Recently, whenever I try to access the Maplewoodonline home page, I receive the following error message:
Can't Find the Web Site www.maplewoodonline,com
500 Unknown Host
I am then directed to another screen which tells me:
Matching Sites: ... Maplewood Online - Your browser does not support script. ...
http://www.maplewoodonline.com/
I click on this link and then get the MOL home page.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what if anything can be done to correct the problem?
I am running windows 98 on a Presario 5190 using an AOL dial up connection.
Thanks in advance.

It might be worthwhile upgrading your version of Internet Explorer. Do you know how to do that? |

Is that exactly how you entered it, "www.maplewoodonline,com"? If so, the comma is your problem. |

Tom:
IE is current. Problem may be that it is hosted by AOL.

No I entered a ".". "," in my post here is a type-o. |

What version of AOL are you using? |

I don't know specifically that the AOL browser doesn't play nicely with this site, but I know it's been a problem at other sites. If you can use an alternate browser, I'd try that. |

Or it's a zen browser. |

Definely a zen browser.

I'm running AOL 7. Anything higher causes my computer to develop a Kernal 32 error. It's a seven year old machine.
Last night I finally managed to get around the problem by clicking on the matching site link which causes the MOL home page to start loading. About half way through I get a dialog box telling me that there is a script error and asking me if I want to continue loading the page. I click "yes" and the page continues loading with no problem. |

I don't have a fix for this issue. If I had a more specific error on the script message, I may be able to do something - I can't see the error on my end.
I did however help a client fix an annoying error on his 6-7 year old computer - I took him to Best Buy and got a new machine. You can get a really good computer for $600-700 bucks. (He didn't need a monitor, printer and the silly service plan.) |

Thanks, Jamie.
If you like, I will e-mail you the script error details the next time I try accessing the home page. Mostly, I just go directly into the Message Board through a browser history link and thereby avoid the problem. |
