No! You did not get hacked

Facebook started changing everyone’s profile to the username/vanity url.

So your profile which might have looked like:

Changed to username with a number behind, in the above example this is the 5030th Rebecca Davis on Facebook.

Both Profile URLs will work as the UID is a unique identifier.

Nothing should change for games you play as they all use your UID and not the vanity/username of players.

Did your account change ? Did you think you got hacked ? Let us know at our fan page.

General Current Issues Advice by Zynga CS

Howdy Pioneers, here are some of the current issues that we have identified, and advice on how to work past them:

Ginger / Free Gifts Page – Player say they can’t find Ginger in the Free Gifts Page.

• Ginger is halfway down the Free Gifts Page (just scroll down and you will see it) .

Country Fair hitbox too large – Players claiming they can’t click on anything because the Country Fair on the side board is too big.

• A refresh apparently corrects the issue.

American Moss – Players confused as to where t0 find it.

• It is a crop that is both in the Market and on Free Gifts page.

Fishing Pond Buy Button – Players are confused by the buy button in the market for the Fishing Pond thinking it costs Horsehsoes or Coins.

• The Fishing pond is free. You just click “buy” in the market to select it to place on your homestead.

Trees not growing – Players worried about the growth rate of trees.

• Trees generally take 2 weeks to fully grow on the Homestead
