AOL Users - Issues with Logging In and Members Section

We've received email from several ISGS members using AOL about not being able to log into the ISGS Website. There is a known issue with the AOL browser: it has a caching scheme that does not allow the login page to submit to itself and hit the member database to check the login credentials.

Our webpage design company, Easy Net Sites, is working on a solution, but the instant solution is to use a web browser that does not feed through AOL’s caching scheme. It is recommended that you close your web browser if you've used AOL, and then open Internet Explorer (or your preferred web browser), access the ISGS Website and try logging in again.
