That storm is still talked about because of all the damage it did, but it swept across Florida. Irma is expected to go up the peninsula. If Farm Town stays online continuously over the next couple days, it may say a great deal about the power of modern servers and BACKUPS! (Although I'm not sure if just the development team is in Florida with the servers rented elsewhere or if both are there.)

Hi DanR,
Please check your experience amount against those listed in the Game Guide chapter 25 Levels and Unlocking:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=487994
You may not have enough Experience Points to gain the new levels yet.

If you want us to check you will need to provide a link to your farm. Going to your farm and copying the address does not work as that is a generic link that takes us to our own farms. The automatic linking does not work either so you will have to create one and paste it here in a reply. Please follow the instructions on how to do that are in the following link:

Hi Qivis and Mom Glenda,
The servers for Farm Town are not in Florida, so the game as well as the forums and Support should remain on line.
Slashkey is however in Florida and the development team has done all the preparations needed for their safety there. This means the other 2 facilities and any new release after this may be delayed.

Raul has posted the following tonight:

Post-Release Updates - September 8th, 8:30PM

- Released the Taste of France and Taste of Thailand Service Facilities. These were not the facilities we had intended to release next but these are the ones we have ready right now, and due to Hurricane Irma, we don't know yet when we are going to be able to complete the other facilities.

And no, we are not taking any risks right now to release these facilities, we are basically waiting for the event. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

What program are you using because I don't have that option in google chrome

Hi Lara,
You do have the ability to right click. If you right click quickly in the box that says "All Farmers" Then you can click to open in a new tab. Go to that tab and you will see there you can change that list of names to which ever list you want to use. Then on the far right select to Send the gift. When you have finished selecting who then click Done at the bottom of the page.
You do have to be fast before the box shrinks beyond being able to click on it.

1. Just curious. Why is Taste of Thailand using Express Checkout when the other Taste of facilities are using the Manual Life Truck?

2. Please be safe!!

Hi Kathy,
I am not sure why. The only reason I can think of would be to balance out the services between the 2 tools.
