No problem,
I've been getting some reports from other users who use AOL that they have experienced similar issues with posting. It doesn't seem to be all of them, but there have been a few. I'll wager that AOL has managed to sneak a new 'impovement' into one of it's sneaky auto-updates that plays with cookies somehow. Your solution, to open up a non-AOL browser, and shell out of the service is the exact correct one.
