Gifts not showing up bug? or something else....

1.) Notifications tend to go wonky during Events, at least in my case.

2.). The 'Present Indicator' (top right corner) that appears when visiting Neighbors shows how many presents *you* currently have available to give others, as opposed to how many they can receive.

My husband and I always drop gifts for each other in the same spots but three times now I've dropped gifts for him that never show up. I get more drops from friends than he does so I always pay those back first and give him the rest. He missed out on 6 gifts yesterday because they never appeared, AGAIN. :x :x :x

I believe this is a multiple glitch problem.

Having a second town I get notifications that my other self has visited me up to 24 hours after I actually did the Friend Actions.
I get multiple notifications on things. I typically get at least 3 notifications that abearsanta (my other town) has visited my wadebear town every day. Sometimes more.

I don't think all Present drops are registering.

I don't think all gift taps are registering - you tap a Present and the counter that keeps track of how many are in your town doesn't go down.

The other day I did an exhaustive search for Presents in both my towns. I moved everything and looked behind it all (you don't have to drop stuff somewhere else: just move it, look behind it, then cancel the move and it pops back where it was). I finally located all the Presents in my wadebear town, but there were 2 I couldn't find in my abearsanta town. I don't think they're there - I think the counter is wrong.

Side note: you can tap the Drop Present button then cancel the drop. That way you can test to see if a town can accept Presents without actually dropping any. Really only useful if you have a second town...

Check behind your Homertron - you can't see Presents behind it when it's 'ghosted'. I stored the bleachers from my Tap Ball stadium and moved my Wailing Walls into a corner. I also found one Present 'hidden' among the Jack O'lanterns in my Halloween area - it's easy to overlook Presents mixed in with other small decorations.

There is a counter that keeps track of how many are in town? where do I see this counter? Also can the gifts occupy and already occupied square? For example I have a lot of my odd stuff like wailing walls in one big block of area so there are no vacant squares within the area they occupy. I may stow away some of the stuff that doesn't matter like tap ball stuff or move it around to leave less places they could hide. I do have open spaces and most friends have tried to drop them that way. But sometimes you get the behind or on the side of a building despite that.
