Re: AOL'ers having problems?

I have been having that happen to me ever since I reformatted my computer (the part about being swamped with posts that are days old), and I don't use AOL. It never happened before I reformatted.

Yes. The other day, I didn't get any new posts ALL DAY LONG. Not in any of my newsgroups. I turned AOL off and on and rebooted my machine and everything else I could think of, but still didn't receive any new posts for many hours. Then, all of a sudden, my groups were flooded with the delayed posts. I hate it when AOL does that. -- Beckie

Thanks all for the replies. I guess it was an AOL thing, although that doesn't make me happy. I'd rather it be a problem with MY computer and settings rather than it effect us all.
