Lots of AA postings being reported back to me. Absolutely no logic of what posted and what didn't, based on redemption date, and posting effective/actual date. Considering how easy it would be to put in a bad character in first/last/account fields, it's inevitable that some mileage will be lost.
Would prefer to believe that this is similar to last month, where there were a few overnight postings, then everything caught up in early morning.

Anyone else having problems playing today? I can sign in but when try to play flexicon the screen turns light blue. Hope it's just a broken link.
I had that problem but then realized that you just need to "scroll up" the screen and there the game is. The pale blue screen is below the game. Once you start playing the pale blue screen will go away. I originally reset the game a few times until I noticed what was going on.
For those having trouble playing MCF Prime Suspects using Firefox, I would advise you to use IE for that game. Often I would have to start/re-start the game 3 or 4 times to get it to come up. With IE it starts up first time every time.

I agree. It seems the game doesn't get along with Firefox.

1) Let's say you enter a sporting event. Your ticket is scanned, you've memorized your row & seat number, and start to walk towards your seat. Do you throw your ticket stub on the floor and continue on to your seating area? No, you keep your stub, at least through the duration of your stay at the venue to prove to any & all that that is your seat. If you lose your stub you may lose your seat (many places won't let you get anywhere near any premium sections without your ticket). The burden of proof is on you and stays with you for the duration of the event. An usher can come to your seat at any time and ask to see your ticket.
I'll for sure keep my ticket (screenshot) in case they want to check, but I doubt they would assume I stole/printed a false ticket w/o proof. showing the ticket is like sending them a screenshot, while being flagged a cheater would be like them assuming u r using a false ticket. and U dont have to prove at entrance u are not using a false ticket. they have to check if ur ticket is valid if u bought a ticket legally u will NEVER be denied access or called a cheater.
CLS' system seems to be good, I was getting anxious about being flagged for playing too fast, but my miles were just posted CLS.

This isn't like Pudding Guy or M&M tea guy, but it ain't a bad deal...
I agree. it is a fun way of winning miles. hope it lasts a long time.
my buddy redeemed tickets for DVD CAMCORDER & never recieved a confirmation email. good thing he wrote down the confirmation number because he will file a class action lawsuit if they don't send it.
What exactly would he base his defense on? Microsoft has about a billion lawyers whose jobs are to write up all that legal crap, that none of us read, when we signed up to play the games and I'm sure they covered all of their bases. Even if you could bring it to trial, which I doubt , it would become a matter of proof. Microsoft would say " your honor, we have found that bots are likely to do one, or more, of these 83 things and the plaintiffs accounts showed numbers 1-4,17,23 and 36. In our studies,over 600 billion cases, these exceed the number of possible violations for an honest account." Then it would be your friends time to prove his innocence and I would go out on a limb and say that his only proof would be him saying he didn't cheat, and that is not good enough in a court of law.
On MCF, prime suspects, I've finished all the basic puzzles for each of the five settings:
Rooftop
Abe's Red Hots
Mingo's Playhouse
Millie the Milliner
Rialto Theater
Is there any way to get new puzzles opened up?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, no, that's all there is to the game.
If you're ever in doubt about how many games are left, go to "Leaderboard," and you can compare your points to the leader. Chances are that the leader has played all of the puzzles. (Of course, you may not be able to get to the maximum score if you missed some answers, or if LSC failed to credit you for a game or two--that occassionally happens to me.)

The downloadable/purchased standalone game has tons of other locations, plus other mini-games when you finish investigating each suspect. It's fun but gets repetitive... after a couple hours you know exactly where each thing is instantly (even if you have to find three butterflies in the same picture... they don't move!).
This is just a subset of the complete game... I thought they did a good job of adapting it to Live Search (even if some of the clueage sucked really bad).
