Critical
Webkinz Stadium not Working
First Reported on 05/21/10 Resolved on 05/31/10
Since May 21st's big updates in Webkinz World, members wishing to enter the Stadium Events have been unable to. We hope the Stadium entry will be fixed soon so we can enter our pets in the Cooking Competitions and Beauty Pageants soon.
Clubhouse Closed to Visitors
First reported on 04/23/2010
Resolved when event over 04/29/2010
When some members are trying to hunt for Goober, they are getting kicked out of the Clubhouse. They are able to see Goober and get a rocket on one account, and on another account in the same room or the same color zone they get kicked out. This does not happen all the time. [1] [2]
No Vacation Island Raffle Prizes
First reported on August 10, 2009 Resolved March 31, 2010
Updated Dec 17, 2009 (after maintenance)
Updated Mar 20, 2010
Every time a raffle is won at the parties on Vacation Island, winners see a blank prize alert box and no prizes are added to their docks, even after logging out and back in,opening and closing browsers and clearing caches. This happens in all cell phone zones, all time zones and all servers to all users (including Deluxe members) using all browsers every time. [3] [4] [5]
Fairy Falls Not Working
First reported November 13th, 2009 Updated Jan. 3, 2010
Archived March 7, 2010
Many, but not all, of our members are reporting that they are not able to get into the Fairy Falls feature. The screen/graphics freeze up and it is not possible to click on fairies to collect charms or prizes. The cursor retains the Wand shape and when you opt to log out, there is no cursor. You have no choice, you have to log out. Your account is frozen.
This problem does not appear to be Server dependent since members are reporting that they have accounts on the same server and one account is affected and the other is not.[6]
Woodland Wonders Freezes
First reported Oct 30th, 2009
Sometimes when clicking on a Male Fairy in the Woodland Wonders, as soon as the box "drops" the feature will "freeze" and the prize will not be awarded. Since this glitch started, no one has reported getting any Keys in the Woodland Wonders. Suspicions are that the "frozen boxes" were supposed to contain keys. It appears that this glitch started following site maintenance on October 28th.[7]
Zum Outfit Cannot be Worn
First reported October 30th, 2009
Updated on November 12th, 2009
Resolved Dec 18, 2009 [8]
Players who complete their Giggly Zum collection and click on the box to receive their prize are kicked out of Webkinz World. When they log back on, they find a "Zum Outfit" sitting in their docks. Instead of sitting with the rest of the clothing items, this "Zum Outift" is grouped with the coupons. This "Zum Outfit" cannot be worn by Webkinz. The system doesn't seem to recognize it as a clothing item. [9] [10]
Previous to the report of this glitch, players completing their Giggly Zum collection were awarded a three piece Zum Costume consisting of a "Zum Costume Hat", "Zum Costume Body", and "Zum Costume Feet". Those items could be worn as clothing. Players reporting this glitch are getting a single item called "Zum Outfit".
UPDATE: As of November 12th, the Giggly Zum Box can no longer be opened. The glitch affecting all of the rest of the boxes has been corrected, but anyone trying to open the Giggly Zum Box is logged out of Webkinz World.
Countdown to Christmas Does Not Work
First reported December 1st 2009 Fixed Dec 14
Everyone clicking on Ms. Birdy is getting a message "Sorry, this event is out of date." No gifts are given.[11][12]
UPDATE: Ganz has announced that Ms. Birdy wasn't supposed to show up until the 14th, and she has been removed from the Clubhouse. This report will be left pending for now until we see what happens on the 14th.
The Wishing Well
First reported 9/1/09
Upon spinning 3 Wishing Wells on the center line, the highest prize in the game, an error occurs, immediately knocking the user out of Webkinz World. When logging back in, the user does not receive their exclusive prize.[13][14]

First reported November 12th, 2009
Fixed on November 13th, 2009

First reported on November 23rd 2009 Fixed on November 25th 2009
When the new Christmas items were added to the wShop, all of the graphics were missing. By the end of the day, all of the graphics but one had been added to the system. Anyone who tried to put a Purple Christmas Tree in their house got a blue box instead, and they are now locked out of whatever room they put it in.[17]
Zums No Longer Have Parties
First reported November 10th, 2009 Fixed December 1st, 2009
Immediately following the change in programming that was supposed to ensure that all Zum Parties awarded Zummies, reports started coming in that it was impossible to get a Zum happy enough to get have a party. After three days (on November 12th) we have not had a single report of any player on our forum being able to get their Zum's happiness above 90%.[18]
No POTM Gifts for Schnauzer Adoptions
First reported Jan 1st 2010 Fixed on January 5th, 2010

UPDATE: Ganz has fixed the glitch for new Schnauzer adoptions. Players who adopted their pets before the glitch was fixed should receive their prizes on Monday, Jan 4th.
Woodland Wonders Freezes
First reported Oct 30th, 2009
Sometimes when clicking on a Male Fairy in the Woodland Wonders, as soon as the box "drops" the feature will "freeze" and the prize will not be awarded.

Zum Prize Boxes Won't Open
First reported Oct 28th, 2009
Corrected on November 12th, 2009
Following site maintenance on Oct 28th, members started reporting that they were unable to open up Zum prize boxes after collecting pictures of all of the Zums. Clicking on the prize box to redeem the prize logs the player out of his/her account every time, without awarding the prize. This glitch appears to be system-wide, affecting all players on all servers. [23]
NOTE: The glitch for all of the boxes except the Giggly Zum Box has been fixed.
New eStore Figures Cannot be KinzPosted
First reported on November 26th 2009

Four Seasons Trees Cannot Be Moved
First Reported on November 21st 2009
All Four Seasons Trees on all accounts are now "stuck" to the floor. Once placed in a room, they cannot be removed by players. The only way to get a tree removed is to contact Customer Service and have them move it to the dock. Also, if a pet is in "walk mode" and a player clicks on the tree, the pet will not walk to the tree. Instead, the season changes.[25]
Zum Rooms Will Not Load
First Reported on November 24th 2009
Starting on Tuesday afternoon, all Zum rooms stopped loading. The system will not go past the "loading pet" page. This glitch appears to be system-wide.[26]

January 2010 Calendar
First Reported Jan 1st 2010
Fixed January 20th, 2010
It appears that Quizzy's Calendar has not yet been updated for the 2010 year. We are getting reports from all over the forum that answered questions are not revealing a hidden picture. Also, the questions don't "stay answered". Once a player exits out of the calendar screen and goes back again, the questions are once again marked as unanswered. And, players answering the Daily Bonus Question are not having it show up as answered on their calendar screen.
Weathered Barn Flooring
First Reported Jan 1st, 2010

Mr Moo - Can't buy Ice Cream
First Reported Feb 17th 2010 Seems to be fixed March 3, 2010
Mr Moo is now back in the park.
You approach him. He offers you ice cream. Sometimes there is a flash and you can catch a glimpse of the selections. Sometimes there is nothing.
That's it. If you click on him again, the same thing happens.
Communal Contest Glitch
First Reported March 9, 2010 Seems to be fixed March 9, 2010
Instead of offering the safari jacket, ballerina bed, 700 kc, and the bright ideas lamp to vote on, some accounts offer 4 different options: the short mahogany coffee table, mystical ottoman, winter feast dining table, and wheat fields window. This glitch seems to occure in accounts using server #19.[34]
Fun Fiesta Skirt & Ruffle Skirt
First reported June 2008
The Fun Fiesta Skirt has been removed from the Shop
Despite having different names, descriptions, and prices, both the Fun Fiesta Skirt ($270KC) and the Ruffle Skirt ($150KC) have the exact same graphic. Both items are sold in the KinzStyle (Persephone's) Shop.

Stadium not loading/Members cannot compete
First reported after maintenance July 21st, 2010
Members experience a green loading screen. The stadium never loads & members are not able to enter their pets to compete. [36]
Minor
The Employment Office
First reported on 9/22/09
There are inconsistencies with the information and actual behavior in regards to failing a job twice in a row. Upon reaching level 3 in a job, Tabby Von Meow says that you can come back and play at this level all of the time. However, upon failing a job two times in a row, you are demoted to level 2, contrary to Tabby Von Meow's information.[37]
Developer Note: This isn’t a bug, it’s a misinterpretation of what Tabby Von Meow is saying (just as the interpretation that since see said “all of the time” that you shouldn’t have to wait 8 hours). Players are still bound by the rules of the Employment Office, which say if you fail twice in a row, you drop a level. Note that if we ever redo the voice over (which we are considering doing for a number of reasons), we will change this line.
Light Denim Skirt & Powder Blue Skirt
First reported September 16th 2009 Fixed on October 5th 2009'
The new Powder Blue Skirt has the exact same graphic as the old Light Denim Skirt. Ganz addressed this issue in the Webkinz Newz on the 17th and said the graphic would be fixed "soon".
On October 5th, 2009, the graphic for the Powder Blue Skirt was changed. It looks similar to the one Ganz displayed in the Webkinz Newz report. It's that skirt, without the bows.
Pets Don't Like Farm Fresh Candy Canes
First Reported October 2009 Fixed on November 23rd 2009
Unlike the Ossilily Bone from the Collie's PSI, the Farm Fresh Candy Cane from the Peppermint Puppy's PSI is programmed so that only the Peppermint Puppy likes to eat it. When other pets eat the Farm Fresh Candy Cane, they react as if they have been fed another pet's Pet Special Food.[38]

Polar Plunge
First Reported in 2008 Fixed on December 7th, 2009
The score cap on the Black Diamond course is 10,000 although scores of above that level are not only possible but NEEDED to finish the course. As of now, the lowest score completing Black Diamond is about 10,200, however when the game is over, a message will pop up saying that the score is not "reasonable" and Kinzcash will not be given and score not submitted.[39]
Regal Banquet Dining Table
Originally reported 1/22/09
Fixed on December 17th 2009
The Regal Banquet Dining Table in the Clubhouse has items sitting on it, but Webkinz players can no longer place items on their tables. The programming was changed on Jan 22nd 2009. On that day, all items that had been sitting on the tables got stuck. Players had to contact Ganz to have them "unstuck". [40]
Friend List Disappearing From Phone
First Reported October 22nd, 2009 Fixed on December 17th, 2009
There are widespread reports of certain accounts having their friend lists wiped clean each and every night. This glitch seems to be affecting a particular group of accounts, but it has not yet been determined what those accounts have in common. Every time one of those players wants to send something via KinzPost, they need to re-add the friend to their list.[41]
Wheel of WOW awards wrong prize
First reported Jan 20th, 2010
Players landing on the Football Table get the Oceans Dresser instead. [42]
Some High Scores in the Arcade Unattainable
First Reported: June 3, 2010
When the High Score list was added back to Webkinz World many members noticed that Ganz had placed default scores on the lists. These scores use fake accounts and names and in many cases are unattainable.
The following games are currently affected by this glitch: Candy Bash, Color Storm, Triple Strike Solitaire
Pink Cockatoo Loses Clothing When Seated
First Reported October 16th, 2009
When a clothed Pink Cockatoo sits down, the clothes disappear. This glitch appears to affect all Pink Cockatoos on all servers.[43]
Pink Cockatoo Never Stops Flying
First Reported October 2009
Unless seated in a chair, or taking a bath, the Pink Cockatoo never stops flying. The Cockatoo always has its wings spread out, hovering above the ground, like it is flying, even when it is not moving.[44]
Trivial
Candy Bash
First reported on 9/19/09
Candy Bash no longer displays the correct level during the level up notification. Instead, it displays "[gameLevel]" where the level number is supposed to be. The display indicating number of remains tries displays as "2[lives]Tries".
Cash Cow
First reported on 9/17/09
Cash Cow no longer displays the correct level during the level up notification. Instead, it displays "[gameLevel]" where the level number is supposed to be. This does not affect gameplay in any other way.[45]
Toy Soldier Coat
First reported on 9/17/09
The Toy Soldier Coat is misspelled "Toy Solider Coat".[46]
"Account Opened" Dates are Wrong
Resolved Sept 30 maintenance --Canonymous 19:35, 1 October 2009 (EDT)

Dr. Quack
First reported on 9/22/09
Fixed on December 17th, 2009
Dr. Quack uses incorrect grammar when speaking to you about your pet. He incorrectly uses "you're" instead of "your".[48]

First Reported December 2009
Fixed January 20th, 2010
If you have more than one Kinzville Gingerbread House in your dock, the system calls them "Kinzville Gingerbead Houses", leaving out the "r" in bread.
Doug the Dog Uses Wrong Item Names
First reported June 2009
Doug the Dog uses the wrong names for two of the prizes he gives out. He calls the "Mining Helmet" a "Gem Finder Hat". He also calls the "Mining Suit" a "Gem Finder T-Shirt".[49]
Notes
Surveys
Sample Survey Sept 17, 2009
Sometimes the survey questions are a little difficult for us to understand. Many WW players would not know the difference between a "full room theme" and a "playset". They are all "themes" to us.
The question will be answered but the survey results will not be very meaningful.
