Technical issues

 * Site & Forum
 * Hey guys, / Sorry for adding this on late but the response has been greater than we expected for this event so unfortunately I have to add an additional restriction for your egg collecting. From this point forward, eggs will have a defined lifetime where you can collect them. After that point they are no longer good. Currently, their lifetime is set for one hour but we'll be watching things and will adjust the time forward or back as needed. / Sorry again and I hope you're enjoying things so far!
 * If you're only seeing [eggimg],cute,1 or something like that in egg posts, it's likely because you're using Forums Lite. You have to use the regular forums in order to see the eggs so disable Forums Lite in your Gaia Labs settings
 * If you earn an achievement but don't have it granted immediately, give it some time (30-60 minutes). Achievements get backlogged during events due to the high traffic volume so it can take some time. Just continue on your way and occasionally check back on the event landing page and you should eventually be given the achievement.
