Proper weird is what it is. I'm wondering if any internet security might be to blame here now. Most of those programs have started monitoring browsers other than IE fairly recently and the main rivals to IE that they've added in are Chrome, Firefox and Opera, but I don't think AOL would be included as it's not one of the main four or five popular alternatives. It might be a reason the forum works on that one. I can't be sure, of course, and if you don't use a security program with browser protection it wouldn't be that, but I have started to wonder if it might be something to do with it. Disabling any security you have and trying the forum just very quickly would answer that question very quickly. If you want to try that to see if it might be that just try the forum and nothing else and your computer will be fine. You wouldn't be unprotected very long at all.
