| 534567 | 2007-03-20 11:58:00 | I have an mail account with Netscape (now Aol)when I try to login after giving username and passwordit directs me to another page. But about a half second later it directs me to a second page, then back to the first. then the second. Forever. I am not directed to either of the pages for long enough to establish a connection. Is this an Aol or Firefox problem?. | bugalugs67 (9647) | ||
| 534568 | 2007-03-20 12:02:00 | Hard to tell. Best way to tell is try in IE. | trinsic (6945) | ||
| 534569 | 2007-03-20 12:07:00 | it is probably an IE only site. sometimes sites do things that if rendered correctly would do strange stuff like that, but IE just ignores the instructions | Greven (91) | ||
| 534570 | 2007-03-20 20:47:00 | AOL. Its nasty, its spyware. I've seen it cause all sorts of problems with websites, like you say. Remove all the AOL stuff that has been installed along with Netscape, and also go into Network Connections and take out the AOL reference there too. You'd be better off using Firefox or Mozilla thah Netscape these days. |

| 534571 | 2007-03-20 22:54:00 | So you don't like Netscape that's fine but try to keep your comments factual. Netscape are using the Firefox base for the browser, it’s essentially Firefox with more extensions installed by default. Many people prefer it over Firefox. The advances Netscape 8 offers over FireFox make this a clear choice in many users opinion. |

| 534572 | 2007-03-20 23:02:00 | Have you tried using Internet Explorer (rather than firefox) to log in, and do you still get the error Also the old @netscape.net accounts no longer exist they have been replaced by @aim.com accounts or at least mine was, so to log in you go to the aim.com homepage I should have said i had a netscape account and was able to access it fine from firefox and i can access the new aim account just as easily from firefox, but do try it in IE as that will at least rule out browser issues if it keeps happening |

| 534574 | 2007-03-21 10:50:00 | i agree with pctek, AOL is crap and causes many, many problems:2cents: | motorbyclist (188) | ||
| 534575 | 2007-03-22 01:40:00 | Thanks for your replies. I had thought it was an 'I will only talk to IE' problem but I had been getting through with Firefox up until about 6 weeks ago. Trouble is I've lost IE (great :) ) so will have to reinstall |

It was the browser I used. However: www.pcworld.com |
