ad blocker warning [updated]

2012-02-26T21:57:01-08:00

I disabled my ad blocker, but the warning still appears. Maybe you could provide a list of all ads you can show on freerice, so I can explicitly allow them...

Oops, I forgot to say that Avira is on this machine (the Vista one). I don't know if it automatically covers all accounts, but I guess so. I am not sure exactly what it does, some amount of virus checking apparently.

Also, I just took another screen shot. I was over 1000 grains in English vocab & didn't know the next word, so I cowardly switched Subjects. Around 200 grains later, the ad blocker warning came up. I clicked on the "Friends activity" to stall, and then clicked to reload the page.
"Friends" came up in the ad space. Definitely messed up.

I can't access my profile page. [updated]

if you put more adds on the site could we donate 20 grains of rice per correct answer?

you should tell people their record in a row

Ty for the fast response, when you say, not human possible, i saw thah too on my account and obiusly i ididnt raise that much rice, to be more exact it was feb 2 and feb 8, i noticed that too, those where during my vacation period and i did played alot those days but if you see feb 3 and feb 9 i did less and that wasnt the case, when i stoped playing rice kept counting up, you can take those days dunno if it was cuz i played those days at late hours or what, and when you mention multiple ppl no just me uses that, but i play at my home pc when im home, cell phone or ipad when i travel or on a diff place, and at my laptop when im at work, so now i need to just play at home??? Or one place only? So i may get banned for something i didnt even do? So all the hundreds of hours i spend its gonna be waste? Think is fair?

Human anatomy

Florence suggested:
Under Human Anatomy, it asks the adult lung capacity. The answers are given in kilometers. A kilometer is measurement of distance. I belive the answers should be in liters.

Language Learning pronunciation [updated]

2012-02-24T21:19:20-08:00

On the Language Learning Subject there should be something, like a button to press, that pronounces the word(s) for you. This would be helpful becuase people could hear and see the word.

If you can't use audio why don't you use the word spelled out phonetically?

You should have a bonus page of harder questions and 2x the adds, so you can give more rice. [updated]

Create a trophy page [updated]

2012-02-24T20:05:15-08:00

Could you Create a Trophy or Badge Page where players could go to and look at Trophies they have earned for getting 50 correct answers, 1000 or 10,000 grains of Rice, 100 grains in each subject etc. ? It would be fun and would also encourage players to learn more, get a sense of Achievement and try a range of subjects.

Make chemical symbols full list the whole list on level 3. [is now under review]

Chemical symbols full list only covers the most obscure elements and is very easy to memorize. Can you make level 3 the whole range of chemical elements?

Team Freerice (admin) responded:

Hi Rachel,

Freerice and the World Food Programme focus on both feeding hungry people and creating a sustainable solution to hunger.

Because of this, we try to buy rice “at the source.” For the past several months, all rice earned has been going to Cambodia where we purchase it from local farmers helping to both support the economy and reduce transportation costs.

However, this is not possible to do with canned foods and for this reason, it does not comply with our policy.

Thank you for your support and suggestions!

Team Freerice (admin) responded:

Hi Yariv,

We do remember your account and have also noted your comments on Twitter.

This is an ongoing bug that the WFP developers are working around the clock to resolve! Freerice is a very popular game, but also very complex.

We have noticed some strange behaviour on your account (raising quantities of rice felt to be not humanly possible within 24 hours), and there is a possibility it may be blocked.

If your account is being used by multiple people, please stop now. This damages our database running too many queries at once, and also runs the risk of the system blocking your account?

Thanks,
Team Freerice

pikesmom said:

Oh, and I rarely see the ad blocker warning until I am over 1000 grains donated. Then it comes back again and again. Sometimes it works to just log off for a while & come back in a few.

And I wait until I see an ad loaded before I click. Every time.

pikesmom said:

You have asked for screen shots. I got one, but now I don't know what to do with it! Sorry! How do I send it to you? I got a totally blank ad space, clicked to re-load the page, and got a sort-of blank ad that I thought you might like to see. This is really the "other" problem, blank ad space, rather than ad blocker warning, but ... anyway.

Meanwhile, I am running under Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2 on this machine, using Firefox 3.6.27 via slow DSL. We have NoScript on the machine, and I use the Firefox Ad Blocker plug-in for my regular account -- but I decided to use my "Guest" account solely for freerice. This acct has nothing installed on it in the way of security, other than whatever Acer or Vista or Firefox builds in as defaults.

By now, you should have almost enough info to show up at my door! ;-)

I love to help people especially the kid's in need of food just think of all the kid's that don't have food and look how lucky we are we have food and the least we could do is help them out it will touch a kid's heart to know they helped you and your family and friend's jut think if you were those people you would want other people to help you "treat others like you want to be treated" so help somebody out be kind people starve to death you wouldn't want to starve would you? I didn't think so and please don't make fun o the kid's in need if you were them then you wouldn't want people to pick on you if you didn't have things to wear or money so please think what your gonna say before you say it. It can really hurt people that's all I have to say so please vote for this so you can give more rice to the people in need not just the kid's their parents need to eat to and thank you to the people that support freerice and the people that are willing to give rice to these people in need I bet it's been a real help to them. Bye.

When the problem occured, I used AdBloc Plus (disabled now, worked before with Freerice), NoScript (set to allow everything on the page, totally disabled now), and I'm currently using Ghostery and Do Not Track Plus, all these on Firefox 10.0.2 and one or two older Firefox versions. I had the problem happen for a while, but now it has disappeared, and I'm Hungary.
