Wow Sharol46 if you are still doing that. I tried that too and it did not work for me. That is how it used to work before the October update, of which it changed to 'not' needing them lit 'today' before traveling back to yesterday to have them lit for collecting and then coming back to today to still have them lit. We were able, before October, to have them lit today..... leave them alone, go back as many days as we wanted, a whole month, or whatever and travel forward and they'd be relit each day, including 'today' when back to it.

In October, it changed to no longer needing to be lit 'now/today', or if already collected 'today', it did not matter. Could travel back and they'd re-light and the re-light each day moved forward.

Now, none of it works. I tried the old way of when I had them lit 'today' and left them alone and traveled back. Yes, they were lit on travel back, because I had not collected 'today'. But, when I traveled forward, they did not relight.

I tried with my game remaining open, like we did all of October. I tried with my game minimized when changing dates, like we did 'before' October. I tried with game closed on date changes and then reopened each day moved forward, like for Secret Society. *Nothing* worked. Zilch.

I then thought to test them offline..... waited until relit for a new gathering. I collected '1' trophy. Unplugged my internet. Tried to collect on the 2nd trophy. Nope. Got a popup, "not connected to server" and I could collect 'nothing'. I plugged back in the internet and they were once again ready for collecting.

Meaning. They are now like visiting and charging friends. HAVE to be online and can only do it on the time *their server is reset*. Our time does not matter. It's based on their server time.

If it is still working for you, then I tip my hat to you. I'll try again. Tinker some more next time they are relit. I'll try your way of having the gift tab open when traveling back and each time I move forward. That is the 'one' thing I did not try.
