Duane, Thanks for the advice, When I leave the fprum I just X out. As for cached pages I don't know what they are, where they are, any help appreciated...Val
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><i>Originally posted by tinob</i> <br />Hi Thanks for responding. I'm running <b>AOL 9.0 security edition</b>, Windows XP 2, and Outlook Express. Any help?
Val <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote"> My guess is the AOL 9.0 Security Edition is either blocking our cookie or purging it. I would contact AOL tech support and ask them. AOL is the worst possible means of getting on the internet. They themselves are trying to move people to broadband providers that will give them a cut. It was designed as an enhanced Bulletin Board and then a multilevel forum. As an internet portal it is a disaster. Do you have a cable company with broadband? It will change your life. By the way I was one of the first 100 members of AOL, it started life as AppleLink Personal Edition.
Thanks for the advice Frank...I'll try Aol tech support, again...AOL has been trouble free for me since 97/98...but things happen right...we've been on cable broadband hook up for some time now and like it fine...as soon as the admiral clears some of her school work from this computer I'm going to do a restore to a time somewhere before all this nonesence started. I have two other computers on this same hookup and they have access to the forum without a problem...there's a GREMLIN in here somewhere for sure. Geek squad gave it a clean bill though.
in the aol browser you should have a drop down for temp internet files or cookies. It might be in a sub menu or pop up box under Options, or maybe preferences.
I would actually recommend that you use the internet explorer browser or something else other than the AOL one. After you connect just minimize the aol window and pop open a third party browser.
I've had millions of problems on my dad's pc using the aol web interface. You only need their stuff to get to the web, not to surf it!
Val I just ran into your same problem. I don't know if this will help or not but this is what I found. I have a link on my web page to this site. I clicked on my link to this site and was reading post, I tried to respond to a post and it told me I was not logged on. I logged on and tried to respond another time. Again it told me I was not logged on. I looked in the address bar of Internet Explorer and noticed that the address was still in my own site www.Knottycat.com I exited out of my site and entered this site by typing the address www.catalina-capri-25s.org in the browser and it works fine, my logon holds.
Bottom line, if your accessing this site from somewhere else (ie. another web page via a link) you might want to try typing in the address in the address bar in IE and go from there.
Duane, I've done the same thing for years to logon and then suddenly NADA. I type in my password and username and click on the logon tab and I'm told that I've logged on successfully and when the page reappears the username / password boxes are blank again.
On two occasions the process worked for perhaps an half hour and then back to the problem.
In a few weeks my wifes work stored on the pc will be removed and when it is safe I'll run a restore to a time before all this nonesense started.
Going to need you to do a few things. I am not sure how the AOL browser handles this stuff, so these instructions are for Internet Explorer.
1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. 2. Click the Privacy tab, and then click Advanced. 3. Click Override automatic cookie handling, and then specify how you want Internet Explorer to handle cookies from first-party Web sites and third-party Web sites (a Web site other than the one you are currently viewing). o specify that you want Internet Explorer to always allow cookies to be saved on your computer, click Accept. 4.

Next – 1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. 2. On the front page next to temporary internet files go to the settings tab 3. Set file size to at least 31 mb if not more. Click okay 4. If you know all the passwords to other sites you might login to click delete cookies. If not, if you are using a
Next – a question When you log on, are you doing so when you reply or post, or are you logging on at the top of the screen located at this link? (right click this and open in a new window)
