    GRANDMA: all 3 accounts received message about Halloween challenge, should look in the room at WW, none of them got it! The arrow with “New challenge” appeared in Clubhouse. Is it new Halloween trick, similar to what you had couple days ago with none existing ad?

  2. Fred04 says:

    and thanks for the fixes. I haven’t gotten booted out once since then.

    Not sure if they updated WKN also but in Safari I am not seeing the top blue bar with the login and links to Webkinz World. It does appear in Firefox. I’m not sure what is causing the performance issues (video ads perhaps) but playing games that require any kind of timing (like Candy Crush for the Deluxe Challenge) is extremely frustrating (happens in both browsers).

    On the plus side I’m happy to see a cap on hunger depletion when my pets are sleeping! Hope it really works!

    I have just logged into my US account and all my friends are missing from my phone. They were there earlier today. Have you made a correction somewhere and it has wiped the friends list? UK server still not working properly and can’t change pets or jump from room to room without it freezing. US server now working ok. Please fix the UK server as I want to get on and earn points. Thanks.

    I can not get Ms.Cowoline’s new game to work, is anyone else having that problem?

    The problem of greying out when changing pets or rooms is still on the European server. The US server is working ok now. I have one US account and one European account. The message is; Not Found

    The requested URL /undefined was not found on this server. Please could you sort this urgently, as I want to make new rooms with the haunted theme, but it will be a nightmare without it working properly. Thanks.

    I am super excited for these activities! I’m also really excited for fall. I can’t wait to earn that broom stick and that spooky pond!

    Why don’t the pets make eating noises any more? Why did the pictures go away when the pets request exercise?
