    Hiya Molehill
    Heck with AOL users. :rolleyes:
    I can't access it either. Could be the site is down? Could be the address is wrong?
    Try again in a bit.

    I use I and I get Page Cannot be Displayed.

    :) Guess we can't blame that one on AOL :)

    Well....it would seem that you'd change the address as you have? Because the new address works for me now?

    The two looks exactly the same

    I don't have any idea why one works and the other doesn't.
    Thanks

    If he can get to the site but it looks strange, two options. My preference would be that the user load a real browser and use it after making the connection with the AOL thing.

    Next option - turn off image compression.

    By default the AOL browser is set to display compressed versions of images. This causes artwork to be degraded.

    Just follow these instructions:
    From the top toolbar, go into Members/Preferences/WWW and ensure "Uncompressed Graphics" is selected.

    After turning compression off, clear the cache so that pictures already viewed recently are redisplayed properly.

    In the Advanced settings click on "empty folder" (AOL 3.0) or "purge cache" (earlier versions).


    If the problem is something else, be specific.

    And the second link you posted works fine for me as well.
    First one is busted - but you can go back and edit it so it will work and maybe put in an edit note saying you fixed it.
