This change is related to Facebook only and brings the game in line with how invites/gifts/boosts MySpace and Hi5. We have enabled in-game accepting of gifts/invites/boosts, Facebook has given developers the ability to delete requests on behalf of players. If you have requests available still accept them, never ignore them, when you hit Viking Clan they will get cleared out from your request inbox and you can take appropriate action in game.
Thank you so much! The way FB was running things was a serious annoyance, this new system has my full support. Much more user friendly. Thumbs up!
