** AOL USERS ** HAVE YOU HAD PROBLEMS REGISTERING?
« on: Sunday 18 July 04 22:01 BST (UK) »
Hello the new AOL users out there,

In the past we had problems with our set-up which meant that AOL users were blocked from receiving any emails from RootsChat. AOL very kindly helped us resolve the problems, and we are very grateful too them.

As a system admin here on RootsChat, I'm still however seeing that quite a few people who are AOL customers are failing to "activate" their membership once they have registered.

I would be interested to hear of any problems that AOL users have been experiencing.

Regards,
Trystan

I am with AOL and as far as I know have not had problems receiving emails. I did get some weird message just after you revamped the site apologising for deleting my name and that there had been a mix up between my email address and my screename but as I hadn't actually had any problems or been deleted I didn't think anything of it. I also had a notification of almost every message i have responded to sent to me recently. I logged on to find 110 messages overnight.

I am using Aol and have never had a problem.  Aol blocks spam and unless you set your mail box accordingly, it will block out emails from this site.
