News Feeds Issues

Share:

As most have noticed by now the news feeds aren’t behaving as they used to and the scanner scripts aren’t working.  Instead of the filtered Mafia Wars filter link we are used to using, the Game Feed filter can be useful but you need to delete the games your aren’t interested in. We had this issue about 6 months ago but it didn’t affect the scanning scripts so there is probably more to it [1]. There are some work arounds posted in the Script|Mod room but some have stopped working. In order to get your Mafia Wars requests out there, you will need to post them on your wall and then highlight them. Instead of players jumping through all kinds of hoops just to make the news feeds work, Zynga needs to get to the bottom of this and get it fixed. Although it's a Facebook issue, Zynga does pay them 30% of their revenue so they should have some pull.  This is the 2nd day of this problem so hopefully the timer for Limited Time Property will be extended as news feeds clicks are the only way to get parts.

  2. OH, BOO-HOO!!! You have to actually WORK to get parts now instead of sitting back and having your precious scripts get them for you -- while we manual players have always had trouble working around your scripts to get anything... My heart CRIES for thee!!! :p ;)

    1. You are missing part of the point. I can't see the feeds for everyone. Some people's walls are blank and many are not showing in my feeds. If I can't see a post, I can't click a post. Although I would surely avoid yours anyway.

    2. I have posted and collected manually for years, but there are so few people playing nowadays, I need a couple of "mystery clicks" in order to get enough. Plus, I'm not even sure that everyone can see my highlighted posts.

    3. This is for you - . Although I would surely avoid yours anyway.
      You are anonymous the other player you will avoid is anonymous.
      Question how do you know who to miss out?
      You do write some rubbish
      I'm anonymous because when I did use my name I got all sorts of crap and I don't need that.

  3. There seems to big vulnerability issue. I was reading about a new POODLE Vunerability and it has to do with SSL3 socket. They are advising that all major companies address the issue. The problems may be stemming from changes being made. There are fixes for all browsers published if you do a search for them and make changes to your internet properties.

  4. I have no idea if this is related but it happened at the same time. I can't delete posts from my wall in Chrome. I'm know many don't delete but I like to keep a tidy wall and save folks that are kind enough to drop by and click wading through piles of expired crap!

    2. I haven't had any trouble (knock on wood) deleting posts using Chrome, I assume that you have tried deleting them from the activity log and if that doesn't work, you could hide them until you can delete them.

  5. I love the trolls that stop by.
    Who cares? Well either you don't play this game and don't care in which case why would you be reading Loot Lady and leaving annoying comments? Or you do play and rely on being able to see posts and help because it's a big part of the game and you have to care. This has nothing to do with scripts or no scripts.

  7. This started 5 days ago, not 2. I noticed when I used the feature via Demon to post to the feed and our home group help page, nothing happened at all.
    After posting I noticed the lights had not disappeared or dimmed on my main page. It looked as if I had never tired to post anything. When I viewed my Property to Build, all the Ask for Parts were still lit up. I tried reposting, and go nothing. I gave up, its not the first time or the last time Zynga/FB screws players over and says nothing in regards to warm or educate the players.
    Thets a clear sign they don't care and never will.
