<blockquote>
 
<p>Trap checks are currently very broken. Despite our best efforts to find a solution this problem persists. The entire team is brainstorming ideas on how we can restructure the way trap checks work because the current implementation is not capable of providing trap checks to the amount of players who play everyday.</p>
 
  
<p>We may have to rebuild the trap check system from scratch which may take some time. We'll keep you posted as we continue to work on solving this problem.</p>

=== Forum 'Enhancer' Scripts ===
 
''{{date|8|April|2009}}''
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
<p>It has come to our attention that some browser scripts/plugins that are designed to integrate MouseHunt player statistics into the discussion board are making undo requests to the game.</p>
 
 
<p>These extra requests happen behind the scenes loading MouseHunt pages to grab the necessary data. The problem is that this extra activity triggers King's Reward codes without the player ever seeing them.</p>
 
  
<p>This leads to a few problems where players have an unclaimed reward without ever knowing it and strange errors due to the massive amount of requests all coming from the same address.</p>
+
==== The Treasure Map Mega Party has Started! ====
 +
It's time to party down during a one week mapping extravaganza known as the '''Treasure Map Mega Party'''!
  
<p>The extra requests also massively boost how active the game thinks you are. This triggers some of our bot-detection and tracking systems.</p>
+
For the next week, Treasure Maps will accommodate '''TWICE''' as many hunters, up to a maximum of '''10'''.
  
<p>We are working on fine-tuning our bot tracking systems as well as working with the developers of these types of scripts so that do not trigger our tracking systems. In the meantime we kindly ask any players who are using any sort of script or plugin that modifies the Facebook discussion boards to add MouseHunt statistics to uninstall them immediately.</p>
+
This applies to all Treasure Maps except Solo Maps and Wanted Posters.
  
<p>To make things clear: If you have installed or use anything that modifies the way Facebook discussion boards look or function please uninstall them.</p>
+
So gather twice as many map mates and get the mega party started!
  
<p>This will avoid your account being falsely flagged for bot usage as well as save countless requests to our server to help to make the game quicker and more responsive for everyone!</p>

<blockquote>
 
<p>Hello MouseHunt communit-tay!</p>
 
 
 
<p>As many of you are aware, trap checks have not been functioning correctly for quite some time. The problem is proving to be challenging to solve without changing some fundamental gameplay elements that contribute to the passive nature of the game.</p>
 
 
 
<p>This issue is a priority for us and we can only ask for your patience while we work on a solution.</p>
 
 
 
<p>How else can you help us? Well as every seasoned MouseHunter knows all of life's problems can be blamed on the dreaded Glitchpaw mouse and it's about time we fought back with traps! So grab your best trap and be on the lookout for any Glitchpaw mice that come your way. Every one caught is sure to help!</p>
