I guess that you were looking at the entry in your FL file itself, and yes, there are various odd formats appearing at the beginning of the file. On windows, I have not gotten any gifts at all since Wednesday when I got a full GB. I didn't do much checking because that was before all the disappearing FLs was noticed. I accepted/TYd with that new button just to get it done quickly so I could visit while I could. The connection went down for the last time for me (as far as I noticed) 1/2 hour later. I had all of my friends but with no connection until yesterday when I had golden sparked awards, so I accepted those. I opened FL and they all disappeared before my eyes. I had a few TYs only, so I accepted those.

On android, haven't had any moments of connectivity since last Saturday until yesterday. This time, when I started game and saw my awards were charged, I didn't accept them, but opened my FL and watched my FL disappear. It made no difference, so I accepted the few TYs and the awards and that's where both devices remain today.

Everything is guesswork on our parts. I'm going to stop guessing and wait to see what next week brings. I sitll think that it's best to do nothing for now. Not trying to readd anyone. I believe that they are deliberately setting out FLs to null and that our FLs are safely on their servers until they decide what they are going to do. I almost replaced my FL null file with my last backup copy in the hopes that I could continue hiring, but I figured that this woould only work if I kept my wifi down. It was a tradeoff, and my RL (needs wifi enabled) won out. :-)) - El
