That may be Facebook...it usually will clear up after a while. It is a new Home page they have been rolling out.

I've been trying to get to my farm all morning and get the same thing (loading user, then eventually times out and I get popups to click green to retry or red to reload).

This batch of FT and FB updates are not going well. Hope things are straightened out pretty soon!

This is a Facebook update that has been effecting a lot over the last few weeks. Usually takes a day for it to clear up. Just have to be patient as there is nothing FT can do about it.

Try using a different browser. I find that sometimes trying a different one helps. The one I recommend most is Opera since it also is Chromium based and not having the issues that Firefox and IE are having with gifts. No browser is perfect and sometimes pages just do not want to open.

I tried using a different browser (happened to try Opera) and it didn't help with this issue (farm not loading). It does help with the issue of not being able to send gifts and neighbor invites, but not with the problem of the farm not loading (which I'm being told is a Facebook issue, not a FarmTown issue).

Hope it clears up today because I think I have crops ready, and if I can't harvest them before bedtime they'll go to waste overnight (all of my farms!).

I suggest checking Adobe.com to be sure the Flash is up to date as well. Unlike Chrome, the other Chromium browsers do not use Shockwave, but Flash instead. And even though the automated updates to it sometimes have a check-box available upon installation they do not work. One has to install it manually instead. Be sure to uncheck the McAfee box if you already have security software installed (and you should!) and do not want Homescan to install with it.

i hired a low level player today......both boxes were checked........use my tools and use my fuel........they ran out of fuel and were not able to use mine..........when they came to my farm to h/plow there fuel tank was not visable...........this has happened often with farmers i hire.

Have experienced the same. my worker saying that their fuel isn't showing up... only when they are on their own farm does it show up.
