Online Worlds > VFK - Virtual Family Kingdom
Yay! The ride is great!
PrincessWendyBird:
OK, Astro, I wondered if I had missed the music yesterday. I sometimes keep my sound down if I have multiple screens open on VFK. "Marshmallow World" on three screens at the same time does not sound pretty! :P
I do love the new "Exit Queue" button. Nice addition! :thumb:
Flamanette:
Here's a nice tip if you are running mutiple tabs to be in queue for more than one color (you may already do this, but I thought I'd share) :
Once you collect your piece, you can re-join the line right away! Then what we do is actually get off of the ride (unless of course you want to continue....), refresh that person NOTE: use the back button, NOT the refresh symobol!!
This keeps your place in the queue, and we have found that it greatly reduces the number of total "crash outs" during the four hours of waiting in line. We have three active players to collect pieces for (Hero has actually already made his first ride...go Hero :2thunbs: ) so we are running multiple tabs on two computers.
Lest you all think that *I* am the brains of this outfit: this tip comes from the Flame man himself!! I can't take credit for, as I did not listen to him at first, and I continued to crash out last night.... :doh: :mad:

I have gotten stuck before on the host ride room not loading at all, and have used either the refresh symbol, or had completely logged in again --- I still had my same place in queue. (I really applaude :clap1: VFK for perfecting this feature of not losing your spot in line when dc'ing, crashing or completely closing the browser)
I'm just wondering then what the actual difference is between using the back button vs. the refesh symbol -- because I personally don't know?? :??:
Thanks for your help! :waveh:

I feeel like Charlie Brown. I read what it said to go to other rooms because some were giving out random well thats the jiff I got. Would you believe I got 16 right corners. I will be building a big circle. :rofl1: What are the odds if they are truely saying that the prize does change in some rooms to get all right corners. So I stayed on Fin's green ride all the time. Well the good news I can just buy the lefts :)

OK, let me try to explain the difference between using the "back" button and the "refresh" button:
I usually have four VFK windows open (four characters, as I collect the pieces for 2 active players). If I am on Flamanette's tab and hit the "Refresh" button, it logs on as the last person who I logged on as, which most likely was NOT Flamanette; so that makes the current tab for THAT person DC.
Using the "back" button when I am on Flamanette's tab takes me to the VFK log on page, and I simply log back on as her.
Did that help any? Maybe it works differently for different browsers, but I think Flame does it this way for the same reason...you don't want to log on as the last person you opened if you are running multiple VFK tabs.
