daibhidcWell, we got a new computer. And we've finally set it up. And I've run into a problem almost immediately.
The computer runs Windows 10 and Firefox 43.0.4. And, as I've been doing for three computers now, I set the Homepage to AOL Mail, so Mum and I could check our emails first thing.
Except, when I try to sign in to AOL Mail, it tells me "The service you are trying to reach is temporarily unavailable - please try your request again". And it does that every time, which to my mind is stretching the definiton of "temporarily".
The same thing happens with Microsoft Edge - although oddly it only did so once I got my password right, I can sign into AOL fine with the laptop ... which is also running WIndows 10 and Firefox 43.0.4. I assume there's something different in the settings somewhere, but I have no idea what.
Any ideas?
ETA: Never mind, clearing all cookies did the trick. Of course, by that point I was so far from thinking straight that I was immediately baffled as to why I wasn't still logged into LJ to add this...
ETA: Apparently this has made it into the LJ top 25 posts. I should give up on this fanfic and review lark, and just post technical problems that I then resolve before anyone has time to suggest anything.,..
