From the Tools menu in FF you can select what browser FF displays itself as to other sites. Whenever I get a message saying only IE is supported for a site, I just select the IE option in the menu and continue on my way. I've never had it not work.
I'm using Firefox and I've never had a problem accessing the site.
It does that for me from time to time - sometimes I just have to wait a while (like an hour or three), sometimes if I do a Google search for it I can find a link that will work, and sometimes clicking on the link in message #1 is the charm. Just a minute ago it redirected me to MSN so I tried the OP's link and it worked.

Pretty frustrating.....
Same for me over the past few days. I usually just go to games page to sign in:

Still not able to redeem for miles. I sent a message to the help desk. Microsoft then sent me an auto-reply email, which gave a list of FAQ's and said that if you did not see the answer, reply to the email they sent, which I did. I encourage everyone to email them.
I'm tempted to spend 1500 tickets on the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Headset since I don't have a headset for use with the computer yet. But that's another 75 games of Chicktionary to play to make it up..
a little digging reveals a few common issues with the site:
it's been around at least a year and a half, and many people have claimed to receive their prizes
the site was taken offline for a while, and brought back in nov 2007
ff miles were first added with the recent relaunch
historical complaints usually focus on msn's aggressive but arbitrary approach to what it deems cheaters. while ostensibly designed to prevent bots from automatically accruing tickets, the system catches many legitimate users. making matters worse, alleged cheaters are not alerted until after they try to redeem tickets; many are not alerted at all. msn provides no feedback, explanation, or recourse for users deemed 'cheaters.'
i was not able to find any references online to the problems reported in this topic ('we cannot process your request').

To give you a little history, when LiveSearchClub first started, Microsoft had no failsafe for botting. Two very large, very tech savvy internet forums found this out and had a field day. It took about a week before MS got wise and basically closed all of the current accounts without warning.
What we think they do now to prevent botting is basically look at the amount of time it takes you to solve a puzzle. If you're faster than what MS has put in place, then they flag your account and you're SOL.
If you're account gets flagged, then you're done. No prizes will be sent, no emails will be returned, etc. It is, however, legitimate. Many people have received prizes. Of course, many honest players have been flagged as well.
All very interesting. I guess at this point I will just wait n see. I had not tried any of the suggestions on using anagram dictionaries etc, and was playing the old fashioned way. Yesterday, I could not sign in at all from home. I was successful in signing in at work today, but I can't play from here, so I will try my desktop at home instead of my laptop. I have no idea, and maybe it was just something going on yesterday. I have redeemed for US points, and now have another 900+ pts, so I will keep slogging away with the hopes of actually getting something in return. My account is still active, so...
I'm testing the waters. I put in an order for the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Headset. I got a confirmation number for the order and the confirmation screen tells me that: Rewards will be delivered within approximately 12 weeks from the date redemption request is fully processed, unless otherwise stated
I work for AirIncentives that is powering the Live Search Club mileage redemptions. The Airline Redemptions are temporarily down. They should be back up in a day or two. I will post again once they are live.

I apologize for the inconvenience and confusion.
Wow, thanks for stopping in with that info. I can't wait for them to re-appear. Any information about average processing time we should expect? Since they're a new option, I'm sure we're all dying to know.

Between 15-20 days depending on the airline that you choose. The delay is to screen for fraud.
As a word to the wise...most people that use anagram solvers will be weeded out as cheaters...

Thanks for being candid Airborn Flyer. Can you specify where in Microsoft's Terms and Conditions that it specifies that using an anagram solver is against the rules?
