Happened to me! Also the setting for this is under "chat" -> "chat settings", which is entirely separate from the main settings menu, so don't get confused.

The first generation of Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX cards are just about sold out! Thank you for the support! A complaint I got a lot was that the game can’t be saved to the e-reader - the next print run fixes this! I’ll be starting up sales again in June!
