I have to open a seperate instance of Internet Explorer, whats up with that?

Works OK under AOL until I try to post something then I just get a page that says "Invalid_Session"

AOL's embedded browser uses the MSHTML engine of whatever version
of Internet Explorer you currently have installed, in your case it's IE6.0,
so these forums should display the same way in either AOL or IE . . .

BTW, this particular forum, is for Netscape and Mozilla related questions.
Any IE related queries should be posted in our Microsoft Windows forum.

I have had the same problem, and, I asked the question to the webmaster.
Technically this may be an IE-related question, but it deals with this newsgroup.
Anyway, I did not pursue the matter, but I know that I was able to post. But, I think that I succeeded with AOL7.0 Gecko. What AOL version did you try?
I can see that you are using IE6.0. Could you let me know, because I think that it is tied with AOL8.0.

This is really getting interesting. I cannot even get into the newsgroup from one AOL build, getting "590 unchunk error", but it works from this one. The first one had very stript Popup controls. I will follow up.

I was thinking that it had something to do with popup controls, and it does. I have now Popup controlds on, and I allow this site. I just copied and pasted the forum page, but, it reads to allow Sillydog.org. This works with build 4129.6004, which is derived from the CD version. Very Happy
