I redeemed another 2500 AA miles last night about 8 hours before your post went up. It has never asked me for a post code, just the name on the account, account number and they sent me an email confirmation. I can see in old posts that other Aussies have successfully redeemed for miles though I know LSC won't SHIP things out of the USA.

Since I am new at this and seem to be redeeming every 4.5 days, I may have another two in before I see any action from AA.

Yeah in FF - I figured it might be OK to visit Microsoft's websites using IE, which is working (and is now not working). Will try again in the morning.

Only some games get the runtime error. I've been able to play Picture This with no problems. Killing time until the word games return.

I am getting this for the home page and I am using IE.

Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

I am having no problem playing in Firefox, but I get a run time error in Explorer! Makes no sense. *sigh* But at least I can do it in Firefox.

On a different note, does anyone know if they are really going to add more puzzles to the games. I have maxed out a bunch of games including Clink and Flexicon and it has been months in the case of clink, and at least a month in the case of Flexicon since I did so, and no new games have been added - I check every day or so.

im getting the run time error in firefox too. as far as new games go...ive been maxed out on flexicon, crosswire, chicktionary, matt lauer, and spelling bee for anywhere from 1-3 months. flexicon has been the longest. i dont think they'll be adding more puzzles.

It's back up and I got my 1000 points for the day!

LOL, has anyone else ever been forced to type a BAD word into a puzzle?

How bad is BAD ?

There are some very weird question/answers in Flexicon...

BTW - you have a lot more patience than I... It's pretty rare for me these days to get more than 200 points/week...

The answers for Chicktionary are sometimes naughty words. I generally find myself amused rather than offended. You'd think someone at Microsoft would have screened for things like that.
