Has anyone else noticed that changes you make to your WL are not visible to your friends? I swapped out items 4 hours ago and am still receiving gifts from previous WL. Both my sister, CindyO, and I have this problem.

Alieye, do add your info to the table! I check it regularly.
All of us should check the table when gifting.
The special help we had for a few days needed to end, so if you are in the table, and if you have changed your wish list in the table since July 19, please understand that the game server will not be updated with your changes.
Only G5 can fix this. ?
I have been able to identify a few friends who are affected just from observing in my game. For example, I have a friend whose list includes unicorn blood and a red lamp, and has been like that for 3 weeks. His position in my friends list has drifted way to the right. (indicating less activiity.) This player is still visiting me and gifting me. I have been sending him griffin feathers, claws, clothespins, lenses, etc. Other combining elements from those sets.
I hope that these friends are at least aware that their wish list is frozen, and I assume they appreciate my workaround. ?
Sent G5 an email. Got the standard response. Backing up at least once per day, and hoping (against logic based on past performance) that this will be repaired soon.
Have amassed a bit over 700 lions and completed the first 6 quests. Wondering if the fix will negate that?
Lidewey, your Lions are safe. Your inventory (and your progress, etc.) is stored in a small separate file on your device. The updates never overwrite that file. ?
Thanks Podaci for that info. This week hubby is on a business trip so I can be really selfish (since I really only have to take care of myself)and dedicate time to completing the challenge before school starts again in two weeks.
I need to add to that. There is something that would overwrite that file. If you were to uninstall the game, then re-install it, then accept the restart offer, that would download what is currently on the server to your device. For anyone who is affected by this problem, that would be old data. You would lose your Lions and all other inventory changes since you got the last download, and all your progress since then. So if G5 advises you to do that, please get expert advice first. (You would probably back up your game, remove it and reinstall it, and then restore the one file that contains your progress from your backup.)
Thanks Podaci, your advice helps mitigate some of the fears associated with continued play. I’ve got 21/30 special quests! Your help is immeasurable!
Thanks!!!!!! I had/hadn't thought of this. If this happens, then I will need instructions on how to restore the one file that contains the backup. Till then, patience, patience, patience along with laughing.
Thanks Buck! Be sure you read what I added about re-installilng the game. (That could be a problem. I hope G5 does not tell anyone to do that!)
I also have a blog post explainng the whole thing, as I understand it.
