I did buy the snow backdrop but that has been taken down as that only made the situation worse, more glare.
Hi All,
Here is some more information on adjusting the brightness of your screen for the snow glare if it is bothering you.
In my prior post, I had said that pressing the F2 and F3 keys would adjust the brightness on your screen. For some of you though, that did not work due to different function key configurations on different keyboards.
Sometimes different computer companies assign different tasks to the function keys. (Some desktop monitors may have adjustments on the monitors too.) I have found that Toshiba did that on this laptop keyboard. That is why it may not have worked for you. (Toshiba also did other things on their keyboard too that are not in the “right” places.)
On my old Gateway Laptop, it is under the right shift key, with the up and down arrow key there and I would have to press another key with it, probably the FN key. I can’t test it to tell you for sure, because my power port is broken on that laptop.
Here are some other ways to adjust the brightness of your screen.
-------------------------------------------------------
Look for a sun on your keyboard. Usually there are 2 keys with a sun with an up and down triangle next to it, to increase or decrease the brightness. If you find it on another Function key (the row of keys above your numbers), then pressing the one with the down triangle beside it will decrease your brightness, and pressing the one with the up arrow will increase it.
If it is not on any of the F1-12 keys, but you find it somewhere else, then it will most likely require that you press the FN key, then the up or down keys with the sun on them. On some keyboards it may need CTRL + the “Sun” key. Other combinations are possible too.
-------------------------------------------------------------
In Windows 8.1 if you swipe in from the right, and click on settings (the gear), there is a brightness adjustment there to slide up and down. Do this with your game screen up so you can see how the snow looks. :-)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here’s another way to adjust the screen brightness that should work for all.
In windows 8.1, In the Control Panel, under Power options, there is a place for Hardware and Sound, Then Power options, then adjust screen brightness. Way at the bottom of the box that comes up, there is a slider to adjust the screen brightness. Just slide back and forth until it is the way you want it. Do this with the game up on the screen and you can see the effect it has on the snow.
On Other versions of Windows, they may have it in a slightly different place, but it can be found in the Control Panel, so you’ll just need to look for it.
If anyone needs more help with this, just let me know. Have fun in the snow!

Also to think about on our server AU, we are going into summer so we already have sunlight glare to contend with and the extra white just adds to it.
Please just tone it down for us
Hard to find the people giving prizes fast. Miss most of them.
Vidio are kind of o.k. but wont watch the long one's at all.
The mast few days 1 grand or other piddley stuff. A waste here.
Got over 580 million so don't need cash. But newer people don't have much.
As for me make 2 Million a day/Tons of points.
just got to figure the best stuff to do for the most of both...lol
The popcorn cinema looks cool too, but the rewards from watching the videos are terrible and not worth viewing the videos for. Watching videos costs bandwidth and thus real life dollars, and I am not interested in exchanging bandwidth costs for a lowly number of fake bf dollars. I preferred it when I had options to choose from for the reward. The surprise boxes are bad - they give mainly a lowly number of fake dollars, which are not worth the viewing time and bandwidth cost of the videos. Maybe this cinema is good for players below level 20, but not for my farm that could have easily made more dollars while playing instead of watching the videos. That is to say, this is the ridiculous part of this cinema - in the same time I took to view the videos I could have generated farm dollars higher than the dollars I got from watching the videos...it is very uneconomic to spend time watching the videos.

I am not do much to suggest solutions that cost real money, but in your case, there is certainly not any way around it, as you have already made adjustments to brightness and even wear sunglasses.
I think (and hope) a sun filter on your computer screen can help you (also on other sites with lot of white)
I have try doing a search for sun filter for monitors and get a lot of links. - I hope you can use that idea
Note @bdreiish: Things don't look the same on different screens due to their different qualties and settings. Also condition of everyone's eyesight plays huge role. Somebody's "no problem" may be somebody elses "unbearable". And yes, the snow is shaded, not strikingly Ariel white. It will also be shaded based on the temperature setting of your screen as white results from basic colours balancing.
There's the list in support form.
I am not against the snow I have only asked that they turn it down a little, maybe only the AU server needs this due to our summertime.
BriannospamGame (SKN1) said: For those that are not aware you can change the background colors on Facebook with a simple extension that is available.
If that does not work for you, I would suggest contacting Support and asking them about it so you can get ll the nice features of the game. Happy Farming!
Hi, Hopefully a CM will see it and pass it on so the game can go back to the other ads and fix it so it WORKS!!!!!
I'm on the US1 Server, a Level 131 player.
Since the Nov. 3rd update and the change to the Surprise Boxes for the movie ads, playing Big Farm is no fun!! Just when I thought things were getting better and the movie ads would soon be out to all, GGS goes and messes it up AGAIN!!!! Yes, I am not happy at all!!!
Using Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11 OR Google Chrome-fully updated, and Adobe Flash fully updated, all cashes cleared, the computer fully shut down and booted u again and again, etc!!, the game has gone back to being VERY SLOW to process changing screens, harvesting and planting, white gears take a long time to go away, I've been abruptly logged out several times too, etc.
I HATE THIS!!!!!!
It is affecting my whole computer!! I know it is the game, because when I boot up and do not use the game, everything is great!!! Same with both browsers!! As soon as I use the game, all slows.... Same with both browsers!!!
A few days before the update GGS did something right!!! The screens were responding lightening fast compared to the past few months using both of my Browsers!! Just a little lag when changing farms, but better than it had been! WOW!!! What a difference it made in my game play!! I got a lot more done!!!
When I first started playing Big Farm (about March 2014) I'd click on the worker's gifts, as the number of them in a row increased, I would play a little game and click on one, then change farms and click on a new one and try to keep the numbers going as high as I could without missing one. I could do that then and in the 2-3 days prior to the update too!! It has not been possible for months before that-too slow!!!
Even the Ads where I chose 1 of 4 prizes were working much better!! The prizes there were nice too, IMO, even worth the extra effort getting thru the bugs! I was so excited about them coming out to new players and I thought that would be soon! the faster response time in the game was making such a great difference!! I was finally able to get something done!!! We were having fun with the added nice prizes, and the gold and finally able to do a little of the things that the rich gold players do!! Having fun with the Karma points, doing a few upgrades, etc. I even thought about trying to buy a little gold! I felt that the new ads, with choosing one in 4 prizes were going to be GREAT for everyone!! We would have more fun in the game, GGS would make more from the advertisers paying them and it seemed like a win win situation. I thought it would be out to all and VERY soon!!!
The Surprise Boxes are no good, a WASTE of my time, PRIZES ARE NOT WORTH IT, only 5 of them too, etc. as I know others have posted. GET RID OF THEM!!! THEY ARE RUINING ALL THE GAME PLAY!!!
I WANT MY FAST FUN GAME BACK!!! I WANT THE MOVIE ADS FOR ALL WHERE I CAN CHOOSE MY PRIZE FROM 1 IN 4, GOLD OR EVEN A PRIZE WORTH MORE THAN THE GOLD!! 20 OF THESE PER DAY WAS NICE TOO!! I've already lost 3 Co-op players too!! Come on GGS, get it together!!
Oh, and for the third time now, Support has just dumped my requests back to me without answering them!! The dumps don't even have the old info on them-like the automated replies do. So I have to try to find them and put them together!! One, I have e-mailed them about 3 times and still no reply!
Ticket#2015091410010785
I tried to get the 3rd Birthday e-mail voucher prizes within the 10 days and it would not work, pics included. Now I have to try again!! That is IF I can even get into Support!!! Something better needs to be done with Support. Let ALL players know not to send in a report about problems they know about and are working on, by having an alert on the Support Request page and on the News when logging in to the game-have a support Alert Link!
@CM Popeye Please let them know about this! Thank You!
I will post more about the details of the Surprise boxes not working and their prizes in a little while after I catch up on the posts!
Happy Farming!
I sympathise with you @gizmo22 - I live in Scotland and hate it when we get Summer events when we are wrapped up in woolly jumpers and scarves But I must admit I like the snow on my farm - much better than the real thing
@CM Nafaru & @CM Latten HELP!!
Logging in the morning after the Nov. 17th Update on US1. (You forgot to put in a discussion page for this update too) I'm in California, USA. Using Windows 8.1 and IE11-screens are VERY slow to load, once loaded I cannot move the Farm Screen, sitting low on lower right corner, so I can't get to all of my farm. It is not playable at all!!! I have cleared cashes and rebooted x 3, no improvement. Adobe Flash, IE, Google Chrome, etc, are all up to date!
Tried using Google Chrome, extremely slow too and only a green screen, cannot log in with it at all!!!
GC and IE were VERY slow to load the Forum too!
My Co-op members are reporting the same problems, man on the East coast of USA.
Please report this ASAP to the powers that be so we can play the game!!!!
**** Tried to let Support know, but keep getting an error screen, so unable to report to support too.
Firefox
@adoptapet (US1) this is an error message you can get if your workers refuse to leave after 1 hour. The problem is already known for a while now. We're still trying to fix those lazy neighbors.
