I've frequently had this problem as well. I'm resigned to the fact that Gamehouse won't fix this anytime soon, and that many coins/points are permanently lost.

It seems to be the status quo lately to not get points or coins. I didn't get mine today, either.

I also used 2 different browsers. IE8 and Google Chrome. I am afraid to buy any games, now. Why should I waste my Fun Tickets, either.

GH is usually good about crediting the Coins. But, they tell me that they don't know how to credit the points. How can that be? Don't they do their own programming. Aren't there "mysterious" IT guys in the background that make hundreds of thousands of dollars with at least a BA from some university for maintaining these type of programs?

They may be good at crediting coins, but if you are working on the 100 streak, they don't know how to credit the streak to keep it alive. Even if you can prove that you're streak SHOULD still be alive, you're screwed and have to start the 100 streak from the beginning. This has happened to me twice.

It doesn't look like Gamehouse has Risk at all, anymore.

However, I was told in no uncertain terms that, even if I can prove that I logged in , if the login didn't register, there was no way to fix it, and the 100 game streak would reset with no recourse. You say you keep track, yet that doesn't seem to really mean much sometimes.

First, I haven't played these Slingo games before, so I don't have anything to compare it with. But it seems to run fine. No lags that I can detect.

What's the object of this game? I've played about 10 levels and once I got the whole board and the rest of the time the game would be over when there were still a couple numbers up there. Is it just keep spinning, and does it make a difference how fast you find the number matches?

You get bonus points for fast matches.

I made it to the end of the game, and I didn't have any lags. Do you have a lot of programs running in the background?

My GH toolbar keeps asking me to sign in, but when I try, nothing happens. I get a screen to log in, but it never actually logs me in. I don't have Facebook. I won't be bullied into getting Facebook by anyone. Does this mean I can no longer get coins and badges?

Hours? Seriously? What is your connection and processor speed? It never takes more than a few minutes for me for even the largest games. If your fastest download times are still measured in hours, you need to consider upgrading your connection and/or computer. They should never take hours to download.

I think ManiacalZebra made it clear: If you don't want to see the ads, you may BUY the game if you choose. I suppose the "buy" button is there to give people that option. False advertising? How silly. The free game doesn't have anything to do with your membership. You can play it as long as you want; it's supported by the ads.

Exactly. Once a game is downloaded, it's yours. Period. The difference between free and buying is ads. If you stay with the free game, you will have to deal with the ads. If you don't want the ads, you can buy it, if you wish. You are under NO obligation to buy a free game. It's your choice as to whether you will put up with the ads or not.

If you want to keep playing the free game with ads, you don't need to register, ever. If you buy it to get rid of the ads, you have to register. It's not difficult. Free ->just play. Buy->register.

I sign into the main page daily to check on the free game of the day, but I just went from day 4 to day 1 again. Will the issues about sign in bonuses be fixed soon? This is getting really frustrating.

Thanks. I finally got "a" credit, but went from day 4 to day 1.

Update: Is it working yet? I've signed in several times today, but still don't have credit for today. I guess I'm going back to day 1 all over again.

I really hope this gets straightened out soon. This is getting very frustrating. We were promised an answer by the end of the day yesterday.

Just a quick update on the timing of the Daily Sign-In Bonus streak: I understand that our Development Team is working on an update to the program that will track the daily sign-in streak based upon a set 24-hour period.

When the change is implemented the 'clock' will be set to Pacific Time and I'll post details as to when that 'day' begins. I'll also provide some examples of when that 'day' begins in other time zones around the world.

I'll keep you up-to-date of progress in this thread. Meanwhile I wish you all a great weekend!

Cheers,
Bill

So glad to hear it! It won't matter in the long run what time the day starts. As long as people sign in every day of the week, the streak will continue without having to calculate what time they need to be on.

The project CANNOT be completed to get the Jenga trophy. It must be a work in progress for an earthquake to be able to destroy it. If all of your buildings are completed, you can't get the trophy.

The 24 hour clock thing is messing me up, too. It's actually making it take me longer to complete a streak because I sign in at different times of the day, so it can be nearly two day between sign ins, but the 24 hour clock will only see it as one. If a person signs in every 36 hours, it can take 7.5 days to complete a 5 day streak. For someone going for the 100 day badge, it could take 150 actual days to get it. It would be much better to base the sign in on the calender day rather on a clock, so people don't have to time their logins perfectly.

It started up right away for me, too. I could only last 15 minutes in the trial before it became too much for me. I'll consider buying it AFTER they fix this.

I can't get the pain totem torn down no matter what I try. I've seen the walkthroughs but nothing helps. I've hit it with lightning and put as many as 11 Adept and 2 Master builders on it but make no progress at all. Even getting level 3 in science, construction, and medicine don't help.
