JGrabAllGifts by Josh Miller

Accepting gifts in Mafia Wars has gotten easier over the years with the new Zynga Message Centre, but if you don't watch out those gifts pile up back in Facebook land and sooner or later you have to go clear them out!
This is when we use Josh Millers JGrabAllGifts bookmarklet, simply drag it to your bookmarklets bar and your ready to go!!

Next step head to the Facebooks request page
http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php
And dread clicking on each one of those accepts once at a time

Now is when Josh comes to save us!
Open up JGrabAllGifts and click options


Now this is where the power of  JGrabAllGifts comes into play!

First if you play more games then just Mafia Wars (or want to also accept gifts from Rewardville) Click "Scan page for Apps i use" JGrabAll will check to see what applications you have outstanding gifts from and add them to the list



Click "grab all apps" and these will be added to your list of applications that Jgraball will accept gifts from

Next the Options page
This is where i think Jgraball does a much better job then ANY other gifting app, all the options are self explanatory and simple to use a simple tick to select or deselect a option


The only thing I will cover a bit more in-depth is the "Skip gifts that contain"
This option lets you skip gifts for manual collection later, and with the run of gifting event that Zynga throws at us, I add each one to my "skip" list, by typing in the gift name. In the case of the last event, I was still skipping "Endangered Animal" Jgraball automatically leaves all these gifts, and I can choose to accept them after the event or later on during the event when Triple mastery opens up

Lastly the "correct settings" for JGrabAllGifts this is open for debate, almost everyone sets it to 100 gifts, as that's the maximum that Facebook will display at one time. But these are my settings below
Delay of 40 seconds means i can gift back as each one pops up on my screen, and 1 Popup window, means I'm not trying to handle 3-5 windows at once
some people set the delay lower, and add more popup windows for faster opening, some set longer delays to give them a chance to return more gifts!
Whatever your setting JGrabAllGifts is STILL the easiest way to accept gifts, ignore useless Facebook events and also ignore the next scam group that 10 of your friends invited you to!

Set your settings, click start and wait for it to finish 100 gifts 40 seconds is still over a hour to accept them all, but its a LOT less annoying then accepting each on manually!

The last feature of Jgraball is the running total, how much useless crap you have ignored and the total number of gifts its accepted, In a little over a year JGrabAll has saved me from accepting over 20K gifts manually! And who said Zynga was a FAN of SPAM EVENTS?

If you aren't already using JGrabAllGift click below and drag to your bookmarklets bar!

Still confused? Still not sure? Well Josh Miller has also made 2 video clip demonstrations so you can watch a demo of it in action, and see if Jgraball is your ticket to a little bit less clicking in life!
