DarkNymph's blog: "Old news"

Updating this on March 4, 2012 - this problem may have been fixed finally.  I know I did three Rockstars in a row the other day for the achievement, and they all worked as expected.  Just heads up - there was a problem for a long time!!

Many people have encountered a problem when activating multiple Rockstars where the second one (or third or fourth) does not reset your likes to allow people to relike you as it should. Or it partially resets where people that liked you on a previous Rockstar could not relike, but those that just liked you between Rockstars could.  Weird right? I don't think FuSupport officially recognizes that there is an issue with the operation of the Rockstars.  You will not be reimbursed or receive sympathy if this happens to you though I could find you several people that have experienced the issue, including myself. 

This is what the bouncers and others that have tried it recommends trying though of course, some have tried it all and still not successfully activated:

Some suggest waiting 4 hours between Rockstars.  

This isn't feasible if you are going for 10K likes.  Plus I had a friend that did, and it still failed.

If you are activating a Rockstar and a Boomy, activate the Rockstar first! 

  Great advice.  I did both the other day when I was activating my 4th Rockstar when going for 10K, careful to do the Rockstar first, and then the boomy.  The boomy didn't reset my rates for 2-3 hours. I didn't care, the important thing was the Rockstar at that point since it was my final rockstar to get my 10K likes.

Remove all messages

I was careful to mark all messages as read, but did not delete them all.  I do not know if this makes a difference. Doing more than is needed may be better than not enough!

Log out of Fubar

I was careful to do this on the computer that I was activating on but not on both computers.  I got lucky maybe!

Clear your cache and your cookies in your browsers. 

I cleared Google Chrome's Cache and cookies back to the start of time each time on the computer I was using to activate since chrome is what I usually run fu in. I did it in IE as well when I used IE to activate.  Couldn't figure out how to do it in FF. So I may have gotten lucky.  Since I never use FF for fu, that may have saved me!

Restart your computer.

Ok this was tedious and time consuming but I restarted the computer I was planning to activate on because at this point, I would do anything to try to make sure my Rockstar reset, including sacrificing a FuNoob to make sure it worked!!

Activate in a different Browser 

Some of the many recomendation include activating the next Rockstar in a different browser than you activated the previous Rockstar in. So if you do the first in Chrome, do the next in FF. I have heard of people that have tried this and it still failed. But I would be sure to try it. I did the first in FF, 2nd on my laptop in IE, 3rd main comp in Chrome, then final on the laptop in FF.

Activate on a different Computer or device

This is not something that Fu Recommends, but it was something that I decided to do.  I wanted to do everything I could for my FuAccount to realize I was activating a new Rockstar.  So out of 4 Rockstars, I activated my 2nd, and my 4th on my laptop rather than my main computer!

Be sure to have a FuFriend that is there each step of the way to like you for your first Rockstar and verify each new Rockstar activates.  Better to know right off in my opinion if the Rockstar failed!! With luck your additional rockstars will work because it is frustrating to no end to have a 35 credit ability bling not function!!
