Definitely ditching the flash (or minimising it) would be a good thing. I am not sure if QF's site is that much better though - it's also flash based these days and has lots of irritating bugs.

I think it would make everyone's life easier if points were accrued on each flight sector independently. (added as an edit as an afterthought)
I agree with this one too. It's especially painful when the flights are in two different CoS.

It also bugs me that AKL-LHR is treated as one sector for earning; but two sectors for burning.
