So, is anyone else having trouble opening up DV? I can get to the loading screen, but no loading bar shows up...
Maybe it has something to do with Game Center? Because I tried opening the Game Center App, and it just goes to a white page...whatever it is I hope it rights itself in a few hours or less.
Edit to add: it's working now. Yeah! Had to restart my phone, and that forced it to reconnect. All is good.

Got the message below from BF today when i asked them if i had lost the surplus banked rings (those in my social menu that were above the allowed 1000 per day). Any above the allowed 1000 are added to our BF stash rather than staying w/the friend that gave them to us. Hope this is clear...it surely relieved me ...so, once you exit the game & then go back in again you will see the surplus rings (those that were left after the 1000) are placed into our banked BF stash.
''Thanks for your email! When you collect a gift that puts you over the daily limit, the surplus rings are removed and added into the Backflip Studios gift the next time you load DragonVale. It's a little confusing because they aren't added immediately, but if you look at your Backflip gift after reloading the game you will see the extra rings have been added."
Well that's not how it worked for me. I only received one half of the rings that were left over from the 1000 rings I collected today. It's not a surprise to me that it isn't added immediately, I expected that I would need to reload, what was a surprise is that I only received one half of the rings that were left over. Maybe that won't happen to anyone else, but just in case keep an eye on the numbers.
Same, I had actually already collected the BFS bank, and just had the two friends amounts left. One disappeared entirely (after adding 600 rings then glitching), but maybe since there was no BF bank to send the rings TO, they just got lost. I got the reply today but had to send another email explaining a bit further that, no, the rings really have just disappeared! Hopefully I get them credited, but its not enough to really make much of a difference if I don't.

I was able collect 1,000 rings when the game reset, no hiccup. Overage rings remained in the friend's acct.
Are you sure, Buffy? Next time I opened my game, a friend with surplus showed up with nothing there and a "clear" button, so I hit clear. And it disappeared. Then I noticed I still had collectibles from that account. It's happened two more times now.
PS: I've notified Support. Let's see.

The new water dragons are proving to be fairly easy for me... I think it's because my sole Elder dragon is Water. I'm still not quite sure how to spend my remaining rings. Usually I will always get habitats because it's great to have ones that don't count towards the total, but the Olympus reward is so big!
So I have an elder fire, do I still have a Flagler to look for? Or was that extra flagger just for the events?
If you've got an elder fire, you've got the red flagger permanently. The event-only flaggers are the two in house colors that always gave you rings plus gems when you found them. All the flaggers gained from getting an elder will still be there!

Yes. I was sure at the time of my post, but after reading various comments on here I am not so sure anymore.
Will take screenshots before and after ring collection to confirm that I am not seeing things
Some friends touch your heart in a way that you can never erase.

Has anyone fed a non primary element dragon to 20 yet, and do they become 'elder' or change in some way, and do we get another flag carrier?

I have a ~160 L20's and no, no flag bearers. They are only for the Elder L21 Primaries.
I have amazing koala breeding 2nd event dragons after the event has ended, and now am only missing 2nd Hidden Bolt. Sorta of a nice ending to a fun summer event.

Just want to confirm that I am seeing things... , buffy is making fun of baby lotus!
My social menu behaves correctly. Like the reply email @ilovedragons received from BFS, my friend's ring surplus gets added to BFS's stash.

Exactly the same for me. But I get the problem regularly so I need to restart my phone (iPhone 6s+) a couple of times per day .
EDIT: I'm on iOS 9.3.5 which is supposed to have fixed the 'white screen' bug. Sigh.

This happened to me during the event and I emailed Backflip, but their response was that the unused part of my friend's rings were added to the Backflip total. This wasn't the case, but I didn't think it worth pursuing.
However, this morning I collected from one of my friends where there was over 2,000 rings to collect. The whole lot disappeared, the Backflip total stayed the same and the number of rings on the game page available for spending wasn't animated to show that the maximum rings were there. Stupidly, I repeated the exercise with another friend's rings over 2,000 and the same thing happened. Backflip total still the same, rings for spending not altered or flashing, and the collect buttons in the Social Menu were all still bright green as if I could collect more from them. I've emailed Backflip, but I think they'll probably still give me the same story.
I'm just so disappointed that if I collect more rings from the Social Menu tomorrow, it will be a repeat performance. I think I'll just sit tight and let the whole lot turn into food.
A pity, as on the whole the event has worked almost without a hitch.

What are you breeding for them? Just the primaries? I am not having any luck.

Did you close the game and check back upon reopening? It takes a cycle for the rings to show up in the Backflip Gift, so try closing the game and checking again. This didn't work for me in my glitched park (I think because I didn't have a Backflip Gift to start with), but in my other parks I've had no problems.

Glad you posted this, was getting stressed as not loading. Want to collect my rings today, now I can

it usually forces a restart for the game with me but yes, you need to restart or refresh (like perhaps even visiting a friends park and coming back) in order for the changes to update and reflect.

Thank you for posting this...it is such a relief to know that I am not alone in this matter. I hope the 'white screen' bug is fixed soon because it is certainly annoying!
As for myself, I have yet to update to iOS 9.3.5, but if it is supposed to fix the 'white screen' bug then I just might update later today. The first time I encounter the bug was just a few days ago...did you encounter the bug earlier than I?
On another note, I also am dealing with the local park or Game Center park question just about every time I enter DV. I think I remember reading that this issue was solved by deleting the DV app and then reinstalling it. Is this correct (for any of you reading that are in the know)? Admittedly, however, I am a little worried to delete the DV app at the moment given the current issues with Game Center.

I get that question every time I log in now. It went away for a little while but then came back. Not sure the root cause.

I periodically am dealing with all of the issues. I updated to iOS 9.3.5, that helped maybe a little, also have deleted app & reinstalled it (that helped for a while), had the loading page issue & GC white screen, closed everything down & restarted phone. Fortunately, nothing is constant & one of these "tricks" usually takes care of the problem.
Actually, I'm having to shut down the iPad completely and start all over because the game doesn't load otherwise.
