Does the AOL browser break things?

    Yes, in the sense that AOL for Windows uses the Internet Explorer 
rendering engine-- whichever one is installed on the machine.  So AOL 
6.0 could use the IE6 engine, if that's what's installed; conversely, 
AOL8 could be using the IE5.0 engine.  AOL for Mac Classic uses 
IE4.5/Mac, I think, and AOL for OS X uses the Gecko engine that 
drives Mozilla.
    It's difficult to help, though without knowing what "does not 
work" means.  If they mean the page literally can't be used, that may 
well be beyond the list's topic area, since it's probably about 
scripting or proxies or something like that.  If they mean it doesn't 
look nice, then it's probably on-topic but we'd need to know in what 
way it doesn't look as nice before there would be any hope of 
helping.  Screenshots might help.  Knowing in what browsers the looks 
as intended would be really helpful.
