Sorry but I could not find this in a faq. I have recently found out that people who use AOL for their internet provider could not view my website. I would like to know if there is a way to fix it or if it is something I have done myself without knowing. Thank you for any input that could help.

What happens when they point their browser to your site? An error message? A blank screen? I'm not aware of AOL doing any sort of filtering, so it's hard to imagine what the problem could be.

Most likely it's the way you embedded flash on your site. I ran into a few errors myself.

First thing I would do is set up a plain html file without flash and see if AOL doesn't like it. If it passes then I'd concentrate on getting proper markup so browsers beyond AOL doesn't freak out on it.

Thanks for the input. It probably is flash but since my whole site is made from flash there isn't much I can do about it. I was never good at html.
