Hi all
Just a quick note to those who use AOL as their ISP, I heard comfirmation today that AOL do indeed block our IP addresses as a result new members may not get their account activation email and also AOL users may or may not get topic replies/PM reminders etc etc. Unfortunately there's no way round this at the moment.
I've posted below a comment from one of the tech boys upstream.
"Unfortunatly there isn't much hope of getting through the AOL, if they have received enough complaints about emails seemingly coming from our server IP they will block the IP which causes the problem you are experiencing.
This is part of the reason we banned AOL email addresses as forwarder addresses, when a user received SPAM that has been forwarded and reports it to AOL they don't examine all the headers they just look at the last set which is our server and not the originating source of the SPAM and block our server."
If you have tried to register on COL and use AOL please email info@cockersonline.co.uk and we will attempt to activate your account manually.

That explains why my membership was manually activated then! AOL are a pain & we intend to go over to Blueyonder when we get broadband but until then we are stuck >:D

I had this same problem when I was with AOL (now with BT) Have you tryed using Firefox just use that like Internet Explorer although unlike IE it has no ad-ware and then AOL for everything else.
