I wish more people would use the new feature in the market - click avatar, change status ro red if looking for work, pink if hiring. Sometimes I struggle to hire because of all the requests coming in. I suppose word will get round eventually, it's a really good idea.

The problem is most players don't read the announcements or even use the forum at all, so it takes a while for the word about a new feature to get around.

LOL - maybe when each new update came out, the devs could put up a pop-up telling farmers to go to the forum to learn about it, rather than just a pop-up giving us only basic details.

It's is just amazing the number who play this game in complete ignorance of updates or rules. So many of them have never, ever been near the forum, but they expect others to spoon feed them all the way.

I did have one neighbour tell me that she 'wasn't game to click on many of the buttons because she didn't know what they would do and she might lose her game'

I learned about this feature when I was at the Market by a farmer telling us why she was red (or pink). I have tried using it, but as mentioned, many do not know pink means hire. And when I use it, it tends to make Chat not work ~ because I do not have tree tools, I want to tell farmers what I work I want, not just say "available".

I have not been to forum, nor Market for a long time, hence my ignorance of the change. Which I like.

When that first came out I was just patiently chilling in the MP waiting for a job and suddenly noticed all these new beautiful colors and was like "coooollllll, I want to be pink too!" so I simply asked how they did that and nobody told me ( out of like 20 people ) and the only reply I got was "Becuz I'm an alien". to which I replied with one of my usual quick witted responses of "Ummm I could only WISH I was talking to a real life alien". And then I saw the word "ignore" typed in the chat box. hahahahahaha I LOVE helping new people when they have questions. We all had to start somewhere and learn along the way so why not just either not say anything at all or be kind and offer some friendly "helpful" advice. It's so nice when u come in contact with nice people on FT...It always reminds me why I still play the game...It seems lately there are so many negative Debbie Downers playing this game...I did learn a new word the other day on here though which literally made me LOL...some girl came to the 1st ( out of 13 ) and ONLY farm I had worked on so far and was like "Thanks Bit** for "SNARFING" up all the crops"! HAHAHAHAHAHA What?! Who says that...Upon an immediate Google Search I'll tell u 1 person --------> this girl ( we woo ( finger pointing over my head )) which I now incorporate into daily sentences about everything like "Hey Mom thanks for snarfing up the mail today ( which makes ZERO sense BTW) and laugh really hard and shes like WTF?! Oh FarmTown the joy u bring into my life!
