Is anyone out there having difficulty entering the MINI website? It comes up with two choices: play a game; or enter the site. I click on the MINI site, the site looks like it comes up, but won't let me enter. Any comments?

do you have a pop-up blocker? Might be the problem.

Have you been able to get onto MINIUSA before?

If not, then you most likely need to download the newest version of Flash.

I have this problem when I have my firewall on with script blocking. The complicated scripts on the site are judged potential threats. All works well if I turn off my Norton Internet Security....

No problems here.

In fact, things are great, because I went to the owner's lounge and discovered my MCS is now on a boat and in transit! Woot woot!

I noticed this problem last week after I had started using Google's pop-up blocker. For Google, I can hold down the Ctrl key (on a PC) and click on the features and things work okay. I was just in the Owner's Lounge without any problems and no work-arounds needed.

I hate the MINIUSA site, way too much flash and popups. I mean, seriously ... do they need to pop a new window up every time?

Sounds like a pop-up blocker needs disabling.

I have trouble accessing the site sometimes with Netscape, but can always get on without a problem with Internet Explorer. I haven't checked my settings on the two so don't know if it is related or not.

Speaking of spyware - anyone not using AdAware should be. It and pop-up blocker are probably the 2 best freeware pieces of software on the 'net today.
