AOl and mumsnet no longer get on

For te past few days I've had a hard time using mumsnet on aol

It won't load any threads - or the list of topics. Nor will it let me post, a few carefully crafted comments have just vanished into the ether

I can access mn via internet explorer so it's clearly an aol problem. Tech, if you have any words of wisdowm I'd be very grateful

Sorry to crash but Firefox is far superior to IE (and you can customise it and make it all pretty). I've had no issues with speed and my replies disappearing since converting...

Firefox in place of IE Webdude?

WebDude · 16/04/2010 19:37

Might be worth trying Firefox instead - see www.getfirefox.com

I have 9.5 and have had it for months, now today i can't post via AOL, the problem is that running both AOL & IE for MN is upping my core temps

Epson, yes I think I did the same. IE is so sloooooowwwwww. I've almost posted twice a couple of times.

EpsonPrinter · 16/04/2010 17:28

same here. My issues started when i downloaded aol 9.1 - is this when yours started? I could not log in. and now i cannot post although i can log in.

so am accessing it via Internet explorer at the moment. but this is beginning to be a real pain.

i have AOL on my laptop and update/reload it when it misbehaves.

Linnet · 14/04/2010 15:39

I was about to post that I've never had any problems posting with AOL then realised that I don't actually use AOL software since for some inexplicable reason I can't download it onto my laptop, I'm the only person in the entire world it appears who has this problem according to AOL and my own research,but I digress I access everything through Internet explorer.

MoneyNoPockets · 14/04/2010 15:23

Still won't let me post via AOL.

IE 'slow'

GypsyMoth · 14/04/2010 14:39

TheArsenicCupCake · 14/04/2010 14:38

I too 'lost'the ability to post or log in to MN on AOL.

I could read threads tho and now am accessing via IE and am now showing as 'logged in' but still can't post when on AOL.

Geraldine told me tech is working on it RW&B.
