Trading Post Wall to Walls Turned Off!

22 Jun

FarmVille and Zynga have decided to turn off the Trading Post Wall to Walls feature. This is due to a lot of feedback against the feature. “Hey Farmers! Great news! Trading Post Wall to Walls have been turned off. Thank you for the feedback and let us know how you like the adjustment.”

Questions: What do you think about this change? Did you mind the feature at all in the first place?

FarmVille Posts Getting Lumped Together?

07 Apr

It looks as if Facebook is starting to “Lump” posts together again. This has happened once before, but I cannot find the post we made on it. Basically, Facebook has changed the way the news feed is combining posts from certain applications like FarmVille, FrontierVille and CityVille. For the time being there is no real work around except hoping that they change it back!

This Appears To Have Been Fixed!

Changes To Facebook News Feeds, Ack Noes!

11 Feb

Facebook has launched some changes lately that may be affecting FarmVille user and FarmVilleFeed.com Fans! With the latest changes comes a setting the will automatically only show you posts from “Friends and Pages you interact with most”. There is a easy fix so you make sure you see each calf, foal, mystery seedling and watering can you are suppose to!

1.) Scroll all the way to the bottom of your news feed at the home page of Facebook. Once you reach the bottom you will see a option identical to the little screen cap we included here in this screenshot. Click “Edit Options” to receive the next pop up from Facebook.


Edit Options At The Bottom

2.) Once you receive the next pop up, use the “Drop Down” menu to see the 2 options you are given. By default, you will only see the “Friends and Pages you interact with most”. If you wish to see ALL postings, you will want to change this option to “All of your friends and pages”. This way you don’t miss out on any posts from FarmVille, FarmVille Feed or any friends that may be giving away that rare foal or calf you are looking for!

Wall Street Journal on Facebook Privacy Breach!

18 Oct

The applications transmitting Facebook IDs may have breached their own privacy policies, as well as industry standards, which say sites shouldn’t share and advertisers shouldn’t collect personally identifiable information without users’ permission. Zynga, for example, says in its privacy policy that it “does not provide any Personally Identifiable Information to third-party advertising companies.”

A Zynga spokeswoman said, “Zynga has a strict policy of not passing personally identifiable information to any third parties. We look forward to working with Facebook to refine how web technologies work to keep people in control of their information.

Gifting Increases To Fifty!

07 Sep

FarmVille gifting has always been plagued by the limit of gifting and neighbors. According to sources at the FarmVille forums, this is not limited by Zynga, but actually by Facebook. With this being said, Facebook has increased gifting to 50 people per 24 hours. FarmVille is not the only game with gift increases, it has also increased on FrontierVille as well.

Similar Post Disabled?

21 Jul

FarmVille and its Fans alike have been plagued by Similar posts for quite some time now. Well tonight in either a fluke, temporary or permanent way (crosses fingers SUPER tight) things have changed. In any case, lets hope the days of Similar posts are over! Do you think they will return the “Become a Fan” button Next?

You can see in this photo that they have been separated. Check your feed now and share this information with your friends!

NOTE : We are seeing a lot of people wanting Similar Posts back. Is this truly the case? We would love to hear from you in our Forum!

Facebook News Feed Issue

27 May

UPDATE : It appears this Issue has been Resolved!

Just a heads up everyone..
When posting to the news feed on Facebook, there is a glitch that doesn’t allow the post to be seen by anyone but yourself. It’s essentially hidden in Facebook cyber space somewhere and you are the lucky guy/girl to see this magical post of yours. Now, there is a fix :)

To the right of the text field there is a little lock icon. As of now, that lock is set to Only Me.


Locked to Only Me

Locked to Only Me


You want that lock icon to be set to : Friends Only or whatever else suits your fancy, but definitely not “Only Me”, because who actually posts on Facebook if they don’t want anyone else to see it?


Set to Friends Only
