AOL and Netscape Users!

Incase you are unaware, AOL has ended support for it's Netscape browser. That means no more content or security updates. The developers of AOL/Netscape have suggested using Flock which is based on the FireFox browser. If you use Netscape or AOL, you should have an update that allows you to upgrade directly to Flock. Again - we are no longer supporting either AOL or Netscape on Subeta, or the rewrite. :)

Alright! Thank you so much, Nebet!! ^___^

Ryuuko, you can download another browser if you have AOL dialup. I use AOL for connecting too, but I use Firefox for Subeta. It's pretty fast in my opinion.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow, interesting.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Does anyone know if I can download those if I have dial-up? x___x;;; I have AOL and it's the only thing I can get where I live. I'm using IE right now to be able to use Subeta, and it takes at least 5 minutes for a page to load. (AOL is faster than that for me btw)

Will Flock or FireFox be the same way for me, or will it be faster? And which one should I download if it will work? Sorry for all the questions, I'm stupid when it comes to these thing. xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

lol, thanks Keith! I was confused about that.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I always get Gecko mixed up with Mozilla. Yes, my Netscape 7 says "Gecko" on the "About" tab. But it also says "Mozilla" somewhere else. As you can tell, I am not a techie, lol...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

this is the first time I'v heard of Flock browser
I downloaded it and I love it

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

*thank

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Heh...yes, AOL is still alive...if you use that term loosely. I've been bugging my dad for months to switch. He can't use a computer so he doesn't have to endure this pain!! Sorry...little rant there. Thanks the Gods for Firefox.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

RIP Netscape - You were a good browser in your Day!

Is AOL still alive?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Forgot to say that FF, SeaMonkey, Flock and K-Meleon are all based on the Gecko engine.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I've always used Flock to play here

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Die-hard Netscape user here. At the risk of showing my age, I fondly remember the days that Netscape was King ~ before Bill Gates decided to usurp the Internet with his IE browser.

I guess I'll have to start using my Firefox instead. It's similar enough to Netscape 7, since both are built on the Mozilla engine.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hooray for it not being an IE problem.

I feel like I should start collecting internet browsers.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I know Keith, it is not your fault at all. I am still sad since I really liked Netscape. But I knew this was going to happen eventually. This is why I tried to get use to other browsers, this is also why I have so many of them. But I don't like the others. Guess I'll have to swith to another one eventually

But don't worry, it's not your fault at all.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I still use aol and have been having loads of problems with it lately. They never sent out any messages about it and I had no clue this had happened.
I've been using aol for 8 years now it's quite upsetting to have to switch

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

</3 My poor Netscape...

Alas. It is a sad day for the internet.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Psh, NOW someone suggests Flock. xD -has been using it for a nice few months already-
I like Flock more then firefox, personally.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

There is really nothing I can do to prevent AOL or Netscape from shutting down, sorry

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh my god. I think I just died a little. AOL is ALL my family uses. They won't let me download anything else, which is why I've been stuck without trades or my roleplaying fourm buddies for the past few months. Subeta... I can't imagine life without it... I'd be, like, totally cut off from all my internet friends and unable to chat with my real life friends since some of them don't have email and it's not like I'm going to write paper letters.... 😭

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

theres nothing wrong with aol and connie is wonderful I use firefox for browsing now but with that trouble at weekend been using IE ..long live AOL,

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I use AOL. D= Now I have to use IE. (has something against FF) But who cares, as long as I can still do Subeta.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

looky for mi xx

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I've been using Flock for a long time now.

I love it. <3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ok so firefox is still ok to use ....

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Was that even English?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I remember my old school used it on their Linux PCs (at least until last year since I'm gone there), it was horrible. Nice you're mention it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

wow they fix a problem in the site , let see if they can keep the site up , so that way we can figure out if the problem is the browser or the the site that is always down , or under repair , or back in 5 min ( that can be from 5 to 55 to 65 or 105 min.) LOL

That almost sounds like an offical MySpace browser. XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

People still used Netscape (before now of course)?

How about compiling a list of supported browsers for your help section? That way if people are having trouble they can see what browser they're using or which one they need to play on Subeta.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Flock is Firefox built on social networking, if you aren't a fan of features like that, download Firefox.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am not on AOL though, I only use the Netscape browser because I like it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

uses Safari because Firefox takes too much memory to run

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Huh, good thing I haven't used AOL for anything other than my email for about four years. too lazy to completely switch over to his gmail

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

does anyone use flock? it looks its mainly a chat engine.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Same here.
I had AOL for around 2months a few years back.
It was awful then, and I heard it got worse.

I don't know how anyone would want to use it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Erm, I use AOL to connect to the internet, but I use Firefox for browsing, I should be all set, right, since I don't use the AOL browser?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I didn't know people still used AOL shudders

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am on Netscape and until today I have no trouble login in. I've always been using netscape. I have all of the other browsers but I don't like them much, I prefer Netscape over all of them.

This is sad news for me

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

im glad i dont use my AOL now XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Firefox is love.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

huggles firefox

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The netscape engine is really only used by .8% of internet users, but that's still a fairly large chunk.

And a lot of them have been reporting not being able to login lately, so.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

AOL is still around?! And actually...USED by people?!

I'm shocked.
