This does not occur for me. 2002031403/WinXP. It looks like your QNX Voyager uses an old build. Try a newer version and let us know the results.

Brandi, I confirmed this by setting my UA to the one listed. It seems that they should be referring to AOL 7 at least and recommending IE is not apropos either. Can you find someone who can look into this? Thanks, bc

Bob-Folks over at aol.com are working on this..
timeless, wanna retest?
I get the low-end browser page when I use timeless's UA string (any build--just use uabar.mozdev.org or equivalent [you can always manually set it in your preferences: general.useragent.override]). With my normal (unaltered) useragent string (from Phoenix, 20021222 build), I get the normal (non-low-end browser page) page for aol.com. I'm channeling timeless (in my own words) as he has no working browser at the moment.
still there.
