Is anyone else having problems playing Chicktionary and/or Spelling bee? I have tried to play on three accounts and they are all showing that there are no available puzzles. One could theoretically be maxed out but the other two should have 15k or so left in puzzles for each game. I can play Slugger, but prefer not to since I havent found a way to turn off the volume.

I don't play Word Slugger because the screen is absolutely disorienting to me. And I look at a laptop with multiple windows all day.
Makes me think MS's systems might be limiting your accounts to discourage play - if I had multiple accounts, I would stop using one (or more), use different IP addresses (if I continued to use multiple accounts), and make sure I never (past and future) credited miles from multiple accounts to the same FF account. I only have one account (and don't have the time for two) and don't want to risk being banned by the goose that gives me an extra 500+ miles a day.
No, I like to watch House on my laptop while I play. Its fairly hard to follow with the speakers muted.

I doubt it, I can still play every other game on every account so I doubt its to discourage play. As for the multiple accounts, I have one,my gf has one, my mom has one and my sister has one(which actually still can play every game) and they each have atleast two ff accounts that they feed into with LSC. I get bored and played theirs when I max mine out for the day or have problems with my account.
I have three online names. Sending all the miles to my regular AA ff account.
So far, so good. I do get weird messages, but think the are just system buggy things.
For example, logging on the first time one day "you have had too many errors logging into this account, fill in the letters in the box." Well, you can fill in those captcha letters until hell freezes over and your account won't be accessible. Just log of and log on again. Voila!.
Live Wire. I was getting into that and playing by the rules, suddenly "You have exhausted all the puzzles. Check for new puzzles later." Um, okay. So I log on with a different name and get a whole new set of puzzles that I never saw on the first login. ie, first was mostly sports stuff, second name brought up all sorts of recent music questions.

Mrs edlin303's showed up a little while ago, and mine just came in in between refreshes a few minutes ago. I was worried at first that mine wouldn't make the cut.

On this subject, I think one of the best new features in Vista is the ability to turn off sound for various applications individually-- I've turned off sound for Internet Explorer because I can't figure out how to silence slugger and am able to watch and hear TV in media center no problem.
If you're using Vista, right click on the volume and select the mixer-- it shows you every application with an individual volume control.

There's another trick for this too. I forget off the top of my head, but you make some blank file in the IE directory. IE finds the bogus file instead of the correct one in system32, and can't play sound.
What time zone? I usually get good news on AA Tuesday late Monday night PST, but nothing so far, and it's 10:58 here.
But my new day used to start at 5 pm PST, but no longer. Think it's midnight PST but haven't bothered to check.
ET.
its now 3am. new day just reset on one account. nothing on my main account. in fact, when i click to play a game, i dont get any pop up (daily limit or game). weird.

I've come across this if you stay logged in with a game displayed, yet don't play for a while. Sometimes quitting the game works, sometimes logging out works, sometimes the entire browser window sessions has to be quit. Either way, sooner or later, something resets, and game play can continue.
