Recently, I started experiencing a new problem w/ MileTracker...
Whenever I click on miletracker to update my account, the software automatically opens a new window with the following address:

Any idea how to stop this?

"Any idea how to stop this?"
You're familiar with your HOSTS file ?
Usually C:\windows\hosts (no extension)
add:
127.0.0.1 speed.pointroll.com
127.0.0.1 ads.pointroll.com
127.0.0.1 media.pointroll.com
127.0.0.1 mirror.pointroll.com
127.0.0.1 www.pointroll.com
should pretty well kill 'em all off ^
/.

I just received a helpful response from miletracker:
Thank you for letting us know about the pop-up problem. It appears that USA
Today is using a new ad server and we need to update MileTracker
accordingly. This is the second time that this has happened. We will get
the problem fixed as soon as possible. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Thanks for your support.

Hawaiian Airlines is no longer working. Looks like there was a slight change to the login procedure on the HA website.

After a few months of not being able to access my Miles and More account, Miletracker is suddenly able to do so again. No updates were downloaded either...strange 
On an unrelated note, I just got this email - has anyone received this or is getting miles out of the surveys?
([email protected] was the email address with which I signed up for Miletracker).

Dear Forum Member,
As a USA TODAY MileTracker user, you are invited to participate in an exciting
new research group – our USA TODAY MileTracker Forum. For occasionally
completing surveys in which NO personally identifiable information will be
requested, you will earn frequent flier program miles – not some third-party
currency or points that you will probably never use – but MILES! These will be
awarded from most of the major air carriers and will be automatically deposited
in 1000-mile increments in the account of your choice.
Your answers from the surveys will provide valuable feedback to airlines,
hotels, agencies, & others, to help them improve the quality of the products and
services we use almost daily. Ongoing participation is completely voluntary and
you can discontinue at any time.

I received two surveys today, one about wait times at airports and another about the registered traveller program at ATL. Didn't qualify for either one after the first question.

As of last week, I cannot refresh my data. I begin the download and then minimize the window. It freezes at about 90% and I eventually get an "out of memory message". I called Miletracker's tech support and they told me to reload the program. Unfortunately, it did nothing to improve things. Thoughts? Solutions? Thanks!
