AOL Users & phpBB - Local Hero - 10-03-2004

Since a few of our users have AOL as their internet service provider I thought it would be prudent to mention an known issue between the AOL Internet Client and phpBB (the engine behind the forums). Due to the way the AOL client handles 'session information' it often passes inconsistent data to the phpBB code, meaning logging in and/or posting can be a bit of a hit or miss affair.

The best way to alleviate this problem is to use an alternative browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. The site has been tested extensively on both browsers.

I hope this helps anyone out there who was experiencing this little 'bug'
