This page is for updates to my site, Rachel's sites, and anything to do with the helps we offer for Cafe world.
8/1/2014 - at approximately 9 am pacific time, Facebook went down across the world. Yep, its been down about 20 minutes now. I bet everyone is in a panic. Time for me to go watch some tv lol.
2/1/2014 - while we work to get r1 back to full strength... here's a new backup server - http://rachelscafeworld.us/ - plz unblock ads on the new site. thanks.
1/31/14 - 7 am. We got the backup-served online again. Click here to get there. Remember this is a new website so you have to disable pop ups again. There are directions on the bottom of the Easy Buildable page or here's some quick directions for chrome that one of my admins made up for you!
To manually allow pop-ups from a site, follow the steps below:
Click the Chrome menu Chrome menu on the browser toolbar. Select Settings. Click Show advanced settings. in the "Privacy" section, click the Content settings button. In the "Pop-ups" section, click Manage exceptions.
1/28/2014 - 5 pm Update on the hack. It was bigger than we first thought. They got all 3 of my servers - along with a few million other servers of other people. Anyone using the control panel software I was using.. got hacked today - and their server was used to attack bank of america today at around 10 am pacific time. so yeah, my servers were used to attack a bank. I'm so upset im almost in tears. We are taking r2 down totally and redoing it. it will take a couple hours. then r1 is next, then my other server (backup server). Please be patient, this is a long process. We are working as fast as we can. You should be able to use r1 stil. I am monitoring the log in every 5 minutes. If I see unauthorized log in, I will shut down the server to kick them off. But then will be back up within a minute or so.. so you shouldn't be affected for long. It is the only way to stop them. I will let you know when r2 is up, then will inform you when we take down r1. - julie
1/28/2014 3 pm ATTN: I've just been notified by my server provider that r2 has been compromised. Someone hacked us We are working on fixing.. but It may be unstable.. and may go down totally. Please use r1 if you experience issues. I've been informed by the server company that I need to do a complete backup and reinstall... sigh...
why can't people just leave us alone.. we aren't hurting anyone
I will update as I know anything.
1/3/2014 Happy new year :) Today there is a "forbidden" message affecting the helps - because it is affecting the game. Sometimes the link you created will go to a "forbidden" page instead of showing the familiar payload success message. There is nothing we can do about this - just check your links carefully to make sure they went through. You may have to send a couple more out to get covered.. for me I sent out 5 asks for parts to my 6 pack of friends who help me out.. the first two went to forbidden, and the last 3 went to payload success - so i only got 3 out of the 5 from each friend. JUST BE AWARE that there are issues and the FORBIDDEN is from cafe world, not from our help page. There is a link to zynga support to click a bandaid if you are experiencing issues. It's here.
12/29/2013 - Hey guys! Most people use the helps correctly but a few of you are trying to use EASY asks (or easy build or easy catering parts) make sure you leave ONE SECOND between clicks so that each new link has its own time stamp. If you don't you won't get all that you asked for :)
10/31/2013 - no bugs reported in quest finder, so we rolled it out on server 1 too. yeah.. i know ... nothing to test it on :( but some day.. there will be.. and it will be awesome :) - xoxo - julie
10/30/2013 - NEW HELP!!! woot! you have no idea how long this took to compile.. but that's ok, it's not like I have anything better to do :) So go HERE.. and check it out. not a lot of use for current quests.. but maybe in the future :) AND awesome for old stuff (new players with all the old quests that haven't expired!) So go check it out! Everything on my website.. it now on Rachel's. Server 2 only for today. Hoping you guys can find any bugs we missed in testing and let me know, then we will get it onto server 1 too! :) go HERE. (and remember, if you find bugs, report them to me on the facebook page please :))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4 pm. all is well :) hopefully it will stay that way lol
update 3:30 - 16 minutes! just hang on gang, we are almost there!
10/22 update 3 pm. we are slowly reversing the bog. down to 36 minutes for lag. PLEASE STOP USING HELPS UNTIL ITS ALL CAUGHT UP!!! it will just help everyone if we can get rid of the backlog before we begin spamming each other again. Let the zmc catch up :) thanks.
10/22/2013 zmc update - at 1 pm pacific at 46 minutes lag. PLZ be aware that your requests are on a delay and quit resending them just cuz you don't see them! It would be best if everyone just quit using them at all.. it is SUCH a lot of work to take down the servers... sigh.
ALSO - when using any of the easy helps (easy ask on quest page, easy food finder, easy catering, easy buildable) you MUST click the button 1 second apart. Each click has to have its own timestamp or it will be duplicate of previous link not a new link.
example. at 12:31:43 I click easy ask button really fast 7 times. All 7 of those links will have the timestamp corresponding to 12:21:43.
Back in February when they blocked us, the links went to a timestamp system - which is why the Ask, Send, Catering, and Buildable regular help methods which all have 10 links.. each of those have a 10 second timer delay - necessary to make each of the 10 links on that page have its own unique timestamp... (First link is current time, 2nd link is current time plus 1 second, third link is current time plus 2 seconds, etc.) THE TIMER WAS NOT PUT THERE TO ANNOY YOU LOL, it was necessary to make the the links work at all! Because if you click again right away.. like in 3 seconds.. that timestamp is already taken in the first set of links. You must wait 10 seconds to click to start a new set of timestamps that have not already been used... you see?
So when we made the easy links.. we assumed it would take you 1 second to click - making our need of a timer unnecessary. However I am seeing dozens if not hundreds of people click the easy button over and over and over really fast - making each click create a link with a duplicate timestamp. You gotta realize.. you're only gonna get ONE of those. Yep. One item per timestamp. That's the way it works. So use the easy helps.. but count them. "Click" one - one thousand "click" two one thousand "click" three one thousand... etc. Give them a SECOND to make them COUNT!!! :) When I do that, my timestamp is 12:31:43, 12:31:44 12:31:45 etc. and then they all count.
10/22/2013 -10:30 am pacific time. We are 1 week exactly from last week's zmc slowdown and yes, here we are again, slowed down. We are at 35 minutes for return and getting worse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10/15/2013 - update 2:20 pm. Tests show things coming in instantly again. zmc backlog is cleared. I believe i know what the issue is.. but it is not something I have control over. Please use the helps responsibly :) thanks.
10/15/2013
update 12:40 pm. Due to about 2 dozen people refusing to read.. at 1 pm I am taking the servers offline. There will be a horrid backlog like last time.. and the few who are not listening are spamming the helps like crazy. maybe they need 200 of one item, they are requesting 2,000 because they aren't seeing the requests on the other end... ( they are not reading what I've been saying about zmc issues!). This is my only option. the ZMC will NOT recover if we keep jamming it full. PLEASE check apps center frequently to clear up in-game requests. APP center link is http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php
10/15/2013
PLEASE STOP USING THE HELPS UNTIL THE ZMC IS FIXED!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE SERVERS DOWN BUT I WILL IF YOU KEEP USING.. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ABUSING ARE SENDING FAR MORE THAN NEEDED.. CUZ THEY AREN'T GETTING THEM BACK INSTANTLY. THIS IS JUST HURTING THE ZYNGA SERVERS WORSE!!!!!
10/15/2013 THE HELPS ARE NOT BROKEN!!!!! the ZMC is broken... This has NOTHING to do with the helps - its all the ZMC! Sending your normal quantity will not work now.. and either they all go.. or none of them goes. Sending requests from inside the game do not work either.. except those do go directly to APPS. Please go to APPS and collect anything you can. This is almost exactly what happened beginning of September (scroll down to 8/31/2013 posts on THIS page to see that thread) .. this has nothing to do with the helps. Please don't write in to me ordering me to fix my helps... there's nothing to fix on my end.... STOP SENDING NOW or we will have the EXACT SAME BACKLOG we had in September. It took about 36 hours to clear that out! the more you send.. the bigger mess you will have when this is cleared up!!! (scroll down and read about it.. seriously.. it was a mess!)
9 am pacific time - delay on zmc items is 1 hour.
10: 23 am pacific time - delay is 1 hour 15 minutes
12 pm noon pacific time - delay is now 1 hour 35 minutes.
10/10/2013 - New ..uh.. helps? lol. So I have been working diligently for weeks and enlisted a few friends.. and we have re-vamped the food finder yet again. What this time?? Simple! Let's say you wanna do a catering mission.. but one of the foods is not in your cookbook. HOW do you get that food? Well, look it up in the finder, it will tell you EXACTLY where it came from! Quest, catering mission, buildable, random reward just for being a VIP - you name it, its there. EVERY food in cafe world now has the information of how to get that food. Look it up in the Food Finder!
9/21/2013 - looks like 4th anniversary is back :) However many are reporting an issue with nothing counting in OLD zmc links... well that would be cuz you didn't do the thing I told you to do on 9/18 where it says in RED - please read - then gives some instructions :) so go look for it.. I'll wait right here. Yeah, its that one, like 3 inches down on this page. You found it? Great! Your OLD ZMC link without the 2 will still show up.. but nothing will count when you accept that stuff if it doesn't have that 2 there. gotta change it :) Hope that helps!
9/20/2013 - about 1 pm pacific time.. the new 4th anniversary quest up and disappeared.. along with the 14x bonus freebie and the cook-o-tron - and many of us lost dishes (half my stoves were empty) and many of us had locked stoves.. and our cook-o-trons IN our cafe wasn't working even if it was the OLD one, and new one hadn't been touched. Also, the 20% bonus points on American Ready Steady are not counting..
Z support says they are working on it. This is a widespread issue. Here's some things I've discovered that will help. First, if you have your OLD cook-o-tron out, put it away, then bring it out again. Might need to refresh cafe.. but then it is usable. If you have locked stoves, do the same. put a couple away, and bring them out. it unlocks all of them. You cannot work on your 4th anniversary goals even if you know what to cook - I do NOT believe they count. I had some food on and when I served it, nothing popped up - no little black box in upper left that said i had served 10/65 of whatever it was... so for now just work on the RSC American dishes. The points you see in the cookbook are NOT valid. The points you see are with a 20% bonus.. you won't get that. However, the higher point value for the time you wanted will still most likely give you the best points. So you can guess as to what is best.. (or use a calculator if you want to get technical). Not sure when this will come back - its a zynga issue.
ALSO - there are MAJOR reports of spice crew, wedding crew, and buildable issues. These are hit or miss, and usually can be fixed with clearing in game cache (help button at top of game) + browser cache + invalid url fix. The reason for issues is.. this is first time many of us have done major stuff since the blocks 2 days ago - that were fixed - and the old codes are still embedded in our caches and browser history etc. Doing those three things should help... A friend of mine had the buildable issue, she ended up sending to me, and I collected INSIDE cafe (she sent using the helps) and she got them all. so if none of the above helps, find a friend to collect in cafe - cuz once a few of them went thru - they all started working again. HOWEVER you cannot even attempt this... until the goal comes back lol. If you have more questions - watch the facebook page or message me there.
9/18/2013 - got a text at 5:30 am that a fix has been found.. so I'm awake at my computer.. i must love you guys. Thanks to Maddy, Sandy, Travis, David and so many others who figured it out while I was sleeping! We are uploading the changes now, please stay tuned. I will post something on page when its all ready!
update 6:05 am. all links on both servers fixed and ready to go! Please Read ---> Don't forget to change your saved zmc links. its easy. on the bookmark, edit it, then where it says fb-zc-0 add the number 2 after zc. so it will say fb-zc2-0 then re-save it, and your alt zmc bookmarks will once again work!
9/17/2013 10 pm... scheduled maintenance will begin any minute.. and who knows what will happen after that! PLEASE be aware that the probability of the helps being broken once cafe world comes back up is pretty darn good. MAYBE the are just going down to fix some of the game issues.. but I seriously doubt it. anyway.. if you have questions, comments, suggestions, or are a hacker and figured out what they did.. message me on the facebook page. Please do NOT post on the public side of the page - the messages are private. I would still like to keep decorum on the page, regardless of what is happening :) Thanks for understanding! Now.. I will see you all in about 8 hours. Good luck!
9/17/2013
Well.... Scheduled Maintenance tonight. You all know what that means... The last two times they had scheduled maintenance, they blocked all the helps. LAST time.. someone named David stepped up and figured out the new code. Hopefully we will have someone step up for us again. I am not a hacker.. just a webpage maker :) I can do some of this stuff, but writing game code is beyond me. So.. im holding my breath, and hoping that IF they block us, it will be fixable. however.... if you are CLOSE to completing your current quests... slam them through guys, cuz you may not have ANY helps after tonight :(
IF the "helps" break - you can still use choose your own food, and probably clickable links. It will be midnight or 1 am for me so I won't know until I wake up.... use those until I know what we are up against. Watch here for updates..... my stomach is churning already....
9/4/2013 - LOOKS like our ZMCs are back to normal usage, YAY!!!! If you are in a"spice group" or a "ZMC sharing group" you may still have backlog coming through - and to you, I wish you luck. My small group spent 36 hours clearing our group of "friend" accounts from backlog - we all took shifts clicking ignore.. constantly.. for 36 hours. Yeah.. you've got a long road ahead of you are trying to do it alone. But at least the zmc is back.. and now my catering van shows my friends again. This ended up being a good thing, since it fixed the van, yay!!! happy cooking once again :)
9/3/2013 - THE ZMC BACKLOG IS DELAYING ARRIVAL TIME OF NEW REQUESTS BY AN HOUR OR MORE. EITHER WAIT ANOTHER DAY TO USE THESE, OR SEND ONLY WHAT YOU NEED AND WAIT FOR THEM!! DON'T MAKE IT WORSE BY SENDING OVER AND OVER THINKING THEY ARE NOT COMING IN.
9/2/2013 - 2:30 pm UPDATE - our test is ongoing. The first items showed up 14 minutes after test began.. and are starting to trickle in. I have also been able to verify that our HELPS are NOT affected by any game changes - however with the existing backlog still a problem, it would be BEST if you could hold off on using the helps for ONE MORE DAY to let the zmc catch up to all the stuff that went through it! THANKS so much for helping me out with testing, you guys ROCK!!!!
9/2/2013 - at 2 pm pacific, 5 pm eastern, 10 pm england time we will be running a new test to help determine where we stand on the ZMC. ONCE that test is complete, THEN we can try to see IF anything changed as far as the helps are concerned. PLEASE DO NOT USE THE HELPS UNTIL THE ZMC HAS CAUGHT UP!! it will just make it harder to catch up so we can begin working again! thanks.
9/1 update 1:50 pm. just checked - choose your own food IS working. the people you send it to (one person every 24 hours) must accept in app center. IF You have not cleared app center (see my earlier update) it will probably err out.. but I did check it, it did NOT err out for me, it is working, the food DOES make it to gift box. I know its not much.. im seeing what else I can find. Im kinda blind here, with no zmc to work with....
9/1/2013 - 1 pm pacific. Again, the helps are NOT broken. Yet. It could be that our lovely Z is trying to break the helps.. and in the process they broke the game. We won't know the extent of the damage until we get the message center back. Right now, the game is unplayable. You can send all the requests you need (like for goal parts) but they only go to your friends' app center, if they make it anywhere.. and very very few people are checking app center!
IF you can, go to your app center and clear your cafe world requests. MANY will err out, and it will be a tedious chore. If you haven't cleared in a while, just delete all so its empty, and then new ones coming in shouldn't err out. (I did that yesterday.. and this morning I answered 17 new ones and all worked) Stay tuned - if I get any more info I'll post again.
8/31/2013 - THE HELPS ARE NOT BROKEN!!!!! the ZMC is broken... no matter what you try. So here's how im doing it. I'm trying to send spice crew request. So I send one set of audience to my 4-pack.. wait one minute.. go check their saved ZMCs (many zmc in one browser) see if ANY showed up. Refresh the zmc a few times.. if nothing, I check 2nd ZMC of the 4. if nothing there, I send again. You are gonna have to send ONE SET at at time until you see if they took! This has NOTHING to do with the helps - its all the ZMC! Sending your normal quantity will not work now.. and either they all go.. or none of them goes. I've had a friend who had live support go chat with zynga support - they said they are working on it - should be fixed by tomorrow. Are they telling the truth? man i hope so...... Sending requests from inside the game do not work either.. this has nothing to do with the helps. Please don't write in to me ordering me to fix my helps... there's nothing to fix on my end.... thanks - julie.
8/30/2013 - Always trying to make things easier.. I re-did Rachel's home page on both sites. How do you like them?
8/24/2013 - as discussed months ago.. we have limited all TO fields to 10 IDs. that means you can only ask 10 people at a time for your goodies. We feel 10 is enough.. this will hopefully stop some of the spamming that is going on!
8/11/2013 - New catering help. Start at the catering finder..You'll see it ;)
8/10/2013 - so i've been working hubby again.. as you can see when you go to load a quest page.. there are links now. EASY ASK is here. Its a one at a time thing - works exactly like Spice Crew - hold the ctrl key, click as many times as you need.
and NOW - FOOD! Woot! head to Rachel's website and Search for Chicken in the Food finder. Go ahead.. I'll wait for you....
Did you see it? Awesome right? Complete directions on the new Easy Ask page on Rachel's site.. and also HERE.
7/22/2013 - I am having issues with buildable. old link, new link.. both are only giving one part at a time. kinda insane.. I wonder if they are making game changes again :( anyway, if you are having build issues.. you are not alone.
7/21/2013 - 3 pm pacific time - we are taking down server 2 (rachelscafeworldtoo) to try to move to the new server. It will probably down for several hours. move to server 1. I will post again when we are back online.
6 pm - back online!
7/21/2013 - we have purchased a new server, and are in the process of moving rachelstoo to it. late last night, too was still having issues, and we are tired of messing with it. For the amount we pay... well nevermind lol.
So JUST in case you are interested.. server 1 is being hosted in Los Angeles, and Server 2 will be hosted in Miami, Florida. Choose the one closest to you :) Not sure choosing location will be any faster lol.. its a beefy server like server 1 is now. I'm just tired of TOO going down all the time! (and I know you are too!)
7/20/2013 - new helps :) Easy Buildable! for those of you who struggle with the buildables lol. We revamped it, made it easy to use!
7/20/2013 - Rachelstoo is down .. again... sorry. Use server 1.
7/18/2013
Rachelstoo is down - has been for an hour and I don't know when it will come back up. We pay for a server at a hosting site, and are only up if their server stays up. I have the feeling its a hardware failure, since I can't get into the back door of the server, nor the basement (yes I tried) to reboot. Its like the host server doesn't exist... Therefore.. use R1 for now. we are working on a solution. This server host has allowed us to go down too many times in my opinion, so we are considering moving it. REGARDLESS of what happens, we should have R2 back online by Saturday at the latest. Thanks for your patience and continued support :) - julie
note: if you can't get server 1 to load, try rebooting your computer. message me if you need more help.
update: 5 pm rachelstoo back online.
7/12/2013 - as discussed about a month ago.. we are changing all the links over to limit entries in the TO field to 10 people. By now, everyone should have their set group, shared with each other the OLD ZMC link you made, and have access to the number of alternates you need. So when you see an error screen that says "you are limited to 10..." check your TO field to make sure you didn't put too many people in there, and try again.
We are trying to combat spamming - to save the helps. People being spammed without permission are complaining to ZYNGA.. and one of these days.. zynga is gonna shut us down because of that. So I'm doing this to help us all. 10 is a lot, and should be more than you need! I personally only use 6! So there you go.. if you see the message then cut down your request IDs. Thanks! Julie.
7/12/2013
New Crew Requester!! YAY !!! http://www.juliescafeworld.com/cafe-world-help/crew-requester
7/8/2013
For ready, steady, cook.. the cuisine of the week will not count if served from giftbox. it must be cooked!!!
7/7/2013 - NEW HELP!! on quick links page is a new crew help, underneath wedding crew. Go check it out!
Now that hubby has cracked the link issue, we will be converting all our single click helps (spice crew, wedding crew) to buttons and getting rid of the "click here"! Don't worry, you will know when it happens :)
7/6/2013
Yet another note about spamming. I've tried pleading, I've put up warnings, I've made bold statements on all the pages telling you to please ask permission before using your friends' facebook IDs. Yet there are still those who refuse to comply. So if you are getting spammed still.. and by spammed I mean more than 5 requests from the same person within an hour for the same TYPE of item (catering part, crew request, food item, etc) - and you have contacted them, but they refuse to stop... please send me their facebook ID in a message to the facebook page so I can deal with them. The BIGGEST spamming I am seeing right now is not for food or parts.. but for SPICE CREW requests. How hard is it to find 6 good friends to share their OLD ZMC link for you to use, so you don't have to spam your entire friends list? Come on people.. if NON-HELPS users complain to zynga, then we ALL lose our helps. Yes, even the NON-HELP users. How? cuz everyone else will quit and they will have no one to ask lol. PLEASE USE RESPONSIBLY!!!
(P.S. if you need help finding your spammer's id.. i made a page for that. How to find the ID of a spammer)
7/3/2013 - a note about spamming
I've been yelled at.. and in turned yelled back - about spammers. So here's a breakdown. IF it comes into game zmc and old zmc only.. then its a help link from rachel's site. (ask, send, catering...) or one of the OTHER help sites. IF it comes into app center THEN its a game link (from my site: send spice to friends, choose your own food... and in game: normal ask for parts, ask for builds, ask for catering parts, etc.)
SO if you think someone is spamming you in your game, cuz you have a zillion requests in your zmc from them, please check your apps, so we know what link they are using.
I changed the quest key inside of the "choose your own food" so when you see someone asking for food to complete "Is this a Hoax?" then they are using choose your own food, which is once per 24 hours. If there are a lot of those, then they glitched it when sending out requests (easy to do when requesting from too many at once) and none of them will work.
If you see xxx needs xxx to complete Baking Biscuits - that should only appear inside the game in the old and new zmcs.. and will not show up in apps at all. Those are the Ask/Send links. I've asked the other help sites to change their ask/send to something different than mine, so that we will know which site is being used to spam.
Hope this helps!
6/26/2013 - well at least they didn't go down at once!!! The server for server 1 is down now, when yesterday it was server 2! Wowza!
So this is why we have two servers lol. Just use server 2 and we will let you know when all is well again!
P.S. if you are still not able to get server2 (rachelscafeworldtoo.com) then do this: 1. Reboot computer and check. If nothing then, 2. do the Invalid Url Fix and check again. If still nothing then 3. open the site, and hit Ctrl + F5 key at the same time, forcing a cache clear of THAT page. If still nothing then just have to wait - might take up to 48 hours for that domain to repopulate throughout the internet.
6/25/2013
Oops... Rachelstoo domain expired. We are getting it renewed.. it might take a few hours.. Today is her birthday and I hated to bother her... but I knew time was short. So she went in and got it all squared away.. Clear your cache and try it again. For some, it will be as if its a new domain, and will take up to 24 hours to distribute throughout the internet. So either use server 1 or just keep trying :)
6/21/2013 - So here I was, a few days ago, pulling food to finish one of the zillion current quests, when I accidentally forgot to click the "i need parts" button again on the ask page.. and just re-used the same links. whoops! oh well, that was a wasted 3 seconds of my life.. or wait... was it? Are those more foods? nah... couldn't be! those links are used up!
Today, in messages, I received a tip from site user Jacqueline... that she has been using the entire set of 10 links twice.. and usually getting 13 or 18 items instead of 10. Here's what she said :
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but when using linkclump if one reclicks a box around the links you can get more items even when the links show clicked already. In other words while waiting for the timer I reclick all the links another time or 2 and get maybe 15 or 18 items instead of 10. It also as I said uses up the extra time waiting for the timer to reset and also Rachel's servers don't have to create as many links as you are using them twice. I can get 200 items out of only 120 or so created links.
Then she followed up with:
I just did a test and got 20 asks by clicking on the 10 links 3 times!
And then I realized... those extra items I got.. were real! It wasn't my imagination! We can re- click our link sets!!!
So here's what I want you to do. Make a set of links.. then using your linkclump (or multi-links), open them all until the links change color (saying they've been used) then do them all again, re-opening the same set of 10. THEN go check the other zmc and see how many came in! Go back to the facebook page and comment with the number you got out of 10 links! Are you only getting 8? did you only get 10? did you get 12? did you get all 20???
Experiment time!!!
6/21/2013 - new page added to the QUICK links ... please share it with your friends who have not yet tried the helps because they are too complicated.
Using the Helps - A Complete Guide.
6/12/2013 - Well thanks for letting me know what you think. We will be working on limiting the ask box to 6.. meanwhile, a user wrote in her solution to being spammed, and I love it! She accepts ONE request, then x's out or clicks ignore on all the rest. If everyone does this.. then that person will soon realize that spamming isn't working for them, maybe they should either find a 2nd account they can access from a friend or family member, or ASK PERMISSION!!!! No one wants to be spammed without permission. So don't help them. Write down their name, and when you see the requests later in the day, ignore them. all day long. Give them one freebie per day, then just delete. If it becomes worse, you can try unfriending and blocking them on facebook, tho some have reported to me that the spammers still have the ids and use them. So for now, just ignore all those requests from the spammers. Let's not honor their greed! :)
6/11/2013 - new help :) thanks hubby for this one, a user Travis for coding, my friend Brooke for testing and coding, and Charlott for testing! go see it !

Hello again, its your favorite pest, buzzing in your ear :) So here's whats going on. We still are having some issues with spammers - people using the "ask" link to send massive requests to random people on their friends list without asking permission of those friends, regardless of being told not to, regardless of the huge message on the ask page forbidding it. I realize this current flood of quests in game is getting people antsy, and we are all bending the rules to get our goals done. Well.. knock it off (if that's you) lol. So I was thinking of limiting the number of people you can ASK an item from, to 6 people. That way, one person is not asking 40 people for a thing 10 times at once. He or She would only be spamming 6 instead of 40. And yes, there are a few people using 40 commas on the ask page, with 40 numbers pulled from their friends list, spamming 40 people. One or Two people will ruin it for all of us.. and we don't want that! So here's what I propose.. I'm going to ask my programming team (hubby and Rachel) to limit the "request" box (that's the 2nd box on ASK, CATERING, and BUILDABLE) to 6 numbers with commas in between. My question to you (this is where you go back to the facebook page and answer) is.. is 6 enough for the normal person? The reason for 6 is that is a good sized catering team. If you have 6 really good catering buddies, as a team of 7 (including yourself), then you can ask for catering parts from those 6, ask for food, etc. I can't see a catering team of 10, there aren't that many usable slots in your catering crew. Is 6 a good number for the normal, non-spamming player? or do you need more? If you need 40... well.. then we need to talk. Please go back and answer now, I would love your input. You can comment below the question on the page but PLEASE KEEP IT VAGUE!!!! we don't like to give away our secrets on facebook :) If you need to comment more specificially, send me a message. I'm always there to answer you! (at some point when I get there... lol) Thanks guys, I look forward to reading your responses! I'm just trying to keep the helps going, that's all I do :)
6/6/2013 - Good Morning folks! I've been messaged by quite a few that Rachel's sites are performing sub-par. Guys, normally we have one, maybe two quests to work on at once. Right now we have 14. Its insane... PLEASE be patient, and understand that Rachel's servers are of course a bit taxed.. but Zynga's servers are probably flat out overwhelmed. Remember, we are not the only "helps" site - and other people besides our group (though we are the most awesome group) are sending millions of items through z's servers as well. I truly believe it is ZYNGA that is taxed beyond its limit.. not Rachel's servers. The Cafe World game is not meant to handle the influx of items its receiving in its ZMCs. That being said.. its obvious to me they are doing this to either 1) Make us quit cuz we can't get it all done.. or 2) buy out goals cuz we can't get it all done. Don't buy into their desperate attempts, cafe family! Just pick one quest (I'm going for China) and ignore the rest unless you get that one done. In order to complete anything, since z's servers cannot handle what THEY started.. we all have to be choosy on what we do. And remember.. R1 is a bit more robust of a server. if you have exactly same issues on R1 and R2, then its not Rachel's servers at all, its zynga being unable to deal with their game :) So take a breath, go slowly. Change your auto tab close in linkclump to 20 seconds for the duration of this massive mess - it will help. Try to accept things from your inbox every 10 items.. I know, tedious, but necessary. Our ZMCs cannot handle 30's and 40's and 50's stacked right now.. it is just chucking them! You will have more success by collecting smaller numbers. And it may take longer to collect every 10.. but if you try to collect every 50 and only get 10 anyway, what time have you saved? This will all blow over soon.. Once zynga realizes we aren't going anywhere.. and no, we aren't buying out your goals... they will go back to the norm - one large quest, a supplemental stove quest, and maybe a tough chef thingy on the side. Hang in there guys! - xoxo julie

Thanks to a ton of work by Giselle and Elisa, who sent me a huge list of catering missions and their corresponding foods, and Brooke and Pam for helping with editing, we have a catering DATABASE now! Yes! I incorporated my catering parts list with the food list and we tweaked it and fixed it all up (thanks to hubby who wrote the program on this one!) and now its ready for your catering enjoyment! Anything you ever wanted to know about any catering mission is at your fingertips! Go Here for more info!
5/19/2013
I've received off and on quite a few complaints in the last two weeks of things slowing down, not all items coming in, only 20 out of 40 foods coming into gift box, etc. So I went into all the links (ask and send) and changed all the variable codes, to "refresh" them. Not only are they changed, each server has its own code now (they were copies before). So when it seems Ask on Rachel's 1 is slowing down for you, switch to Ask on Rachel's 2. If neither of those are giving you 100%, then switch to Send on one of them.. Basically, we have 4 totally different links now to use, instead of 2 links and their clones. Please let me know how this is working for you :) - julie
P.S. if you seem to be having issues after the change, clear all the caches in all browsers you use the helps with, it should fix it! If all else fails, reboot your computer, that will clear it lol
5/10/2013 - Today my website went down for around 8 hours. The domain provider, Network Solutions, had no answers for why their system disabled my domain. Yes, they see that I paid the $37 renewal fee, yes, they admit it was paid 2 months ago, No, they don't know why I was disabled. Here' lets put you back up temporarily while we investigate... Ugh. I'm so upset.. and so very sorry you were left without back up. I shoulda posted backup yesterday, I had a feeling....
anyway, its coming back online for a few people at a time.. hopefully will be completely back soon! Again, I am sorry.
5/01/2013 - I've had it lol. We just purchased and installed all of Rachel's helps on a new server. So when you go to quick links page, you have server 1 and server 2 options
Server 1 takes you to Rachelscafeworld.com - and server 2 takes you to Rachelscafeworldtoo.com
On the tab that you go to, there will be a little icon, R1 or R2, so you know which server you are currently using!
If one seems slow, try the other one.
These are NOT hosted at the same location, company, or related in any way, so we should NEVER have both go down at once again :) NO MORE DOWN TIME!!! YAY!!!!
Go to the Quick Links page and click on a help to see the new server links. Happy cooking! - julie
4/30/2013 - just rebooted the server 11:40 am pacific time. if you still cannot get in, please message me :) thanks!
update - 11:50 - if you still cannot get in, you need to FLUSH the DNS in your computer. do that HERE
update - noon. A few still having issues. But they are able to get into her actual IP site fine.. so after rebooting the server, it is taking a while for her domain to connect. so try this ONLY if you cannot
get into her site the normal way. Click this link - then click any link on that page. If you can see that page, her site is working for you, just the domain is having issues.
link removed.
4/24/2013 - Rachel's server is stable, so I let my friend have his website back. if you can't get on Rachel's pages on the back up site - go to her main :) happy cooking!
4/23/2013 - 1:30 pm Ok I have been having a lot of people writing in about the buildables not working with new all-in-one-browser method. So someone just sent me a message that the BUILDABLES ONLY are the thing that is the issue - and no, I don't know why, but I'm sure its something with the coding. So here's what you do - do ask, send, catering, crew on the new everything in one browser method.. and do buildables the old way - send your requests like normal and then log into those accounts and accept them like we used to do. Please test this and see if you are finally getting more than one at a time!
update 1:50 pm - One more person just wrote in who tried both ways.. nothing came in using same browser method, all came in using the old way where the alternate logged into facebook and accepted in zmc on that separate browser.
so the MANY BROWSERS IN ONE ZMC METHOD DOES NOT WORK FOR BUILDABLE PARTS - gotta do buildables in separate browsers!
4/18/2013 8:40 pm - Rachel just got a notice from her hosting provider - its not good news. her server may be spotty for a couple days - so just keep trying either hers or the backup site - there is nothing else I can do. here's what they said
"We are still working on some networking issues.
One of our uplinks is not behaving correctly after the outage: several servers are affected by the issue. We hope to have it resolved soon."
4/18/2013 - 3:40 pm update - hosting company got back really quickly to rachel's demands for help lol - they rebooted her and it looks like shes up - its moving really quickly when I tried it! I am LEAVING THE TEMP SITES UP FOR THE WEEKEND.. just in case :)
by the end of the weekend we will know if the server has stabilized from whatever hit the host today that took down not one but two servers ... the backup was a separate server...
4/18/2013
Rachel's server and our back up site both went down today.. It was hosting site .. again.. (back up site is hosted with same business) ...sigh. Anyway, we are back BUT crawling. I am attempting to reboot her servers now.. but its loading so slow its timing out... be patient guys, just keep trying :)
Meanwhile.. scroll down to 4/12 dates and find the back up sites.. I forgot to take them off last night.. so use them today if you are crawling . will update soon!
4/17/2013 - Two things today. First of all, the temp site will be shut down later today. If anyone hasn't moved bookmarks back to Rachel's site, you better hurry up :)
Secondly - I have a NEW help - a friend Brooke sent this new tip into us - it is a method to use ONE browser for EVERYTHING as long as you are only working one cafe. For example... I (Julie) only run my cafe.. but I use 3 other accounts of my family members to help me get the items I need. Instead of logging into other browser types ( Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome incognito) to accept requests I sent to them.. I now can stay in Chrome ALWAYS, accessing my 3 family members ZMC from CHROME while still logged into facebook on ME, and never leave, never log into their facebook, never bug their account again after I set up this method. You only need to set it up once and its good forever.
HOWEVER - the setup is HARD if you are not computer savvy... I have made a picture walk-thru - and I will be available for basic help - but if it looks too hard for you, PLEASE just skip it. There is NO WAY for me to do this for you... not possible.. so its your choice! Good luck!
Access Many ZMCs in same browser
4/14/2013 - Rachel's food finder is back online - with some cool new features :)
4/14/2013 - Clickable Links is back online.
4/12/2013 - Rachel got her new server back online, and we are running through tests now. please be patient... I know finder and clickable links are still offline - finder is super database intensive... we are working on it- hope to get fixed before she goes away for the weekend.
*** update - she had to go, so clickable links and finder are gonna have to wait until she gets back, but she got us back everything else :) what a sweet gal! Hope she has a good time this weekend.. she's all stressed out. Working and going to school full time is hard on a person :) Will update again when the last two helps are back online. - ONCE the last of the helps are back online, we will be shutting down the helps on my friend's site... fyi.
Go to the Quick Links page for the old links if you changed your bookmark. Those are correct again.
4/9/2013 - added Turkish Mementos build to buildables on the temp site. It is a lot harder to add on this other temp server - has to be manually hard coded into her page - so I took a GUESS at what it might be. If it's wrong, i'm sure dozens of people will let me know :) If it's right, then when it releases, you can work on it without waiting for me!
4/9/2013 - final update - the web hosting server provider got back to rachel - it was a hard fault and they had to give her a whole new server - so she has to rebuild her entire website from scratch. Gonna take a bit guys, so keep watching, I will let you know. I imagine this weekend, when school and work are over for a couple days.
4/9/2013 10:45 am - last one for today - CREW is back online - temp site - link removed
Rachel stayed home from work after her morning class to get this up, so please remember to tell her thanks if you can!
Clickable links is not gotta make it back online to the temp site - there's too much re-programming to do for the small amount of time this temp site is up... so... sorry guys, no clickable links until rachel's main site is back.
AND - finder is same way. until her site is back on its own server, just use my food page instead of hers. Sorry!
4/9/2013 10:30 am - CATERING back online - new temp site link removed
4/9/2013 10:20 am - SEND back up - temp site - lnk removed
4/9/2013 10 am - BUILDABLES are back up - new temp site - lnk removed - i realize many are missing. this backup was 2 weeks old. added sunflower and istanbul week 1 - if anything else is missing that you need, you know how to get ahold of me!
4/9/2013 9:30 am - ASK is back online - here is new TEMP site. lnk removed - will post more as Rachel gets them working
4/9/2013
Hi! yes Rachel's server went down sometime this morning. She has contacted them to reboot it - normal response is 24 hours.. yeah i know bummer. However we are trying to get something patched up and working. I will post on the fb page that its time to come here and get new addresses.. I'm hoping it won't be long... these will be TEMPORARY until her servers come back online. I am borrowing a friend's server for today, just get get the helps going again. so as soon as they are reconfigured, I will let you know. meanwhile, if her server spontaneously begins working again, please let me know so I can stop working on the back up plan! :) - xoxo julie
4/8/2013 - An open note to all other help sites. If you use a help site other than julies or rachel's, please pass this on to the admin - its important!
Today I got yet another complaint from one of my users that they are being spammed with spices. Not just instants, there's megas and quests - whatever - you name it. These people are fed up, and I know these requests are NOT coming from MY SITES!!! I detest free unlimited spices - and here's your two reasons why. #1. Spices are z's moneymaker. When they see spices running thru inboxes they KNOW there are cheats! So they are letting food and parts slide.. for now.. but SPICES will tick them off and they will SHUT DOWN ALL HELPS AGAIN. And it won't be my fault!!! I don't allow spices cuz I know SPICES WILL KILL US!!!! #2 - there are people who think all of our sites are CHEAT sites and are writing in to zynga to complain. They get 4 or 5 different food requests, they may not notice them as much, or will let them slide. But if they get 50 spice requests from same person.. then another 50 from another person - THEY ARE WRITING IN TO ZYNGA TO COMPLAIN!!!! So Zynga doesn't notice the food as much - cuz its so many different items - and they don't notice parts - same reason. but they will NOTICE THE SPICES!!! And players don't notice the food and parts for the same reason! but they NOTICE THE SPICES!!! Please, I beg of you, if you care about allowing the helps to stick around as long as possible.. please please STOP ALLOWING UNLIMITED SPICES ON YOUR SITE!!! It's not worth it! Food is easy to get, and doesn't shove the fact that we are cheating in zynga's face. Please stop before it is too late!
P.S. - this of course refers to unlimited spices using ASK or SEND, not the send your friends one spice daily link. That one is still fine, because its nearly impossible to abuse, and it uses z's own internal link.
4/8/2013 - today I am a bit (ok, a lot) discouraged to find my complete website copied, and the copier didn't even bother to remove my name (juliescafeworld) off of the food page.. sigh. Disheartened? Yes! Pissed off? YES! Will I let them break me, NO WAY. My goal all along was to help people. Is it a bummer that many are being helped by me though someone else is getting the credit? You bet! But I'm still helping them.. even though they don't know it, lol. I've posted on my food page and other pages, please link to my site instead of copying.. obviously no one pays attention to that, and copies away. Ticked off? Yep. But it just goes to show.. I have a lot to offer, or no one would bother copying me, right? :) After all... If I didn't put it all up in the first place... there'd be nothing to copy :)
So as of today, I'm going back to the old, copyable system. No more pics of names and GIDS, which made them less copyable.. They got around it with some sorta convert pic to txt software.. so why am I making life harder on me and you guys just to keep THEM, who bypass my blocks anyway, from copying so fast? Oh well. Back to old system where you can highlight the GID# and paste it into Rachel's helps. Since I can't stop them.. I might as well make it easier on YOU GUYS :) So I will be redoing other pages where I have blocked copiers.. and make my lists searchable again. Why not.. they already copied me entirely.. the damage is done. So I will make unsearchable lists searchable. I would imagine several more sites will pop up now... because some people have no issue with claiming credit for others' work. But I will close my eyes and focus on the 4,000 or so people who appreciate what I give them, and support me with words of thanks. You guys keep me going even though I'm incredible discouraged. Thanks for keeping me motivated not to give in! xoxo - julie
4/6/2013
Hey everyone.. I have been informed that there is a site out there now offering unlimited spices. Yay for you... right? Use it at your own discretion.. knowing for certain that spices will be the downfall of the helps. Why? Think about it.. 200 foods of same type coming into your cafe - well that's actually something the game offers legitimately (sell to dale, send to neighbors, get it back). Where in the game can you get 200 spices at once? Getting your buildables completed quickly. That's possible in game up until the posts go over 8.. just have a really dedicated set of friends standing by right? But where in the game can you get 200 spices at once? Complete all your asks and posts for goals.. also something you can get done with a dedicated group. Where can you get unlimited spices in game??? SPICES are the way zynga makes money. If you get free spices, zynga is gonna shut down the helps to stop the money slipping through their fingers.
Oh, and by the way, three people have written in over the past 6 months, that have been banned for "using helps" - and when I questioned them further, all three were using a different help site, pulling spices.
So spices CAN get you banned.
Happy spicing :) I will miss the helps when they are gone.. - julie
4/4/2013
Ok, once again, reports are coming in that people are sending unsolicted requests, dozens or hundreds, to their cafe friends, usually for food you need. I have warned you guys that this CANNOT happen. YOU HAVE TO STOP!! AND if YOU are getting bombed with requests by the same person, without their permission, PLEASE CONTACT ME on the facebook page so that I can address it, before you get upset at me or my site and do something drastic, like post pictures of the helps, or pictures of Rachel's site, or other stuff all over your wall that might hurt a lot of people.... I can STOP the spammers, really I can :) So please please please contact me instead of getting the helps taken away for all the good people who are using them correctly! thank you. Contact me by clicking here and then clicking the message button.
4/2/2013
I've had about 8 people write in that buildables and catering parts are coming in one at a time.. but they work fine for me and most others. So here's some things I KNOW will affect it, that you should try. First, make sure secure browsing is disabled in account settings on facebook. Second, make sure cafe worlds right to post on your behalf is removed in app settings on facebook. (there are walkthru with pics for these on the choose your own food page below the food list if you need help). If you are still having issues, do a cache clear in your browser, then REBOOT your computer. Try again. If still having issues, do the three things in HELP on your game (in-game cache clear, empty gift box, reset daily counter) then try again. If still having issues... try a different browser on same computer, then try a different computer same house, then try going to the library - so you can narrow down whether its a problem ON your computer, or WITH your account. Once you have done all these things, go BACK and check that cafe worlds right to post on your behalf is removed still.. for some reason that thing has been adding itself back on my account. THEN send me a message on facebook to see if i have any more ideas :) - julie
OOPS, forgot something vital. try accepting ALL parts in OLD ZMC ONLY, not new zmc, and see if that helps! link is right below the current quests - access your zmc!
3/29/2013
Rachel is home, so I had her update her food finder page to show all ungiftables with bold red pop up - (I didn't know how to update that part....) so the finder is now current with ungiftables. If you don't like the asterisks on my food page, then you can search for your foods on hers :) it gives cook time as well, for every food in the cookbook! Happy cooking!
3/22/2013
updated my food page to show ungiftables in the list, with asterisks after the food, instead of in their own list on top (cuz people forget to watch for them :)
3/16/2013 - a very nice player asked me very nicely to make a firefox walk through for its version of the multi-links opener. So I did. If you need help with the firefox MULTI-LINKS to open all the links on rachel's sites for you, then click here for that walk through. FIREFOX ONLY.
3/10/2013 - here's a firefox add-on (send in by Kelly) to close tabs like linkclump does for chrome. DO NOT ASK ME HOW TO USE IT!!! lol. sorry but im strictly a chrome girl now :) but check it out for yourself :)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multiple-tab-handler/
Also - thanks to Helen for catching this - crew was still set to 20 seconds. thats been changed down to 9 like the others :) enjoy the helps! and don't forget to thank Rachel once in a while with a few bucks for a coffee :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3/6/2013
Because of the new extension, and Rachel's helps working so quickly again, I asked Rachel how to back off the timer. She walked me through it - the timer is now set for 9 seconds in between button clicks. Regardless of what it says.. you should be able to click every 9 seconds now (it used to be 20 seconds - 9 is the lowest we could go and the program still function). Please message me if you have clocked it and its messed up - or if anything is messed up lol - I may have screwed something up! :) - julie
this applies to Send, Ask, Cater, and build
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3/4/2013 - ANOTHER update thanks to Paul - who discovered you can make the linkclump program close those new tabs by themselves!! Saving tons of time! I added 3 new pics to the walkthru to show you how to do that. This method is now almost automated like the old Rachel's sites - before z messed us up :) Yes.. today is a good day!!! Click here to see the walk thru again, scroll down to STEP 7 for the new pics!!!!
3/4/2013 - whoa! I FOUND AN AMAZING HELP!!! if you are using chrome, add the extension "linkclump" to chrome. then you right click and drag a box around all the "click here" links on rachels page.. and open up all 10 links at once, and completes them for you without clicking on address bar or anything else! :) try it! I made a walkthru here.
It makes her helps almost as fast as the old method!!!!
Thanks to Barbara - here's the same extension for FIREFOX - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-links/?src=userprofile
3/3/2013
Rachel is coming home for spring break in 3 weeks! Yay!! If there's a help you can think of that we haven't covered - send me a message on the Facebook Page. Note, I will NOT be doing spices (see my post on this page about spices - right below the 2/9 post just a few paragraphs down) nor will we do the other crew requests. But can you think of anything else she hasn't covered? Check out the quick links to the helps page to refresh your memory on what she's got working right now - then message me if you can think of something! - julie
2/27/2013 - Group admins - please share this post with your groups. I would appreciate it. -Julie
I realize this doesn't apply to everyone.. but it has to be said. It has been brought to my attention that some people are using cafe friends' IDs to request items/food from them WITHOUT PERMISSION - mass spamming requests to another just because they can. Not only is this very rude it is also dangerous -both to the person who is spamming and the one getting spammed. WHY??? First - to the person getting spammed with requests - you are still only allowed 200 requests in inbox (ZMC) so all the normal requests from the normal, nice, not greedy friends are getting bumped. So they think you are ignoring them. That's not true - but they have no idea why you never answer requests anymore... And to the person sending out the uninvited requests - you are going to lose all your friends. How? Because I'm telling people to block you. Yep, unfriend and block you. You are being rude - and the only person we are taking crap from right now is zynga - because we have to - because we are addicted to the game. So knock it off or you will be unfriended and blocked by everyone you spam. Your choice. Lastly - many are SO UPSET by being spammed that they are threatening to go to zynga with the complaints. Which will get us all shut down. So please, please please - get permission before you request items/food/parts etc. from your friends. Let's all keep this going as long as we can! Thanks - julie
P.S. I am asking anyone who is receiving mass spams from a cafe world friend WITHOUT PERMISSION to UNFRIEND and BLOCK the abuser. Its up to you whether you message them as to why they are no longer your friend. And up to you whether you message them and give them another chance. But this insanity HAS TO STOP. So please, unfriend, and block. Eventually, hopefully, they will get the idea.
I HAVE ADDED A NEW LINE TO THE ASK, BUILD, AND CATERING HELPS PAGES ON RACHEL'S SITES. IT SAYS "DO NOT SEND REQUESTS TO FRIENDS WITHOUT PERMISSION!" READ IT, AND FOLLOW IT.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2/24/2013 - issues with items stuck in ZMC - thanks to Brooke for all this info!!
Important!! PLEASE READ AND SHARE!!!
Everyone is getting 1 hour, 6 hour, instant spices, books, and VIP dinners stuck in their ZMC in-boxes. These are the gifts friends are sending from daily cooking bonus. DO NOT SEND OUT DAILY COOKING BONUS GIFTS!!!! They DO NOT WORK and will just annoy your friends/neighbors to death! Those used to just show up in apps, but recently started appearing in ZMC where they stick.. and no amount of x'ing out or accepting or ignoring is helping. So STOP THE MADNESS by remembering: DO NOT SEND OUT DAILY COOKING BONUS GIFTS!!!! Your friends will thank you ;) - julie
NEW INFORMATION on the daily bonuses sticking in ZMC. Here's how get UNSTUCK from your ZMC. Open cafe like normal. When you see spices (1 hour, 6 hour, and instant) and books and vip dinners, DO NOT ACCEPT, OR X OUT OR ANYTHING. Accept all other things as normal then close out ZMC and Cafe world. GO to APP CENTER (under apps on news feed page) and accept those items one at a time - OR JUST X THEM OUT IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY - then go back and re-open the game. Some of them will count, but they will all disappear from ZMC. PLEASE DO SEND THE DAILY BONUS, CUZ THIS IS A PAIN TO FIX.
Note : if you have a list of 2 or more spice from the same person in apps, accept the BOTTOM ONE on the list, and x out the rest in apps. Then move on to next item. Once you get back to ZMC if there are still instant spices, those were probably sent by a friend using the send spice to friend link - accept that one item in ZMC like normal.
2/20/2013 - tiny url issues are FIXED. those are working again. Go here for the help.
2/11/2013 - Rachel's Ask Requests page is back up. The last of her helps. And this one is your best option for large food needs. See this page for more info :)
2/9/2013
Thanks to a push from a dear dear friend.. we now have two "choose your own food" links. THIS is your absolute best option for large quantities of food sent directly to your gift box. Link 1 asks your friend for the food (one ask per 12 hours) as a help request. Link 2 sends the food to your friend (one ask per 4-24 hours, whatever your normal ask time period is) and they return it (like daling). If you are doing catering foods with buddies, use link 2 so everyone stocks up on same food. If you are just doing a personal goal, use link 1 - so your friend's gift box doesn't get flooded with weird foods they don't need. I updated food UID for these links YESTERDAY.
GO HERE for more info.
REPOST - from 1/11/2013. In case you missed it.
update 1/11/2013 - a note about spices. I've been asked many times why Rachel's helps won't send spices. Well.. spices are special, and when I discussed the helps I wanted for everyone, we chose NOT to crack that code to get them. And I will tell you why.
I know, you can still get them other places. And I know, you are careful how many you get. But seriously.. if you knew how many spices are running through inboxes each day.. do you REALLY think zynga doesn't see that?? Do you REALLY think they don't notice that people are receiving 1000 spices per day or more??? If I need 200 Bacon Cheeseburgers, 200 pot roast, 200 voodoo chicken salads and 200 King crab bisque.. thats 4 different things going into my inbox. If i just pull 800 spices.. thats 1 thing. Which do you think raises a red flag more??? When I dale foods and send out, It is totally reasonable to expect over 100 back. What's the chances of getting randomly 100 spices?? Which do you think Zynga would notice more? 100 foods.. which is a commonly returned item.. or 100 spices.. which are only purchasable, not returnable? And besides all that, more than one person has written into my facebook page that they were banned for using helps. When I questioned them in detail.. they were using a different help site (not rachel's) and pulling thousands of spices. nothing but spice.
The longer it takes Z to see how active the links are.. the longer they will last. By not offering the ONE THING that every single person will send themselves hundreds or thousands of.. we are avoiding showing zynga the obvious.. we are NOT throwing it in their face that we are working again. So there you go... we are trying to SAVE the helps (so zynga doesn't kill them)... by not offering spices.

Need a Spice Crew? Maybe THIS will help..
update 6:45 - DAVID to the rescue lol. he filled in the code part I was missing. ALL FIXED!!
2/9/2013
Fearing Larry, Curly, and Moe were getting close.. Rachel piled on more work
2/7/2013 - Larry, Curly and Moe.. were Bored. So Rachel put them to work... again.
2/5/2013 - make sure you guys utilize the "turn post to ask" method on new quest pages for these insane buildables (especially if you have to do 42 on once upon a time grotto! yikes!) And don't forget the choose your own free food method to help get the food you need for catering and goals. It does work very well!
2/4/2013 - was informed that rotodiablo took down his clickable links. Rachel's are still working, but was told they were being sporadic. Changed the timestamp and now they were working at 100% again. Please be sure to remember to keep the tinyurls in your closed, private, secret groups, or in PMs - places zynga cannot see as easily as on your wall or other public spaces on facebook.
2/1/2013 - clarification. I've been informed of the fight about me on cafe wikia. So I went to read it. The thing that upset me was the post saying I was blaming group leaders for links going down. Please forgive me if I gave anyone that impression! my rant that day was asking group leaders to please make their groups free of the new links we were making with Rachel's site - that is all! I admire and appreciate and support all groups! I'm in several myself! So please, if you are a group leader, and were offended by my plea last week - please accept my sincere apology. I was NOT blaming group leaders at all! I was asking for your help! And many of you wrote in pledging help. Anyway, just want to apologize to anyone who was offended by my pleas of help! Thanks - julie
The following update is a work of fiction - except for the middle part which is the real post by me. The rest is just your "spoonful of sugar" to help the medicine go down :) - julie
1/31/2013 - somewhere in California...
Larry, Curly and Moe, the three zynga programmers assigned to block all helps, were sitting at their desks staring at their computer screens. "Anything new on the facebook page?" Larry asked.
Curly shook his head. "Been monitoring it for three days. Not a peep since our last block. You see anything on the website?"
Curly nodded to Moe, who flipped back and forth between several well known "help" sites. "No, nothing yet. You think they gonna keep trying to crack it?"
Larry stood up and stretched. The long hours at the computer were beginning to take their toll on his body. "They can try, but we GOT EM this time. No way can they get around these blocks. I doubt even Bill Gates could figure it out this time!" Larry smiled broadly as he watched his programming buddies scan for updates. "Finally, our bosses will be off our backs about these stupid sites!"
Curly turned away from the facebook window, after seeing yet another post on "the official add me thread" but nothing new on other progress. He listened as Moe pondered aloud. "How long, do you think, before they announce defeat?"
Curly piped up. "The one site said by the weekend they would tell us something."
"Us??" Larry and Moe both chorused. "
"What do you mean, US?" Larry demanded of Curly.
Curly shrugged. "You know.. you kinda get involved with them, when you read all their silly posts and daily trivia, day after day, week after week for a whole year. It was a slip of the tongue! I didn't mean anything by it!"
Curly turned back to his screen, embarrassed that he'd been caught showing sympathy to the enemy. "It'll be over soon, anyway.."
Moe chimed in, "Yeah the input boxes are gone off the daughter's site. I think shes almost ready to crack."
Larry nodded. "But what about that guy? That other site? Any word at all?"
"Nothing," Moe replied. "He's been MIA since the last block last week. Not sure what he could have done, since we blocked their servers from accessing cafe world. But that chick sure fixed up something fast.. I've always wondered if they were working together you know."
Curly shook his head. "No, I don't think so. If they were, the guy's friend wouldn't have been nasty all over her page a couple days ago. I don't see them working together. Besides, their codes are different. We already figured that out, remember?"
Larry grinned, ear to ear. "No, their codes are the same now! DOA!" He chuckled.
Curly glanced back at his screen, refreshed it, then quickly drew in a breath. "Got something! She's gonna post!"
Larry and Moe both loaded facebook and went to the Page of the enemy to see what was happening. This is what they read:
Hey guys.. It's Julie. I'm sorry I don't have better news for you.. But it's over. Our ultimate free helps are gone. No more unlimited food, parts, buildables, - its gone. We are NOT hopeless however. I do have some helps that have been around since before Rachel's and other sites. I've never quit providing help, and I never will. I will be linking on each quest page the link to make your POST become an ask (using UID), and your ASK become a post (using GIDs and tinyurl). These will aid you when you are unable to post (many times, we click the post button and it errors, and we have to wait 4 hours to try again) - and also sometimes we need our asks filled super fast - so we use the tinyurl link to make any link a post, that our friends in our groups can click on - one per day - so we can move on. I have a small food help - with chose your own food - which allows you to send out foods to your buddies as if you had sold food to dale, and then pray they return it. Believe it or not.. these used to be enough (although we DID have free unlimited parts before Rachel..). I can hope, and so can you, that eventually the team that was assigned to plugging the holes to make helps stop helping will be reassigned to fixing the game issues. I mean, if the game worked as it was intended, we all agree that these helps would never have been needed! So at this point, I am admitting defeat. Rachel and I are unable to offer the ultimate helps any longer. My website will continue as it always has - with added part UIDs now - and Rachel's will remain open with her food finder (still a valuable resource, offering food GIDs for tiny url links, and food UIDs for choose your own food links) and her cooking calculator (calculates cooking times for every food in the cookbook, including your bonuses). I will work hard to keep those, as well as my site, updated as rigorously as before. I guess what I'm saying is.. even though there is no more unlimited help, I am hoping with these tools you will still have the desire and ability to attempt to complete the goals still. Are the goals unattainable? Many are, yes. It is my opinion that Zynga is a business, and is trying to make money - as is every other game I've tried on facebook. Constantly throwing out ways to spend, spend, spend! I can tell you, though, that I do have a friend who plays cafe world religiously.. who has been testing the game WITHOUT Rachel's helps, and has been able to complete every quest, on time, with full rewards, utilizing tiny urls and choose your own food links exclusively - along with normal game play - for the past month. So it CAN be done. I am NOT giving up on helping - but I am giving up on trying to bypass their very stubborn block. The current system allows for help from one person per day, and that is a reasonable requirement in a game, and it is a block that this time I cannot get around. So we will use what we have - parts, foods, spices - whatever, and play until the game frustrates you to you breaking point :) As always, I will be on the facebook page to answer your questions, field your comments, and take your abuse. Let's put our zillion stoves to use, and tell zynga we refuse to give them the satisfaction of a mass walk out (which is what they want you know.. they are trying to make everyone quit!) Cya on the facebook page! - julie
Larry and Moe jumped to their feet, cheering. "We got them! It's over! We took the site down!"
Moe popped the cork on a bottle of champagne, and began to pour for the group. Curly got up, smiled, and accepted the bubbling glass that was handed to him.
"Why so glum, Curly? We got em!" Larry chided Curly and accepted the champagne handed to him by Moe.
Curly shrugged. "I dunno. I just kinda feel bad for the players. Do you think they will continue playing with all the game flaws?"
Moe clinked his glass against the other two. "Not our problem," he replied. "We were hired to do a job, and we did it."
"But what if they all quit? What if they decide the game is too hard without all the helps and tools?" Curly persisted.
Larry rested a hand on Curly's shoulder. "Look, Curly, we had to do this. If it wasn't us, it would have been other programmers. We just did our job."
Curly nodded, and sighed heavily. "Yeah, I know... I know."
A message from Julie - hats off to the Zynga programmers who were doing their jobs. No hard feelings :) Thanks for letting us goof off for as long as we did.
1/30/2013 - 9:15 am. I've added a stop-gap help on Grandma's quest. It's not a lot - allows you to ASK for post items.. and buildables.. but it is all I can do for right now. Don't forget you can also make the tiny URLs to get your parts.. and choose your own free food links to get food.
And do this.. Send your friends instant thyme. if everyone sends every friend one a day.. well we would all still have spices!
1/30/2013 - 8:30 am. I've been at this for a couple hours. Not having any luck :( looks like the block is a good one. I haven't given up yet.. if anyone finds something that works.. you know where to send it! - julie
p.s. the issue i'm having is.. only one per person per day. no multiples from same person :(
1/29/2013 - as suspected with the posting of the links on facebook.. they were found and blocked - again. I'm hunting for what was changed. so far i've found two things - but they haven't seemed to make a difference.. yet. I will try to confer with Rachel - but its the middle of the week - and she has work and school. So until further notice.. make use of those hundreds of friends you got! Remember the tiny url thing - it still works - and so does send spice to friends - one per 12 hours or so - but send everyone instant spice every 12 hours. it will help, especially if they go in and send too! Send spice link is very last link on this page, left column. Rachel's clickable links are on her site, and rotodiablo still has his too - those are on left column close to to top - look for "how to make clickable links" Ok guys - I will update again in morning.
p.s. do not RETURN sent spices - it doesn't work, and just clogs up the apps of the nice person who sent them to you.
Oh, and the choose your own free food works too. thats where you request a certain food from your friends.. - in bottom section of this website under the helps (near all rachel's pages). I updated Rachel's finder today with all the current UIDs (you will need those instead of GIDs for that link)
1/28/2013
11 am
Update - a note from me. When I got up this morning I found a dozen or so posts on my page blasting me for stealing the work of someone else and calling it my own. Probably because of the crew requester? Not sure. Anyway, I apologize if any of you had to be exposed to that poison, and I want to clear some things up. First of all, Rachel's site was up long before that "other" site was. She went up the day "cafe world support" went down in June, 2012. We purposefully did not go up sooner, we wanted to let the other site have its time, and there was no reason for multiple sites. So her first help, Rachel's cafe world, food sender went up mid June, 2012. She was the ONLY site for a long time, which is when we had so many issues with bots and proxy, etc etc. When z killed all the helps in August, and David came up with his sender, Rachel decided not to attempt another fix - there was no reason for her to figure it out since David covered it, and it was then that we found out about the other site. Rachel brought her sites back at MY REQUEST in November when David's would not handle 5 digit GIDs. It didn't take her long to find the fix - adding a 2nd field because there has to be 2nd account now. (Before, all items were coming from her, and you didn't need a 2nd account). And then we got requests to make a buildable.. and catering.. and spice crew. She has agreed to fulfill these requests because that's who she is. So to the person who is blasting ME for copying.. its quite strange that since Rachel was up FIRST, that WE are the accused... And quite strange that the SITE we are accused of copying is not currently functioning. As I said in my update yesterday, I have the greatest respect for the other sites. I know how much work goes into maintaining them. However, please respect me as well.
1/27/2013 9 pm.
just a note.. from me...
I have been getting many many questions about "tools" and other things that have nothing to do with my site. Hey guys, this site/page is for juliescafeworld and rachels cafe helps - we are not in any way affiliated with any other website. If the link doesn't have the word "Julie" or "Rachel" in it, then it is a totally different site. And although I have the greatest respect for other sites and their owners, since they are not mine, and I am not familiar with how their tools work, I cannot help you, advise you, or otherwise instruct you on the use of their tools - nor would it be my place to do so. So if the link doesn't have "Julie" or "Rachel" somewhere in it, then you must contact the support person at the site you are having issues with. I can only help with julies and rachel's stuff - not another site's :) thanks for understanding.
UPDATE 1/27/2013
8:30 pm
NEW HELP - because Rachel loves you all so much. Go here for details.
http://www.juliescafeworld.com/cafe-world-help/rachel-s-spice-crew-requester
P.S. YES, SHE IS WORKING ON GETTING CATERING WORK-AROUND. PATIENCE MY FRIENDS! - julie
UPDATE 1/27 10:30 PM
CATERING IS BACK!
http://www.juliescafeworld.com/cafe-world-help/rachel-s-catering-parts
1/27/2013 - here's an update I did a few weeks back that many haven't seen... so reposting..
update 1/11/2013 - a note about spices. I've been asked many times why Rachel's helps won't send spices. Well.. spices are special, and when I discussed the helps I wanted for everyone, we chose NOT to crack that code to get them. And I will tell you why.
Back in August.. before zynga blocked all the helps, you could click on items and get them. Awesome. And with Rachel's food sender, food was also free - as much as you wanted. Awesome. THEN the change happened. They killed my links, and killed her program. 60 % of cafe players quit that week. Yeah, I'm not kidding, I've seen the numbers. So... Now many of you use other sites for help - and that's awesome! However, before it died.. remember with Rachel's previous food sender - many foods that were used for catering got saturated, and didn't work. Herbed Halibut, Spicy deviled eggs, Falafel, etc. All the older foods that were repeated in catering mission after catering mission. Yeah, those foods bogged down the servers in zyngaland, and quit working ... which put anyone who had to have them for their random food for a goal in a bind! Cooking or spicing was the only option. So that brings us up to November. (yeah, David's program was in there between Rachel's old and Rachel's new) When Rachel released her new sender, and free food and parts with 5 digits again worked, we didn't bother to go the extra step to make spices work.. BECAUSE WE WANT THEM TO WORK. yeah. Remember.. saturated foods? If spices were available.. then everyone would just get spices. Nothing but spices. Sure.. many of you say.. "not me, I would get foods!" but with even 25% of free items being spices.. SPICES WOULD BE SATURATED IN CAFEWORLD then you couldn't ever get ANY, EVER. Like the people who were stuck cooking for the goals for those saturated foods.. the occasional spices your friends send to you would no longer add up in your spice rack! We were trying to avoid a catastrophe. YES, I know, you can still get them other places. And I know, you are careful how many you get. But seriously.. if you knew how many spices are running through inboxes each day.. do you REALLY think zynga doesn't see that?? Do you REALLY think they don't notice that people are receiving 1000 spices per day or more??? If I need 200 Bacon Cheeseburgers, 200 pot roast, 200 voodoo chicken salads and 200 King crab bisque.. thats 4 different things going into my inbox. If i just pull 800 spices.. thats 1 thing. Which do you think raises a red flag more??? When I dale foods and send out, It is totally reasonable to expect over 100 back. What's the chances of getting randomly 100 spices?? Which do you think Zynga would notice more? 100 foods.. which is a commonly returned item.. or 100 spices.. which are only purchasable, not returnable? And besides all that, more than one person has written into my facebook page that they were banned for using helps. When I questioned them in detail.. they were using the other help site (not rachel's) and pulling thousands of spices. nothing but spice.
So there you go... we are trying to SAVE the helps (so zynga doesn't kill them)... by not offering spices. Rant over, have a nice day :)
1/25/2013 10:30 pm.
THIS MESSAGE IS TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE POSTING THE NEW ACTUAL LINKS, THE ONES THAT BEGIN WITH FB-ZC-0 OR THE ONES BEGINNING APPS.FACEBOOK.COM.. ETC. INTO THEIR GROUPS ON ON THEIR WALLS, THE LINKS THAT YOU CREATE WITH RACHEL'S HELP. MY QUESTION IS...
ARE YOU GUYS INSANE?!!!???!!???
WHY do you think I blocked "rachelscafeworld" from being able to click from facebook? Why do you think I never speak of her site on my page other than vague references? Why do you think I stopped posting links on my wall except ones that start with juliescafeworld? Why do you think the tiny URL thing is almost required in most groups now, instead of full links?? Sheesh - Zynga is ACTIVELY searching for these exact links to kill them.. and you just gave them all the ammunition they needed. I've been told by several the new links are being posted and stored in groups - Using Rachel's site to make it then post it in your group to say, oh hey just use this, I am your hero, you don't need a help site now!! YOU ARE INSANE!!! Those links ANYWHERE INSIDE FACEBOOK are found so very very fast!!! Thanks to you, I doubt all this hard work will last the weekend. And goodbye helps.. AGAIN!!!
KNOCK IT OFF! QUIT SABOTAGING ALL THE WORK WE GO TO - TO TRY TO HELP YOU!!!
You wanna be a hero??? THEN TAKE THE LINKS OFF OF FACEBOOK! Send them via email, send them as a message using yahoo messenger or MSN! KEEP THEM OFF OF FACEBOOK!!!!
Rant over, have a nice day, love to you all, - julie
p.s. if the links break this weekend, I am NOT asking my daughter to fix them. We are taking a break!
p.s.s. if you are a group leader, it would be awesome if you would disallow these links in your group. For everyone's sake! Let's work together to keep helps available as long as possible. Thanks.
Clarification: links to juliecafeworld are fine.. zynga does not OWN them.. They do OWN the others, the ones I mentioned in the first two lines of my message above, and have legal right to search for them/view them even in private groups and private messages. So, again, links to my site, owned by ME, are ok on facebook.
9 am.. 1/24/2013
Hey guys. About 10 pm Pacific Time last night (1/23/2013) I was flooded with messages on the facebook page about Rachel's helps not working. Tested.. sure enough, our lovely game makers "fixed" their code again, making the helps useless. THAT is why I took the site down until Rachel has time to look at it.. later this evening. THERE IS HOPE but I can't promise anything. A cafe addict named Alex wrote in to the page and told me what was changed.. so I know what Rachel needs to do.. I just hope its possible. She has a heavy day at school and work today (THURSDAY) and will be available this evening. AS soon as I know something, so will you! But I wanted to let you know WHY I took her site offline. Not being mean, just didn't want you guys to keep writing in saying you aren't getting anything... the message were piling up, this was the easiest way to let you KNOW that her helps were broken - by turning off the server :) Besides.. its frustrating when you try over and over to get what you need and keep getting nothing.. I wanted to save you that frustration :) so I turned off her server last nite at almost midnight before I went to bed. Again, as soon as I know anything.. I will let you know!
Meanwhile.. many of you were asking for Rachel's paypal donation button - since its only on her site, and I took her site down, I will post it here. All the other donation buttons on juliescafeworld go to me (julie) but this one will go to Rachel. Thanks for your patience. We are working as fast as we can! - julie
P.S. No, I am not asking you to donate. I am only putting this here because more than 3 people asked for it!
To donate to Rachel for all her hard work..
UPDATE 1 pm. Rachel told me how to remove the boxes from the page.. so I turned her server back on. I wanted the server to be running when she got a chance to look at it. SO.. see if clickable links works. Remember.. the way we used to have to do things? I've seen lots of tiny urls in my group, so I think this will work for your parts while we are waiting!
http://www.rachelscafeworldtoo.com/clickablelink.php
update 10 pm. Rachel worked on it for about 3 hours.. she thinks she has something possible.. however her day started at 5 am this morning... so she was exhausted and couldn't finish. Most of you are really good about realizing that Rachel and I are just people.. with real lives and real things we have to do everyday. We are not a huge team of experts with lots of people running around doing portions of the mass of things that we do.. nope. Rachel does her website herself.. and I do mine by myself. So for those of you hounding me for answers.. please calm down. One person who has a life needed to get some sleep. Rachel will be back at it in the morning. Meanwhile.. make clickable links and hope she can figure the remaining piece of the puzzle out tomorrow. WHEN I know more, I will let you know. - julie
UPDATE 9 am 1/25 - nothing new... just just trying to keep you updated. Rachel had to work today - she doesn't have leisure to help us until late this afternoon, sometime after 4 pm pacific. But as soon as anything develops I will inform you on the page. To the negative people (I know most of you have been wonderful!) - we do have lives, and they do come first. How would you feel if Rachel lost her job because of a game? I would be devastated.. so we will just have to wait :)
UPDATE 1 PM 1/25/2013
Hey everyone! Rachel is home from work early to help us out (thank you Rachel) and she made us a temporary help. Its not quite as nice as her others.. but will work until she figures out WHAT zynga did to block her!
ASK version - be logged into facebook. In same browser that you are currently logged in on..
Step 1. Enter YOUR USER ID in the first box.
Step 2: Enter the USER ID of the person you are ASKING for the food or part in the second box
Step 3. Enter the GID of the food or part you need in the third box.
Step 4: Hit the button!
Step 5. Now, one of two things will happen
Part A. You will be sent to a new page, which will show up as a white screen with the words
{"payload":[],"success":true,"message":null}
as the only thing on the page. THATS GOOD, it's supposed to be like that.
Now, hit your F5 key up to 20 times, waiting one second in between keystrokes. if you only need 7 parts, hit the F5 key 7 times.
Part B. You will see a new message appear below the boxes that says : here is your url. Click here!
Click on that link. Now, one of two things will happen here. It will take you to the blank white screen with no words.. or a screen with the words {"payload":[],"success":true,"message":null}. If you see NOTHING.. then click anywhere in the URL on that window and hit your ENTER key. THEN you will see the message {"payload":[],"success":true,"message":null}. Once you have the message, hit your F5 key up to 20 times, waiting one second in between each hit. If you only need 7 parts, hit the F5 key 7 times.
Step 6. Open your 2nd account in a new browser - and load cafe world.
Step 7. Accept all the requests in the ZMC of that second account
Step 8. Go back to YOUR cafe and refresh it.
P.S. if you are doing foods, once you have the payload message, engage your autorefresh on your chrome or firefox browser for less hassles.
Start over!
SEND version - be logged into your 2nd account (spouses's, daughter's etc) on facebook. In same browser that you are currently logged in on..
Step 1: Enter the USER ID of the 2nd account (theperson who will be sending you the food or part) in the first box
Step 2. Enter YOUR USER ID in the second box.
Step 3. Enter the GID of the food or part you need in the third box.
Step 4: Hit the button!
Step 5. Now, one of two things will happen
Part A. You will be sent to a new page, which will show up as a white screen with the words
{"payload":[],"success":true,"message":null}
as the only thing on the page. THATS GOOD, it's supposed to be like that.
Now, hit your F5 key up to 20 times, waiting one second in between keystrokes. if you only need 7 parts, hit the F5 key 7 times.
Part B. You will see a new message appear below the boxes that says : here is your url. Click here!
Click on that link. Now, one of two things will happen here. It will take you to the blank white screen with no words.. or a screen with the words {"payload":[],"success":true,"message":null}. If you see NOTHING.. then click anywhere in the URL on that window and hit your ENTER key. THEN you will see the message {"payload":[],"success":true,"message":null}. Once you have the message, hit your F5 key up to 20 times, waiting one second in between each hit. If you only need 7 parts, hit the F5 key 7 times.
Step 6. Open YOUR account in a new browser - and load cafe world.
Step 7. Accept all the GIFTS in the ZMC
Step 8. REFRESH your cafe.
P.S. if you are doing foods, once you have the payload message, engage your autorefresh on your chrome or firefox browser for less hassles.
Start over!
FYI - a note about catering and buildables... when Z changed code this time.. they did a number on buildables. our best manual efforts are still hit and miss. But trust me, we are working on it!
Update 2 pm.. Rachel has been working non-stop and has temporary buildable help
Buildables - temporary workaround
Ok guys this one is nasty.. but it works. Must be patient.
Enter YOUR id in first box, 2nd account ID in 2nd box, choose the buildable, enter the part number, and choose your stage. Hit the button.
Look ABOVE the boxes. you will see the words "here is your URL click here!" Click on the words click here.
It will open to a new window with blank page. click on the URL, and hit enter, and you will get the message {"payload":[],"success":true,"message":null}
IMPORTANT!!!!
Once you see the message, go to a new browser, load the 2nd account's cafe, and answer the help request. THIS WORKAROUND ONLY ALLOWS ONE PART AT A TIME!!! So you must accept that help, and go back and REFRESH YOUR CAFE to make the part count, before getting a new URL.
Note: You can now go back to the URL you created and change the GID in that URL to the next one you need, until all of that stage is complete, making sure to only send one at a time, without going back to the buildables page. Once you complete the stage, or need to change to a different buildable, then come back here and get a new URL.
Once your cafe is refreshed and your part counted, you can start over. Zynga blocked buildables hard.. the ONLY WAY we can get any at all through, is one at a time. You can send many.. but only the first one you accept will count! The rest will error out!!! So answer the help request in your 2nd account’s ZMC, and refresh your game, before sending more.
I know, its very very hard guys.. not sure if its worth the hassle.. so ask and post.. and only use the help when you need to move on - well that's my suggestion!
Update 9 pm
Many reports came in that the buildables came in more than one at a time! Awesome! changed directions accordingly!!!!
