Missing Handshakes seems to be back.
I have been experiencing the missing Handshakes glitch for the last few days - that is when a neighbour has tapped your buildings, but there is no handshake, just a $ sign. It's not consistent - s...

I feel I should weigh in here with my personal experiences on neighbor taps. Since I have 3 towns and they are all neighbors with each other I can see things that single - and even double - town players can't.
Due to the vagaries of neighbors coming and going I often times find myself tapping stuff in the same town at the same time. Since I kind of blur out while neighbor tapping I don't recognize my own towns when I hit them, so I'll wind up tapping the same things from the neighboring point of view - whatever's right there nearest the landing zone generally. Here's some of the things that can happen when 2 or more people visit the same town at the same time and tap the same things:
Nothing registers so no handshakes appear.
More than one tap registers, creating multiple handshakes.
Only one of the taps registers - by that I mean only one visitor's name shows up.
Only one tap from different people registers (so I might see 1 tap from town B, and 2 from town C).
A tap from hours before might show up as a current tap - It's really a visit from someone else, but my own name from hours before is displayed.
In my opinion the entire visit scheme needs to be re-written. It just doesn't work right. I don't think when they designed it and gave us 100 neighbors they thought anyone would actually HAVE 100 (or more with Facebook) neighbors so the system isn't designed to accommodate multiple people all visiting the same town at the same time.
