babayaga67 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Even with the "click ten times" feature it still took about 3 minutes for me to donate 10 items (all those slow animations and having to load six different screens). Come on Neo! That is turtle speed compared to quick stock. I might not be able to get all of the boons that I want just because I don't have time to click all 12,000 items I want to donate. I raspberry at you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmerasta Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I've been trying to donate since yesterday but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Nothing happens when I click the yellow button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfish_willow Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Looks like the ten clicks trick doesn't work anymore? Or at least it isn't for me. It would be kind of annoying if that's a glitch or something they decided to "fix", getting rid of a slightly quicker way to get stuff donated. It's just going to take so darn long...

Neopets9738368 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Am I the only one who feels this donation process is one of the most painful things ever enacted on this site? I keep following directions, but nothing is working. I mean, for the love of god, they could make this process WAY easier and less steps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says to check the FAQ but I don't see it on there unless I'm completely overlooking a whole section.... I looked in the "FAQs" too, but couldn't see them listed, either. Was hoping to find out. I have all of the "clickable" avatars, so it would be nice to know if it is only for those, so then I could figure out if I'd need to donate for more points, or not. splitting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamentis12 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 @hrtbrk I'm not sure if this is a bug or what. But I just donated 10 Outdoor Pirate Flags, rarity 90, and only got 10 points. Also, last night I donated 10 Virtupets Energy Sabres, rarity 89, and also only got 10 points. By the math in the guide, I should have gotten 60 points for the flags, and 20 points for the Sabres. Do you think this might be a bug on Neo's end? Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I raspberry at you! Out of interest I just timed myself and it took 2 mins 13 seconds for me, no speed records for either of us then! The machine animation is a pain isn't it How are you doing things with having to load 6 different screens? I think I shaved a bit of time off because I keep the same item window open and have it refresh itself rather than add/shut down that window then click on next item. Also, I don't wait for the button to change to wait I think I'll keep it, I click it, wait a second or so then click the next item in my inventory, then hover over the button until the count beneath it goes up by 1 (usually only another second) before clicking again and go back and forth like that. Works pretty well as long as I do give it that second's pause between pressing the button and clicking on the next item. 12 hours ago, wolfish_willow said: Looks like the ten clicks trick doesn't work anymore?

I'd not call it a bug exactly as it's not actually affecting your points, call it a quirk, lol. It just shows as 10 if you give 10 of the same item, regardless of the actual points earned. (also 9 if you inadvertently give just 9, as I just found out, lol). You are getting the right amount of points though as you'll see if you do some timely refreshing before clicking the orange button.

MysteryAF Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The website is loading so slowly because of Charity Corner that I don't even feel motivated to do my dailies. I bought stocks, spun Trudy's, and collected my bank interest, then I hopped off. This event is begging for an overhaul. Neopets has been around for two decades now, they should have properly run events. I probably sound bitter, but come on. Having every web page on the site slowed to a halt is not the best way to do this. acmerasta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilley88 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I just spent hours using the JN SDB Price Checker to identify which junk items I wouldn't mind donating to the CC. And it only totaled up to about 1800+ points :( I guess I'll skip this year's CC and keep the junks for next year. At least I got the avatar.. so I am happy with that~ On a brighter note, I found valuable items in my SDB that I didn't know I have! Like a Magical Asparagus Chia Pop. I might use that on one of my pets one day.. lol To everyone who is still donating: DON'T GIVE UP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I'm trying with CC open in another WINDOW. I wondered if by doing that, rather than just going to another tab after pulling the lever, I'd not have the issue of the machine animation stopping once I navigate away from the page, and after one trial it seems to work...

I think they just copied that bit from last year, when they did show up in the FAQs, so I'm assuming it'll be pretty much the same list as last year as well. 6 hours ago, Robin Hood said: The website is loading so slowly because of Charity Corner that I don't even feel motivated to do my dailies.

Having every web page on the site slowed to a halt is not the best way to do this. Unfortunately, slow webpages are a side effect of increased traffic to said webpages. The servers just aren't equipped to handle this much activity, and the website slows down a lot. It's annoying, but also very common, and probably not something they're going to want to get extra server space for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellysundae Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Oh... I see a bit of goal-post moving has gone on here... The percentage reductions of people's left-over points from last year's a bit of a ... um... [insert word not appropriate for this forum] move, isn't it... The rest of that's too much text for my brain to be able to compute right now. acmerasta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, now that you apparently have to use 2 browsers to make this work: have you tried Firefox? That's the browser I've been using and I haven't had any issues. jellysundae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
