Gifting is STILL broken

[alnitak]

Having had my last thread closed, basically being told that I don't know what I'm doing and directed to read an introductory article on gifting, I am opening another thread to state again that gifting is NOT working correctly, besides the previous problems I noted (where my daughters with only three people in their army can't send me a gift), now, EVERY gift I receive is being treated as an add army request. They are showing up on my invite page requesting that I add so-and-so to my army --- even though they are already in it. If that person sends me another gift, I have to accept them into my army again. If I don't and just accept the gift, I get the "You have already..." message.

Gifting is broken...please don't say it's fixed when it's not! I'm not a novice player, and know how to properly accept gifts. There is something wrong that hasn't been diagnosed yet.

Gifting is an add army request. They work identically, one just gives a solider unit versus a "gift". They do show up on the same page because accepting a gift adds someone to your army if they aren't already in it.

Now, if you have hit the "accept all" button, that voided all the requests pending for CA through the FB request page--which results in the "you have already received" message since that gift no longer exists. You'll just have to clear out all those old gift requests either by accepting and getting the already received message or by using the [x]. Once these are cleared out, you should find that gifts work 95% of the time. (No game is perfect, other games lose gifts sometimes too.)

For your daughters, have them look under [sent invites] to see if there is a gift stuck from their end. If there is, they just need to [Stop the Messenger], and you should show up on their lists again.

Quite frankly, you could have clicked 'gift issues' in my signature and read the first post, then replied to that topic instead of opening a new one about a non-problem and sending me a private message.

I did read the post, and it IS a problem...please stop saying it is not. I have any number of times done the accept all bit. I repeat, every gift I get, even from people who have been in my army for a year, is showing up as an add army request. I understand that new people can send a gift which automatically generates an add army request...but these are people already in my army. I am accepting all several times a day, with the same names continuing to show up because they send me another gift.

Either I am not explaining the problem correctly, or you are missing key points of my issue.

I am an experienced CA player...not a novice. I have been dealing with gifting issues for a year. My daughter's issue is not related to the army issue, as there is nothing on their invite page and I am still showing up in their army. They are not sending more than 32 gifts a day (far less).

Gifting is still broken...

Did you read my previous post? Let me include some pictures this time.

You are discribing this page:

Yes, these people may already be in your army (these friends of mine have been in my army for a long time). This page just tells me that I have a pending gift from them. If I click accept, it takes me back to Facebook's list of gift requests so I can accept the gift. If I click ignore, it removes the pending gift from CA (but the gift will still show up on Facebook's request list and is now an empty gift--"You have already..." Likewise, if I click accept all, I delete all the gifts pending through CA, and if I try to accept them later through Facebook, I get the "You have already..." message. This last thing is what it sounds like you keep doing. You keep deleting the gifts and then trying to accept them after you have deleted them from CA's memory.

For your daughters:
Since the game only allows them to send one invite to each player, there may be a gift stuck at their end. Have them check http://apps.facebook.com/castle_age/army_reqs.php
It looks like this. If they see you on their list, they need to click [Stop the Messenger] and then they should be able to send to you again.
