[Sweetpea]

server? I couldn't access and had to go to my Netscape navigator.

1. AOL sucks.

Welcome to the DU :hi:!!!

[Neecy]

2. looks okay to me

I accessed it through AOL 8.0 on the AOL browser -

3. Couldn't load it on mine either

I got a "Forbidden: You can't access main.htm on this server" or something like that.

Weird...

7. yeah yeah

that's the same crap I just got! i hope this isn't aol being buttsuckers...

16. That's almost certainly a message from the Horse's server, not AOL. (NT)

4. I'm not on AOL

and I was having some problems earlier, but it's ok now for me. So who knows what's up.

5. I;ve been getting a non-access message from "this server"

via Netscape and my local ISP....

Will have to check Internet Explorer...

6. SHIT!

Oh SHIT! I got to it this morning, and I did so via a non-AOL web thingy (Nutscrape). But now it's "FORBIDDEN". GODDAMN AOL! I hate using this bitch even if though it's FREE! PRICKS! Ok, wait, maybe MWO is revamping their site?????

Anyone?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

8. Wonder if AOL is doing payback

Mediawhores still have the 'embarassing' AOL 'welcome' page up on their site...



AOL Welcome screen (7/14), viewed by millions!!

Maybe that is it...

9. NO

At least not for me. I don't use the AOL browser (IE 6.0). It worked fine in IE. The first time I tried it in AOL I got the same error. When I ran it again adding the www. it then came up. Give that a try. I recall reading sometimes that your service provider has to set the permissions to allow you to get into sites without the www. Or, perhaps the site admin tech has to set their permissions... Anyway, somewhere someone made a change.

As evial as AOL is I don't think they blocked it this time. Just wait.

[Sweetpea]

10. I keep getting

You don't have permission to access /main.htm on this server. I can get it on netscape..very strange.

[zekeson]

12. odd

maybe there is a problem in the AOL route for you. Mine, for once, seem to be pretty smooth. And, far be it from me to defend AOL - they suck, uh, well, a lot (I've made a personal vow to clean up my language on DU), but they are the only show in town in this part of the sticks. Stop using the AOL browser would be my reaction - its crap anyway.

14. Sounds more like MWO having a problem...

Its actually quite common for pages to work on Netscape, and not work on IE (and vice-versa), and the reason for it is ALWAYS due to the HTML that the web server is serving up (i.e. MWO in this case). "Permissions" are also very much a part of web server administration "lingo".

Doesn't sound like the problem is AOL to me. If it were, you wouldn't get to the site at all, no matter what browser you are using ...

11. Looks good to me

Lose the AOL and be happy.

[AmericanErrorist]

13. AOL owns Netscape

You should be so lucky.

15. Works fine in Opera 7.0...

...although I had to access DU in Internet Explorer to set my flag...

peace;
