Allowing Facebook Games but not other gaming

Is there a way to allow my child to access Facebook games such as Farmville, Petville, etc.  but not allow other gaming sites?  My  child has access to Facebook, but is unable to do the Farmville like games because of the general restriction of "gaming."

 

Also, I would like to allow my child access to a game called Maplestory, but it seems that every single sub url through the site becomes restricted.  Is there a way to avoid this, or do I have to enter each and every new url into the allowed section of the setting?  It's annoying.

The steps in the link are what I followed originally.  I allowed facebook.com, for example, but that only allows facebook, not the games one gets to through facebook.  so the question remains, how do you allow the games (e.g. petville, farmville, etc.) without having to try to figure out each and every url?

never mind. I figured it out.  Now to see if it works.  I am having all kinds of problems with this software ever since the major update occurred. Seems as if a LOT of people are experiencing the same things - missing icon in the tray, disabling on its own, no timer anymore, etc. Frustrating.

Hi farmerlibrarian,

 

Thanks for the update.  I'm glad to know Facebook issue has been solved.  Are you still experiencing the issues with missing icon in the try and others?

 

Thanks,

Katie

well actually it has not been solved.   I allowed apps.facebook.com, but when you try to go onto one of the games, the page comes up, but not the whole game and it won't work. What gives?

and here's another thing - even when you allow apps.facebook.com, all the other sub urls are not allowed, such as static.farmville.com, etc. etc.
