Thank you TAZ for your fast reply.

I have 'RELOADED' my farm (to use your words --- 'TO FORCE RELOAD MY FARMTOWN DATA') after I have seen that the 8th QUEST (or 13th CQ) has been completed with in the last 7 days and MORE than 7 days have passed since I started my QUESTs (or CQs) by either:

1) selecting the 'PLAY button' (button to the right of the 'SEND GIFTs button' at the top left of my farm).
2) clicking on the same farm that I am currently on (say farm #11) by using the 'boxes' in the upper left hand corner of my farm that corresponds to farm #11 in this example (3rd row of boxes, 3rd box from the left on row 3).
3) using 'CTRL R' .... to reload my FARMTOWN page.

My FARM does RELOAD in all 3 of these cases, however, my FARMTOWN data is NOT ... 'FORCED RELOADED'.

None of the above 3 things that I have tried changes the background of the CLAIM FARMCASH button from BLACK to LIGHT BLUE. The ONLY way I have been able to get the CLAIM FARMCASH button background to be LIGHT BLUE so I can collect my 2 $$$ is to restart my BROWSER.

I have also cleared my FARMTOWN CACHE MEMORY and that also does not help either. Clearing FARMTOWN CACHE MEMORY does not 'FORCE RELOAD' my FARMTOWN DATA.

I ALWAYS have to close my BROWSER and open it again and navigate back to my FARM to be able to collect my FT $$$ AFTER completing 8 QUESTs in 7 days or 13 CQs in 7 days if I am in FARMTOWN and I reach the required # of COMPLETED QUESTs to be able to COLLECT my 2 FT $$.

I do understand that if FARMTOWN kept updating 'data' in the background every X (say 30) SECONDS ... it would greatly slow down the performance of the game.
