    Game eats baskets

    Does anyone else have the problem of applying buffs to a friend, and not only do they not occur, but then entire stacks of baskets disappear? This has happened to me so many times that now I have to count the number of baskets in my star before I start buffing, and then count them again when I return to my island. I've lost at least 50 baskets and sometimes many more. Has this happened to anyone else, and is there any way to prevent it?

    What I think is happening based on my experience is this.

    Sometimes when you use a stack of baskets to buff your friend, they do not disappear even though the buffs take.

    That leaves a 'ghost' stack in your star.

    The ghost stack seems to be available and even works as if the buffs are dropping for you.

    If you go home it would disappear from star.

    That's something I hadn't considered. I had buffed a friend the night before, and everything appeared to go well, but I suppose it is possible that two stacks remained in my star even though they were really gone. I will have to count my baskets before and after I buff at night to see if any of them are really ghosts, and then count them again in the morning to see if everything checks out. Thanks for the idea.

    And sometimes the buffs dont 'take' even though you see the swirly lights. (when you go home and come back, it isnt buffed) Or it takes the basket but doesnt buff the building and you have to click it again so it looks like its taken two. From what ive seen it corrects itself once you go back to your island and refresh. Theres a slight delay as what youve done and what the server says sync.

    Good point. I was not aware of that one.

    Think there might be a slight bug around this though. I had the same thing happen and issued a ticket on it. BB sent me some buffs to make up for the lost ones if I remember correctly. Never got an answer on what actually happened though.
