AOLTechZJN: The page you are getting is the ASQ page.
AOLTechZJN: That appears to be blank and unable to access your screen names.]
AOLTechZJN: I apologize you are affected with this issue.
AOLTechZJN: It appears to be a system problem on the AOL server due to maintenance. I would like to thank you for bringing up this issue to our attention. Please be assured that there is no problem on your computer or your AOL account. This is being fixed on our end.
AOLTechZJN: However, there is a temporary workaround you can try, that will enable you to access the ASQ area at this time.
AOLTechZJN: You: can access AOL Keyword: NAMES using Internet Explorer.
AOLTechZJN: You'll need to minimize AOL to double-click the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop. This will start Internet Explorer, which will automatically attempt to display the default home page. When it opens, maximize AOL and let me know.
