    Even though I was logged on and active my 2nd Happy Hour of the day did not register - it only showed the green tick after I logged off and back on.  This explains why I didn't get all 3 of yesterdays happy hours to register - I didn't log off for the middle one
    You don't have to log off and back on - you just need to be online at some point during the time period.  You should get credit even if you're logged in before the time period begins.

    I know what was said should happen - but it didn't.  I suspected something was wrong yesterday so today I took particular notice at the beginning of each happy hour

    See WascallyWabbits post in the mod news, you don't have to log out and in again, but you do have to be active (if only a bit) during that time. So logging in and going off to work won't work I'm afraid.

    If you had read my post you would have noticed I was logged in and I was active (very active).  The happy hour did not register until I logged back in
  • grrr (NL1)grrr (NL1) NL1 Posts: 664
    I've just noticed something that could be the cause, the Happy Hour timer in the right hand tab got stuck on 1 second of the first session. It's the first time it's happened to me but it does make it necessary to log out and log in again.
  • Been having the same problem Monday and then again today (now). Sure hope it gets fixed soon.

     according to the clock it was supposed to start at 12.00 noon till 3pm it has just started and it is 12.30 pm here in Queensland Australia although the world clock icon says it is only 12.00 noon ????. I must be very slow.....lol I have only just noticed..... 
  • Hi 
    The Fireworks booster seems to be broken
    I sill get only 12 UFO Parts from roses and 15 from apples even with 100% Booster Active

    Are you talking about the fireworks, or the happy hour booster?
  • garybaldy (GB1)garybaldy (GB1) GB1 Posts: 502
    The Happy hour booster is having no affect on my farm, event items are dropping at the same rate as without the booster .

    the happy booster is not working pppfff
  • grrr (NL1)grrr (NL1) NL1 Posts: 664
    It is working for me, doubling the event items + farm points on my farm, only on fields though, not orchards.
  • lthrrr (GB1)lthrrr (GB1) Posts: 1,665
    On my farm, the WWC items dropped seem to have increased but not the drops for the current weekly event (UFO), is this meant to be happening?
  • Uncle John (GB1)Uncle John (GB1) GB1 Posts: 11,004
    Maybe it's only on some servers. I'm only getting the normal 2 ufo parts with corn on UK1 and HH booster is showing at top of screen.   :¬(
  • grrr (NL1)grrr (NL1) NL1 Posts: 664
    Don't think so, event items drop has certainly doubled for me, happily clicking alfalfa for 2 or more UFO parts per field. You can still get the odd field with 0 drop though.
  • lthrrr (GB1)lthrrr (GB1) Posts: 1,665
    2 is the normal amount for alfalfa, so you are not getting double on those.

    Mmm, I remember differently but you could well be right. Did get 4 or 8 a few times. Whatever, still be done in an hour or so :)

    EDIT: just looked at @CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)  site and you are definitely right! Must be the relief of holding my place in the WWC after the last wheel finished :D
  • Are you talking about the fireworks, or the happy hour booster?
    I am talking about the Happy Hour booster the normal fireworks seems to work correctly
  • lthrrr (GB1)lthrrr (GB1) Posts: 1,665
    Hmmm, maybe 1 of our nice mods could pop on and clarify this for us? Pretty please? lol

    @WascallyWabbit@CuddlyFoxes

    Any One Please advise I have Wheat on all my fields which is pointless if the 200% booster is not going to work.

    PS. I noticed the same with the Fish Rep Booster at the start of the week, it was definitely not giving a 200% increase in Rep points
  • grrr (NL1)grrr (NL1) NL1 Posts: 664
    Another strange thing: aren't fireworks supposed to work only on the main farm?
    Just got double "horse points" for training them.
  • Not working :(((

    On my farm, the WWC items dropped seem to have increased but not the drops for the current weekly event (UFO), is this meant to be happening?
    If it is the case that the booster only applies to the WWC, what will be the point of a 200% booster later, as the WWC is now finished ?
  • Ok, thank you.  I started while it was on...very new.  Maybe just pushing 4 weeks now, so I wouldn't have even understood the timer was for the whole island.  Ok, well, for me, they just shot themselves in the foot.  No more gold from me for any 'temp' island.

    Gday Mee :D   yes im in Brisbane  QLD and i had a half hour difference as well..   
    Wascally Wabbit thank you very much for looking into it for me..  i'm sorry for any hassles    so confident i was on  but you looked at the times for me   much appreciated
  • happy hour booster is Not working, have screenshot showing that chickens are giving 3 photos, (pigs are giving 5) ... these are normal drops, not 200% added..

    Like many others I have not received Happy Hour bonuses although logged in and active.  The problem seems to be related to the third Happy Hour bonus of the day.  As a result I have a reduced weekend bonus.  It is very frustrating to be offered something which through no fault of your own you cannot get.  I tried logging out and in again as some have suggested but that did not work for me.  It also seems hit and miss as to whether you actually get bonuses - fields seem to work OK.  Hope this gets fixed soon or it will become a major annoyance.  I do think it was a nice idea in principle though.

     [Edit - I have just read Wascally Wabbit's help and the explanation that if you miss one time period the third one is not available but the second one is credited instead although it was the third one that you were logged in (and active) for.  This may explain what has happened to me.  However the logic of being credited for a period when you were not active but not for a period when you were active is lost on me.  Why not just credit or not in the correct time period?   I guess that this is related to the cumulative effect of the bonus but  the way it is set out is a recipe for confusion.]

    Looks like most of us are having problems with being "logged in" to the "Happy Hour" and not being accounted for the time period(s) that we are actually on in those times. Monday and Tuesday was mine. Wonder what the weekend will be like.. do we log on at the same times as the week or???...??? No description on what the times are for the weekend.

    The "drop booster"  says event items dropped, but must mean Obon event only as I got no boost, on alien event drops either.  Only lanterns and coins were boosted but not evidence or photos.
