  I think I implemented a fix for the AOL e-mail screw-up that was blocking e-mail from us to AOL users.

  I need at least one AOL user to test it:

  First logout, then from the login page send yourself a password reminder.  If you receive the e-mail, it should be fixed!

  Please let me know if it works... thanks!

  Hi, Todd.  Although I haven't  logged on lately and never noticed what the  AOL email problem was, I just followed your instructions, and had the prompt saying that the email was sent, but I haven't received it.  I have  LP under the "authorized" sites from which I can receive emails.

   Good Luck to All

  Thanks for trying Rose.  If you do happen to get the e-mail in a while, please let me know.  If I get a bounced message, I'll let you know.

  Hello Todd,

  I use aol.com! I went to the registry and tried the...forgotten password e-mail. Everything runs well up to...94% document transfer rate then frame freezes. Tried to "jar it loose" by back arrowing then foreward to the forums column and on to this  discussion topic. Checked my e-mail box and so far nothing.

  I am pretty sure that most people here are more technically oriented than me, but I thought of posting this to help any of the new subscribers who are AOL users and who, like me, are trying to learn every day.

  I know that members of this forum wouldn't intentionally block Lottery Post emails.

  It took me a while to realize what to do to allow certain sites to communicate with me. I believe that unless the sites we want are unblocked, they will be automatically blocked by AOL. The way this is done in AOL:

  - Click on Settings on the icons on the top part of the screen (it is a square with a checkmark on it).

  - Click on Internet (Web) Options

  - Click on Privacy tab

  - Click on Sites

  - Type the name in the space provided, including the http://

                                https://www.lotterypost.com

  - Click on OK

  I  also have Webmaster@LotteryPost.com in my Address List. Who knows, maybe that's all it's needed,  but I want to make sure I'm covered from all sides so as not to miss any important updates.
