Yo,
I've ascended with my NG multi yesterday and when I tried to convert my AP into Life Force Cache (there was like 24,000,000,000,000). I've clicked but nothing really happen and my AP gone. Can anyone explain or tell me whats going on?

Clicking on the button transforms all your APP to ATs.
There is no APP-conversion to LFC anymore, that happens automatically (a little bit every turn).
Clicking that button if you have a lot of APP, effectively removes your APP. It says so with a rather big warning in the text on it.

Yes, I noticed it but my friend ascended and clicked few days ago and he claimed LFC. It was not more than 1 week ago.

Your friend lies. (Or is otherwise mistaken and saying things that are untrue.)
Such a conversion has been impossible since February~March.

Costly turns...
Juliette, Sol :
I believe a check-box with some information is very much needed here. On my multi I got about 200 Tril outstanding LF waiting to be converted. One 'drunk' mous click can destroy all that hard work...

The same goes for 'drunk' attacking.

Checkbox vs. paying attention.. *weighs* Ah well, guess given the limited times you would use this button to begin with, that could actually be not a very bad thing to have.

Well, you should be right because he haven't logged on ascended for years.
Honestly I think that admin should delete the message saying about AP converting to LF. Its really confusing.

Are you making a list of people who do not pay attention to what they click on?

Meh to that. If it was not explained on the page, you would have a point. Since it
is explained, all those 'screwed over' people are just people who didn't read.
There is no accounting for willful ignorance. You have the information readily available on the page, whether you use it or not is your own responsibility.

Not much we can do on our end to fix the issue between chair and keyboard. Older players (where this happens) should realise that things will (and do) change. To that end, the text is made to be rather informative. But yes, if you presume you know exactly how it all works, you will lose stuff.
We agree to disagree, then.

I am the funnest.

I'm going to second (or third or fourth) what a terrible thing this is. I just lost a bunch of APP because the site is not internally consistent. On Power-Up, it says that conversion is found via cosmic trade. When you get to market, you get a long run on sentence about how everything will be used, but not to worry because it won't let you get too low. Since the previous page said conversion was on the market, and this page only had one place to do conversion, it is just a coin flip which one to trust.
The issue was not one of reading, but of deciding to trust the wrong page. It really isn't fair to lose all of my APP (my turn count was already full), because I trusted the wrong page. The frequent typos on SGW are always a pain (even the super-outdated page when you get ready to ascend), but this is super destructive.
