SHOOTER57 My members have on going problems with AOL .All attempts at a cure are temporary.Is there anything I can do on my end to overide them or that my members can do.Also popup blockers sometimes give problems ditto ad blockers designed to do more than block spam.

Orpheas I have AOL and the only thing I could tell you is for them to load AOL, minimize it then use Internet Explorer. That is what I do and I have no problems what so ever.

Orpheas I just found another reason to hate AOL...

They just added (without permission to download it to our computer) a program to our service called "SpyZapper". The keyword doesn't work to access the options and when you sign on to AOL SpyZapper wants to start. It is a program that looks for programs on your computer that slow it down. (Knock on wood. I wonder...let me think of one). SpyZapper takes forever to load and then 5 secs to scan the computer. I wish I could kill AOL, but 50,000 websites I am affiliated with know my aol address. I hate AOL and what they do. They completely destroyed pogo.com. (which pogo got enough complaints that they are starting to not work with AOL). They tried doing business with google (for those that remember the 1 month that lasted). Google got tired of the AOL ads that were in their searches. AOL is the devil of the internet. They say they always try to do somthing good for members, but it always turns out to not work. I just hope peter and marcus don't go over to the dark side and let AOL work in "partnership".

Not nearly nuff said.

chingkong Orpheas, if you click on the words "about spyzapper" while its scanning and set the preferences by checking the box next to "do not scan this computer," it will disable it.
