."
This is what I was having problems understanding, as I was Exporting but didn't think I needed to Import and I am sure there are a lot more people who didn't know this, so thanks for clarifying the situation,

I think I found a glitch or maybe this is just something I don't understand. I opened the Export Products thing for my Snack Machine. I had over 18,000 that I could export and 6 of my neighbors had room for 24 products each. I exported to the first two and the other 4 grayed out - I could no longer export to them. I still had over 18,000 products I could export. I'm not sure how exporting to the first two would have had any effect on the other 4?

Hi Susan,

The only reason you would not have been able to continue exporting is if their staging area was full. It may be that someone pipped you to the post with those last two. If you closed the export box you probably would have seen the export to button go back to blue indicating you could not export any more to that facility.

MAYBE . . . but I kind of doubt it. I've had it happen 3 times now. Once I had 5 neighbors with stuff to export and I could only do 2 of the 5. Next time I had 4 neighbors ready and again, I could only export 2. I think it's unlikely that other neighbors beat me to the punch all 3 times.

The reason I am quoting Susan. IS she is my neighbor,and her and 1 more are the only ones that seem to be doing ..The export..import. Ever so often a couple more do.
I see others will need to take part for this to work good.
