The "Rollback" Issue 7/22/07 9:19 AM
Last night, I had something very bizarre occur. When I started playing that morning, I was about halfway through my diploma hunts. I completed them over the course of the day, then checked out the new pieces, kept up with the Fool's blog, etc. The strange part happened later that evening. I had gone for groceries and had dinner and a DVD with Allie, and when I logged back on to King, parts of my account had strangely been "rolled back" to where I was in the morning. It showed my diploma hunts still in progress (even though I had completed them), and no comments on the Fool's two newest blog entries, even though I had read them earlier. Oddly enough, when I looked up each diploma on my profile page, it showed there that I had completed all the necessary achievements, but the new pieces wouldn't display either.
Anyway, I stumbled upon a solution this morning. If you ever have this problem, go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files, and look for a file called simply "King.com", shown with a picture of a cube. It's an ActiveX control. Right-click on it and select Update, then close your browser windows and log back in. It should then be updated.
If you're reading this and know of someone who has this problem, please send them this info. Thanks!

Nice! Thanks for the advice because this problem happens to me alot!
The problem also goes away automatically with time, but it could indeed cause some confusion..
