Note to all AOL users

John Sabato · 02-02-2003, 02:21 AM

I only have two points to make for all the AOL user crowd.

Number ONE. As a Lugerforum Site Administrator, I get more complaints from AOL users than any other group of folks on the forum about forum performance or inability to use forum features. This is due to the LOUSY AOL web browser compatibility with the REAL Internet.

If you must use AOL as your Internet Service Provider (ISP), I recommend that once you make your internet connection, that you MINIMIZE (not close) the AOL window, and then use the Internet Explorer or Netscape to visit the Lugerforum... Your and my lives will be much simpler because everything will work...because everything we create here is designed to work with those two browsers. You can even make the start page for one of the mentioned browsers the Lugerforum homepage.

#2 America OnLine is a known anti-gun organization that hassles members that post things on their personal websites that are pro-gun. <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" /> If you haven't been victim of this policy, then consider yourself lucky... I strongly recommend that you switch ISP's to someone who isn't against your hobby... other ISP's that give good service are available at less money...

Well that is my $2.00 (too much strong content for only $0.02) thanks for listening...

I am here courtesy of AOL. I use my Companions computer and she is an AOL associate. AOL is paying for this. I had to mention this. This Website has been my learning experience. My main tool in learning how communicate with others via the internet.
I would like to thank all of you for your courteous and ... Oh the heck with it!
You guys are great!
Where are the jumping smiley frogs?

Gill, here they are : <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />

So, if you want, you can also always go to "Edit" and add or change anything in your writing. Moderators can to, but we only do it to help out.

There are two ways to reply to a post. The quick reply appears at the bottom of the message thread. It is for a "no-frills" response. If you want to make a full fledged response with all the bells and whistles and jumping smilies, you have to opt for ths by using the "post-reply" button instead of just the reply button.
