Good luck! Anyone know of AOL specific problems with this site?[/quote]
Some versions of phpBB have problems with AOL – I had to campaign to get this secirity feature removed for lexx.com as not to lose several members who would not be able to stay logged in to post.
AOL does something that is technically “legal” in TCP/IP networking, but frustrates many means of tracking sessions over HTTP – they assign the proxy at the time of the request, and at every request. This means that a person viewing this page could have a different IP address for every image they get. Most other internet communication happens over a synchronous connection, so the proxy does not change, but HTTP was not designed as such, any semblance of sessions are hacks added on.
