Title: Chatroom and AOL
Post by: Fat Cat on January 31, 2005, 11:39:53 AM
I have found out that if you are using AOL as your service provider you can not access the chat room from inside the AOL program. They will not allow it to work. You can access it by minimizing the AOL program and starting any installed stand alone web browser like Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera or Firefox.

Doing some research it appears that AOL created this issue about 2 years ago and the program authors do not know why or how to fix it.

So if you log in though Internet Explorer with the AOL software logged in then you will be able to get into the chat and join us.
