I'm glad you got your problem worked out. I agree with those that said it was a temporary glitch. I hope it never happens to you again. It's happened to me before. The game freezes or crashes, but that's rare. Good luck and happy crushing.
I am also playing since long long time and it keeps me fresh. And if i miss it someday ( which happens very very rarely) i feel as if i missed something important. It has become an integral part of life.
