You will soon notice a few new feature which were added to the Spockholm Toolbar. The first solves a problem that many have with Family Progression. Most players do the tasks but wait and strategically accept their experience bonuses. It's hard to remember which ones you have already accepted and which bonuses are waiting under the collect button.
Users of the Spockholm Toolbar will soon see stars on their buttons which will indicate what bonus is waiting for collection. Now there will be no more guessing. Just look at the star and check to see how much experience you will get for collecting it. In the example below, I've Gold mastered the Property task but haven't collected upon it yet. The star is Bronze and will turn Silver once I collect.
Another added feature will be found in the Daily Chance. When you submit a ticket, the numbers you have already selected will appear green.
This will ensure you pick different numbers for the next ticket and increase your odds of selecting numbers that Zynga "draws".
You can still pick numbers that you already submitted, this just helps you pick a better variety.
If you have selected a number more than one time, it will appear red.
It's too bad Zynga doesn't offer anything worth playing the Daily Chance. If you think you will get 5 tickets and win 1,000 Reward Points, you might want to go to the
Mafia Wars Wiki Daily Chance Page and check your odds.
You have a 1 in 12,103,014 chance of that ever happening. The rest of the items you can win are outdated. Zynga could make this a fun feature if they wanted to.

Team Spockholm credits Brandon Venery for writing the original code for the Family Progression feature.
This is awesome!! Sometimes i think the only thing keeping MW going is team spokholm....maybe they need to switch gears and just make us all a new Mafia game...then we could all ditch Zynga before they ditch us!!
