Has anybody at STAR had any talks with anyone at the club about AOL users being unable to access the ticket site ? It has now been about six weeks since we have been able to use it and every time i contact the club i am told it will be sorted soon !!!!!!!

It's probably your fault for failing to chose an ISP compatible with the Talentless ticketing system!

"We are still waiting for a resolution form AOL, but believe this should be very soon, as soon as we have information we shall release this on our website.

6 weeks is very very poor

This isn't just a Reading FC problem. Think you will find that every club (most of them) using the premiumtv template has this problem with AOL

Why should AOL provide a solution?

The fundamental rule of web application design is to make sure it's compatible with all browsers.

STAR Voice · by **STAR Voice** » 10 Oct 2006 22:26

I don't think it's a problem with web application compatibility - I thought it was where someone has reported premiumtv websites as being "spammers", and so they have been put on a blacklist somewhere in AOL, which means that AOL browsers can't access them.

So it's not the webdesign - it's the extra wrappers that AOL put around their system to protect the poor, naive users from ever coming into contact with the *real* internet.

BTW - that's purely my supposition on this from what I've read - I don't actually know the details of this situation, I just know how AOL operate.

Exactly. Although I believe it is better than it used to be. I have always recommended people against installing AOL as it can be very hard to uninstall and can make a PC unstable. This may not be the case any more but a bad reputation sticks.
