AOL blocking Bladeforums

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

I received a message from longtime member Bill DeShivs that when he uses AOL Bladeforums comes up and then goes to a white page. He said he switches to Firefox and it works fine. Not sure what the issue is but he wanted to pass it along.

I'm on AOL but not getting blocked. However, I have been getting frequent error messages like this -

A couple minutes later its fine.....

I thought AOL died 20 years ago. Wow. Hope it works out for you, OP.

A quick search shows that the AOL browser has not been updated since 2006.

I am far from an expert but I would bet that his experience when using AOL is only going to go downhill. Might be about time to switch to Firefox (or another updated browser) as the go to.

There's a long story about why I still use AOL. If you knew it you would understand. I have other browsers available to me.
It appears this may be limited to one computer.

It now appears that all 3 of the computers that I use with AOL will not access Bladeforums.
Interesting.
