Hi Shirl

You have 3 options, you could move each tree closer together, plant new ones in between, or put all of them into storage, and replant them. Whichever is easiest for you to do

I think the new hiring system has some bugs. I'm noticing the following:

• Last night, I hired someone and with that single click, I both hired the farmer for my farm AND ended up BEING hired for someone else's farm. I hadn't wanted to work, but there I was.
• I've had people show up on my farms with the "ready to work" message when I haven't even been to the Market.
• I get ghosts fairly frequently now. Have already mentioned the time I came back from the Market with 9 people.
• SOMEHOW someone got hired to clear out my Quest farm. This COULD have been my error, i.e., maybe I accidentally hired someone to do the Quest farm, but I'm usually pretty careful - I've never done that before so it makes me wonder if it's a bug.

I have had someone clear my quest farm long before the update, BUT I had just been to the market to hire, and I just chalked it up to clicking on the wrong farm. It's very easy to do. It has never happened since, which makes me even more sure it was my own error.

Another glitch? Since last night I have not been able to collect my train boosts, every time I go to collect one it tells me that it has expired which I know for a fact the person sending it has just advised me that she was sending the train my way.. what a bummer that is a way of getting extra goodies you need for your facilities.. please fix... thanks

Love the new method of doing the quests - able to open facs straight from the quest. Brilliant!

No, but since I typed my question last night it seems to have fixed itself. So I still have no idea why it did that! Ah well, what should I expect of a browser that thinks Obama, Facebook, and even Taz are all misspellings?!?

Hi max_river

Could you tell us which issues do you have with the hide crops option please?

[Snookie Sue]

That's what I did. Except I just sold them and bought new as I have many, many coins. Then I replanted with the tool that lets you plant in bulk. Freed up a ton of space! Doubled the capacity on my chopping trees farm. Great update perk.
