(Slightly) Faster Way of Donating: CLOSE the item window!

Event

It's much faster for me, especially with the lag, to donate like this:click item -> click "I don't need it" -> IMMEDIATELY click the x and close the item window -> move to next item

​

90% of the time it will count the item even though you didn't let the little window refresh, but it saves like 30 seconds per item for me. You don't have to wait for the button to reload and change from "I don't need it" to "Wait, I think I'll keep it" [also, if it doesn't count one, KEEP GOING, sometimes it's still processing the request and you'll open the next window and see you're up one more than you thought]

It's still agonizing but it still cuts a chunk out of the irritatingly long donation time.

I hope this helps.

​

Edited to add: I honestly thought this was one of those things that went without saying until I saw the browser script for "next item" that someone was kind enough to create, and I saw that using that script was slower than this method has been for me. So that's why I wanted to say something, even if it is stating the obvious for a lot of people!

I've been doing this from the start. Sometimes it doesn't show it counted an item, but when I go to the next one it has the proper number. So all good!

I also refresh the CC page right away after the new page loads when I press the level. You don't have to watch it all for the points. So I refresh it and immediately go back to my inventory and do it again.

ctrl+w closes the pop-up window~

I find clicking faster since I'm doing it all with the mouse, but this is still a good tip

Instead of closing the item window, I've been just clicking on another item immediately and the pop-up will automatically refresh. Still taking awhile, but not as bad as before!

I noticed when doing it that way that it doesn't always work (for me at least). Closing and opening a new one worked better in my experience.

I just discovered that when I close the pop-up window, another one will not open unless I refresh my entire inventory. D: Oh well!

Oh, ick, that would drive me nuts!

That takes longer for me, personally, but I was doing this first. It may depend on your connection and the time of day which one is faster.

Interesting! I'm going to try closing them and see how it goes.

Yup, that's what I've been doing so far. It's never missed an item!

You're right, and that sucks because it makes it harder to multitask.
