    Forum update bugs?

    It would appear AFF has updated to Xenforo 2.3, lots of cool functionality there, such as using passkeys to login. Was there a post made about the update? So far I can see that highlighting text is darker than I would like - dark blue against black text doesn't work. The "like" button can be...

    Philippine Airlines Mabuhay Miles inclusion

    You can use the "Other Airlines & Frequent Flyer Programs" forum for a thread on their program. I did a quick search and there's at least 7 threads already in there on the airline or the program dating from 2013 to 2024. But I wouldn't say there's enough to start their own forum. But if you...

    Yes, very impulsive decision this early in the morning. I hope I actually get the magnet too.

    Crew Showed MA15+ Movie to all PAX on QF59

    I once flew on a domestic flight and the person across the aisle in an aisle seat (so visible from multiples seats/rows) was watching an incredibly graphic scene in game of thrones will full frontal female nudity. On their own device - but everyone else could see it. It happens.

    Rockfords discussion

    I misread what you were saying, but that is true. Maybe someone could clarify exactly, but they operate on a tiered membership. So, anyone can visit the winery and depending on the month pickup something. If you're on the mailing list (Bud Burst) I think you initially start out with the ability...

    How so? I'm based in Brisbane. The further you are away doesn't I think make a difference?

    Based on a range of factors, time is certainly one of them, but also purchasing history and that relates to not just how much you buy but what you buy, so perhaps not always the same ;)

    Colesworth price gouging?

    Prices have certainly risen, but I don't shop at Aldi so can't compare if they have stayed the same. I'm pretty confident I wasn't paying $9 for a 6-pack of sausages 2 years ago, but whether that's price gouging or inflation is difficult to tell. They've certainly made some good profits, but...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Would be very interesting considering the OneWorld/competitor relationship to Qantas, but I guess they'd never be able to fully integrate to Qatar's FF due to this, but should be useful for them nonetheless.

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    Didn't they previously have a curtain? I recall a curtain at some point in the past decade or so. Regardless, a curtain doesn't do much :p

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    It appears to be the same as the current design, unless I've overlooked a photo. I would have preferred a physical cabin divider, similar to what is found on the E190s, I believe.

    How do you store your wine [+ Fridge/Cabinet recommendations]

    I previously used CellarStak, from a previously generous contributor on AFF a long time ago. Was very useful until I crafted my own room.

    Wendouree allocations and general discussion

    Turns out that was all that was not included. Safely in my cellar now and I'll have to decide what I can try first (other than the Muscat) as recommended drink windows all seem to be into the future/end of this decade.

    Wendouree allocations and general discussion

    Got a hit on my card yesterday for circa ~$1300. I think when adding it all up originally it should have been ~$1800 so missed a few things, but still a good haul. Will see what I get when it arrives.

    Points strategy on a car purchase

    I bought two Suzuki Vitara's back in about 2017/2018 new on my Amex Plat Charge. I called Amex first and they suggested at the time if I paid off the first one before placing the second, there'd be no issue, ended up being about $60k all up. The dealership looked at me incredulously and couldn't...
