if someone has AOL... they can do offers ONLY if they use IE

my friend has aol... dial up still (yes sad)... but he wants to do freebies... i heard something back about not being able to use aol browsers because of proxies.... is he able to use internet explorer or Firefox and do it from there... or no

I dont know, i dont think that the programs he would use would have anything to do with how much his IP will change. I wouldnt risk it.

danggg... well one this that i found out is... when he tried to use this forum with his aol browser it doesnt work and he constantly has to login after every page loads... and then i told him to use internet explorer to try and post that way.... and it worked... im going to tell him to b safe when it comes to doing offers so he doesnt get put on hold... to use a computer that has cable or the library maybe... just gotta make sure the computer he chooses isnt used by anyone else for offers

If i were you i would tell him to start of small, maybe do one offer on a small network and not cash out from paypal until he passes approval, just to be safe. We dont want any MORE scammers on this site.

lol... wut does him doing that have to do with scammers lol

i mean like going big with sites and then going red and then freaking out and running.

yeh i guesso... hopefully an admin will pass by and lay down the law on using IE and firefox on a dial up connection

i think if he has AOL as his IP then he can't do freebies. its the browser too, but the service as well

aritey thanks... this saved us a whole lotta headache

Using a public place is pretty risky too, if anyone else checks their account from there he could get put on hold.

It depends on the site/network -- some allow AOL, others don't. Check the TOS and/or submit a support ticket to ask.

The browser used has nothing to do with it.

o ok ... will make sure... yea im thinking using a public place would be kinda risky... Damn.... guess he'll have to go somewhere that has cable and dose not do freebies

Exactally - thank you David.

If you use AOL for your ISP it doesn't matter what browser you use, it's still AOL.

My daughter had AOL and the networks we found that were ok with AOL were

Trainn
V-bux
Officially4Free
123StuffForFree

There may be others, but most of them specifically forbid AOL in their TOS.

arite thanks for the info guys... much appreciated to avoid possible bumps in the road

There are many more sites that accept AOL. I have netscape, and that uses AOL portals, and I have had only one site put me on hold for it (That's how I found out about it. (Silly me!) Check the TOS, put in support tickets...It is the only way sometimes, to find out.

which site put u on hold for it?

phones.ZPT put me on hold for it. It said that I was using a duplicate IP as others on the site. When I asked support about it, it told me that my IP was an AOL ip through its portal, and it was from Washington DC. Well, I don't live anywhere near there, so I dug deeper and found Netscape uses AOL portals to get people on the internet.

I looked into ZeroPriceTags and checked all the other ZPT sites, and they all will not allow AOL or AOL portals, because they are, in the strictest sense, proxies. I asked if there was a way to fix it. There is not. so I am on permanent hold there, for no other reason than my ISP uses an AOL portal. Go figure.

arite... good to know thanks... im going to keep an eye out for that... its actually for my friends.. hes starting and is using aol... so i wanna get him off to a good start, mistake free

I don't allow AOL, being a new site, the possible losses from Proxy scammers is too hard to recover from.

Thanks for the info... how many users do you have so far on your site...

Just over a hundred.
