Looks like Pogo forgot to load extra temporary rooms again. Play soon or wait until the rooms are added to avoid gnashing of teeth and wailing.
robero says
Two rather easy fun badges. The quickest way to phlinx badge for me was to build up balls in front by not matching and then attack from the back. I would get four groups of ten in first round and at least two in the second round. Badge took 28 minutes. For jigsaw, playing on hard level took me only three puzzles.
Mike says
Pogo is having a lot of problems right now with the server involving Phlinx. Help department says they are working to resolve the issue shortly.

Hi all
Just a note of caution, I activated the Jigsaw Treasure hunter badge, played 4 games and got no credit, went to c.s, and they argued i had not activated it, but eventually awarded me the badge, BUT WORSE WAS TO COME, activated the Phlinx badge, and also the Cleopapatra’s badge as a personal, (make 50 groups of 10 or more stones drop) completed cleo’s badge, went to activate the Sundisk badge for same game, played 2 more rounds, realised i was not getting credit for stones dropped, refreshed homepage, and and the Phlinx badge had DEACTIVATED, contacted c.s again, (was fuming by now) they say there is a glitch, so please watch your chat area, and check your homepage, but be careful, if you activate it again you will have to start all over again.
So now off to send a stinging email to pogo, i am not a happy pogo player

alan says
there are some very strange goings on in pogoland this badge day.
please be aware that activating a personal badge in the same game as the weeklies may cause problems. both loz and i have experienced three different problems with three of the four challenges, this week
ijf12000274 says
is anyone else not getting credit for dropped stones
Susie NYC says
Anyone know about renewing the game ticket on Phlinx? That is what popped up after playing one game. I also did not get any credit for the drops.
Pat says
I don’t know about the rest of you, but our room for phlinx keeps booting people and making it hard to come back in with all the OOPS messages and a “failed to meet entitlement 123 and xyz” type message…
fadedwildrose says
Phlinx is very bad. Watch carefully to see that you are credited and if not leave the room and begin again. I got booted several times and did not get credit several other times.
mumson45 says
Hi again
Well refreshed my homepage, now saying badges for the weeklies are ready to be activated, even though i already have them, what on earth is going on ????
loz
robin says
Yes, having same problem as everyone else. I am not getting credit for my 10 or more dropped balls. Sometimes I get credit, but, most of time, nothing. I even counted when I dropped 10 or more, to make sure, but, no credit for them. Hope Pogo resolves problem quickly.
Brinn says
Well, I am pleased I came to Badge Hungry first, as Phlinx is not working for me either. I played one full game to see if it would tabulate the drops and it did not. It gave me tokens, but no progress. I made sure I activated the badge and I activated a personal as well…. both badges show activation on home page and also when I go to the Phlinx page. I won’t be wasting any more time on this badge until Pogo fixes the issue… and just for good measure I sent in a complaint to CS.
barbieaddict says
I also wasn’t getting credit for phlinx. Contacted pogo and they awarded me the badge. Seems they are having problems with the server.
jigsawing says
Am getting the same thing: “failed to meet entitlement” Then, if I DO get in, no credit for “10 or more”.
alan says
Ok who has stolen the 50030 room, all i find is rooms beginning 60001
Lura says
alan: make sure you’re on the Topics tab — all is well with the 50030 room in both games. In fact, the Jigsaw Treasure Hunter 50030 room is currently full, which might be why you’re not seeing it.
Jamie (LocoBonita82) says
I haven’t even started the weekly challenges yet. I am 14 spins away from ranking out in Hangman Hijinks and decided to finish that up first.
Are they any problems with Jigsaw Treasure Hunter at the moment? When I finish HH, I plan on starting that one.
Handukka says
Phlinx – same problems here. Not getting full credit for the groups dropped and also getting boote out of rooms, not being able to get back in. People in rooms also complaining. I’m going to wait for awhile and try for this badge later. The Jigsaw badge was really easy.
Mrs. Mike Brown says
Happy Badge Day ALL (I think)
Everything was running smoothly in Phlinx. I activated another as personal and got that. Still working on original. I activated a 2nd Phlinx as a personal and no credit. It says it’s activated but not giving me credit. I thought you could do that but guess you can’t.
MomsBassetHound says
Pogo is now putting a message in the chat that there is a problem with Phlinx, that they are working on it, and it should be fixed very soon.
Suz
Mrs. Mike Brown says
They must have fixed it cuz it just gave me credit for all the rounds i won for the personal! YAY! I do not care for this game.
badlokii says
Pogo is now chat broadcasting that they are aware of the issue with Phlinx and are working to resolve it.
alan says
think i must be going senile before my time, i swear on my old mans grave all the rooms started at 60001 at the time of writing 4.55pm. no worries tho all my badges are done incl personals. even loz saw those 60000 rooms. off to hide in a spooky room for rest of day. see ya
peek says
I was able to complete the badge in Jigsaw Detective. However, I was playing Phlinx and got up to 32 groups out of the 100 and got the “oops” message and was kicked out and not able to get in again.. Finally got back in and was not getting any crdit when another message popped up and said my game ticket was up. What gives? I’m a 3 year club pogo member in good standing. Also, my home page has a message that keeps reading that I am signed out. Never saw that message before. Logged out of Pogo and in again but message is still there. Just got off Live Chat with someone named Manoj Kumar Sharma who said Pogo is having issues and things should be fixed in a while, Hope so otherwise I’ll just have to get back to live chat
peek says
P.S. sorry for the above rant but I’m feeling fustrated.
mumson45 says
Peek, don’t worry bout the message saying you are signed out, i had that all day the other day, still played and earned badges, just another pogo mess up, after all it is badge day lol
loz
Susan says
@Peek
It is frustrating, that’s why i decided to not even try to get the badge till tomorrow.
Pogo’s always had Wednesday issues from about 2007-on.
Back on ’05 i rarely had any issues, and 2006 kind of started to show em.

Although I have never before asked Pogo’s Customer Support to award me a badge, I did exactly that in Phlinx today. Kept getting bounced out of the game room with “Lost server connection” messages. Bounce would occur usually at end of a round and I wouldn’t receive credit for groups of stones dropped. Never got credit for stones dropped in any Round 3, whether I got bounced or not. Also, got frequent messages about “Game ticket” having expired. WTF???? All in all, my Phlinx experiences mirrored those described in other posts here. Yet another Pogo badge day screw-up!
After having dropped 317 groups of 10 or more stones (yes, I kept track!), my badge progress was at 71/100. I was livid! I went to Live Chat and requested the badge and the tokens that went with it. The CS Agent I spoke with, “Amrita” was pleasant and helpful. Yes, she awarded me the badge (and those extremely valuable tokens).
I did not receive badge progress for the first JTH puzzle I completed. I left the game room, refreshed the Pogo home page and the JTH home page. I activated the game again. (I really did activate it before working the fist puzzle.) The game seems to be playing smoothly at this point. However, this particular game absolutely kills my eyes. After doing 3 consecutive puzzles, I went in search of a seeing-eye dog. One puzzle at a time is all the dog and I can handle. LOL But I have other things to amuse myself between puzzles. Might finish the badge today; might not. Piecing jigsaw puzzles really is not my ‘strong suit’. I’m slow, but I do manage to complete the puzzles. I have to say it’s a real thrill when Pogo announces that “seasmoke1414 completed a puzzle on Easy in 16 minutes” (or more!). LOL
My only ‘tip’ for either badge is, “Persevere!” gl 2 all … you’ll need it.
seasmoke1414 says
@ alan #25
You are correct. There was no Room 50030 on the Topics tab. The temporary members room numbering started at 60001. I played in Room 60030. Badlokii was there for a time, until he got bounced out. Other BHers I know well were there from time to time. All were experiencing the bouncing and difficulty returning to the room, as well as other bizarre problems/weird messages. In fact, I saw you enter the room and greeted you; but you were bounced out immediately. Hiding in Spooky sounds like a winner to me!
BonBon says
I played for the duration of the badge ( about 2 hours ) and never saw the Pogo message about Phlinx being messed up. They must have fixed the problem about 2 hours ago. I was able to see the credit for each round and got my badge without ever being booted out of the room nor having any issue in accomplishing it.
Good luck to all !
Moey says
I was able to complete JTH with no problems but the Phlinx badge has been a disaster. The morning’s efforts went for naught as Pogo kept severing the connection. I tried again this afternoon after reading comment#23. It has been better but I still have Pogo server problems and have lost credit for about 1/3 of my drops. Loz and I were in Room 50030, commiserating about today’s snafus and making a couple of comments re: new mahjong dimensions requirements and gem enhancements when we were accosted by a self-appointed thought police person, who said we were not to speak negatively about Pogo in the Chat area. Stupidly, we tried to reason with her but to no avail. She told us that Lura would be ashamed of us. Altogether, an unpleasant afternoon.
Moey (meme200784)
Lura says
Moey: consider me not ashamed at all. That’s not my style. 🙂 I’m glad you two could meet up in a room and commiserate about today’s challenges while you played.
CaptHitsugaiya says
Got both in about 3 hours. I did Phlinx right from the start. I averaged 3.4 requisite drops per game in Beginner.
rabbitandkitty says
i never had prob in phlinx was wondering why they kept saying they aware of prob,guess it not effecting e1
alan says
ha! i knew i wasnt wrong about those odd numbered rooms re 60001 etc, thanks sea for confirming it
justagramma says
A tip for any of Pogo’s Jigsaw games and also for Poppit, from someone who had bad vision… make your screen resolution a lower number temporarily. You can find this under Control Panel, Display, Settings in Windows XP. Or right click on desktop and choose Properties and Settings tab.
Not sure about Vista and Windows 7, but sure helps to have larger pieces and balloons.
Still working on Phlinx badge
CaptHitsugaiya says
In Windows 7, you can change resolution by right-clicking an empty area of your desktop and scrolling down, third from the bottom. Vista is the same.
