No, it's not really that bad!
Here's a little guide to accepting CA requests and gifts.
Some generals:
Accepting gifts can seem like an endless procedure, getting forwarded from CA to the facebook request page and back to CA countless times. Sadly, this is necessary due to some rules put up by facebook. Just be patient and you'll be able to receive all your gifts.
(...since so many people seem to have trouble with this particular bit, I shall highlight it) - Make sure you always accept your gifts right away. Each friend can only send you one gift at a time. So as long as you haven't accepted it, your name won't show up on their list and they will not be able to send you another one. Same goes the opposite way: if you find your friend list for sending gifts nearly empty, then your friends simply haven't accepted and received their gifts yet. You will only be able to send one, once they have accepted the first gift.
How to go about accepting gifts:
There seem to have been issues with lost gifts if gifts were accepted from the request page when the person had not been on CA yet that day. So I suggest you log onto CA (stash your gold, do some fights and quests or whatever it is you like to do first thing) and do this before trying to accept any gifts. Once on CA, click on the gift tab, then on 'invite'. You will then see a few pictures of people who have sent you gifts.
Click 'accept'
This will lead you to your facebook request page where you will be able to find requests. Due to certain rules implemented by facebook, it is necessary to accept each request individually.
You may have clicked on 'accept' for one person, but once you're on the request page, another person's gift shows up on top. Don't worry about the difference in names. Just accept the top gift on your facebook request pag.
This will lead you back to your CA page, where you will be asked whether you have more gifts to accept. Click yes if you do, no if you don't.
Do this until all the pending requests are done.
Errors and solutions:
It sometimes happens that an error occurs when you accept a gift. For example, the page may not load properly and you end up on a white page with an error message in the middle instead of on CA. If this happens, don't panic. Nothing is lost yet. All you have to do is click on 'try again' until you're forwarded to CA. That way you will receive your gift.
If, however, you missed out on a gift because you went back to the facebook home page instead of clicking on 'try again' (no worries, it happens to all of us every now and again), you will lose the gift. In that case, you will still see the gift pending on CA, but when you click to accept it doesn't show up in your request page any more. If this happens, make sure you first accept ALL the gifts that are still visible on your facebook request page. Once all of them have been accepted, go to your CA gift 'invite' tab and click 'accept all'.
'accept all' will give you a warning that you will lose the gifts. That way your friend will still get accepted into your army. Also, they are now free to send you another gift
If all else fails, use:
...i had to leave a space before gift&uid= to avoid the word filter. Get rid of the space in order to use the link.
and add the user ID of the person to accept to the end.
If the requests should ever turn up on your facebook request page, please do not ignore them. The gift limit has been put down to 16 at the moment for the very reason that a number of players used the link I've just given you above and then ignored on facebook... which facebook then marks as spam and cuts down on the number of invites we can send.
...and another suggestion:
and another one:
Or try King Hrothbeort's method:
Go to the army page: http://apps.facebook.com/castle_age/army.php
For each gift you will see accept/ignore links.
Copy, but be sure not to click the "ignore" link
Paste in it to your browser
(It will look like: apps.facebook.com/castle_age/gift_accept.php?act=ignore&rqtp= gift&uid=[some FB ID number here])
Change "ignore" to "acpt"
(Now it will look like apps.facebook.com/castle_age/gift_accept.php?act=acpt&rqtp= gift&uid=[same FB ID number here])
Hit return. You will have to do this for each gift.
Click all the "accept" buttons on your Facebook page. This doesn't do anything, but will prevent the number of gifts you can send each day from being lowered.
