~=Sorted!=~


anybody else having their interactions kind of... bork?
like i've had a couple that when i went to their page, the treat was already there. at first i thought i must have just forgotten give them their treat when i was last there but then it had it do the same thing with somebody i Knew i had visited yesterday!
the hinky bit:
you go to the creatures list and where it says you can/can't play the lottery, the random treat is already there... like you already played the lottery but forgot to give the treat. you click the treat, the lottery comes up again. so Essentially, you seem to give the critters Two treats in a day, instead of the one. uhmmm?

Hey there @GeistStorm, this sounds familiar. I believe this is what may be happening to you, but please correct me if I'm wrong:

1. Click "Play Lottery" on someone's profile, but don't complete the interaction. This causes you to "keep" the interaction food, so it appears on every profile you visit until you use it.

2. While you have the interaction food, open different profiles in multiple tabs. Choose one of the profiles and use the interaction food.

3. Now check your other tabs. The other profiles will still show that the interaction food is unused -- basically ghost food. When you click the button to use the food, it refreshes the page and shows the "Play Lottery" button (if you haven't used all 10 of your interactions).


If this is what happened, I can understand why you might believe you were doubling your interactions. What's actually happening is that the page is refreshing when you try to give the "ghost food" to another player.

But if you really are doubling interactions, you'd receive two messages saying that the player's pets reacted to the food, as well as two prizes from the same profile. If this is the case, this may be a bug.

Let me know if anything I said was confusing, or if you have more questions! ^^

huh. so some times if i have several profiles open at once (i right click on those i owe interactions with before deleting the note about it & usually have up to five people's profiles up at once to clear them) it might do that... weird... thing?
huh. okay. i Think we got it sorted. still kind of weird but okay.
i don't try getting around the "10 only" rule. i just open the profiles in multiples, not actually try doing them all at once. i interact, do the stuff i'm supposed to, wait for it to say it went through. then head to the next profile i have open, keeping the count in my head as i go.
~i hope that made sense. it's getting close to when i head to bed, so i canna promise anything sense wise. lol~
anyweasleys, thank you for the help n sorting it out.

@GeistStorm

I do the same thing as you honestly (opening multiple tabs to return interactions), so I never suspected you of intentionally trying to circumvent the limit! I just remember this happening to other people, and was just doing my best to explain it. I hope I didn't sound accusatory because that wasn't my intention haha. But yeah, the ghost food thing can happen, and it's certainly weird but fortunately not a bug, just a result of multiple tabs and one incomplete interaction.

But if you ever do receive two prizes from the same profile in the same day, definitely let us know! xD

oh, i didn't think you were accusing me. i just was explaining myself to make sure i was being transparent from the beginning. this how i stay out of trouble... i look where it might come up in the future and beat it to the punch. lol
~something i'm sure my mother would have wished i knew how to do as a kid. X1;;~

oh, for sure. i'm a firm believer in taking any weird or hinky stuff straight to the people in charge... it goes back to beating the trouble to the pass. i've only Had One "incident" in my time online and even That was less a thing i did/didn't do and just a whole mess of trouble even a Psychic wouldn't have been able to see through. i think was way way Waaay back in... what was it...? '99, maybe? [tired sigh] eyah, had to've been... '99 was a train wreck of a year online. [shakes head] oof.
i mean it had Nothing on 2020, obvs. but it still sucked. lol

anyway, thanks again. uhm, do i lock the thread or can it be locked now that it's answered or...? [is obviously unsure how things are handled in this forum as compared to others] everybody has their own house rules. still getting my footing in this one. ^^;;

@GeistStorm

Your transparency is much appreciated! :)

No worries about locking the thread, also, since we don't lock help threads (for some reason xD)
