If this isn't sarcastic I don't understand sarcasm. Regarding the second request of mine for advice I should have made it clear that AOL is not my ISP,just the route I use to access the internet, send emails and log on to the forum etc. I did not know if the problem I had with the latter was a forum related issue or my problem. I wouldn't dream of asking you to help me fix my computer. A simple response that it wasn't a forum issue would have sufficed. I hope this will clarify what I meant to say and your bum gets better.
