For me, I get the popup if I hit six of the solve buttons in quick succession. If I just do five at a time -- even if it means going on to other sections -- I have no problems.

Just wait for the search listings at the bottom of the page to load. I can usually do 3 really fast, then wait for the bottom of the page to load and do another 3 really fast, etc. When we get the botchecks we are just too fast.

I have had the clue word ahead of time not be the clue word when it came time to pick, but never before did the word and picture not match, and never before, as far as I know, did my partner and I have different choices!!!!

I am sure it is just a bug, and a *very* random one, since I have played enough Picture this to get almost 3,000 points from the game, and this is the first time this has happened. Still something I thought people in Flyer Talk would like to know.

I've had that happen also. Sometimes not all the pictures load until after I've made choice. BTW, there is are flowers called cosmos but I figure most people go for the universe in that one.

Go slower.

At least when hitting the solve box. You are probably entering all the letters for a number of different words, then hitting the solve boxes really fast and the game doesn't like that one bit...usually you can hit 3 solve boxes in rapid fire, but at four or five, you'll get the intra-game captchka box...

We encourage you to go out and place your airline mileage prize order again.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

A "cosmos" is a type of flower, as well as well as the Carl Sagan-style universal order, as well as some pink martinis.

I've always been unsure whether the two players get the same set of pictures.

Same here, except that they refunded me a ton of tickets, and the redemptions went through.

I also got the email. Since no tickets were ever deducted I never expected the prizes to go through, so when they didn't I wasn't surprised.

I was surprised at how long it took to get this email!

You too, huh? Although my one redemption did not go through, they also deducted no tickets for it, and I'm quite happy with the ton of tickets I suddenly acquired. Waiting until this Tuesday or the next to see if I get tons of miles out of it.

I too got refunded an extra amount, let me ask those who are in the same boat....mine show up under "ticket balance" but not "life time total" how do yours show up?

I have tried redeem, they were properly deducted from my balance, and a confirm email was sent, so now I am waiting for the standard 19 days or so....anyone else get miles actually posted yet from this?

Don't worry about the lifetime total -- they screwed that up a long time ago. Even before this snafu, my lifetime total was way less than the amount of tickets I'd redeemed.

I expect the first redemptions to show up on Tuesday, if they're prompt. Of course, AA miles aren't always prompt, so realistically, the following Tuesday they should show up. I'm pretty hopeful.
