Is anyone else having problems accessing there PWS through CC to update their website?
 
Do you have AOL? Mine always says "your session has timed out" when I am updating my PWS, even if I just logged in. Tech support said it was because I was using a version of AOL that needed to be updated. I updated and it still happens, so now I just use Explorer when I need to access my PWS.

Me too - I love my AOL but when it comes to my personal website - it drives me crazy!! So when adding a show or anything - I just go thru Internet Explorer - never a problem!!
 
When they first came out, HO announced that PWS were only supported by Internet Explorer. They're better now, but there are still some things that are quirky in other browsers (I use Firefox, and the pic for the page 1 feature NEVER shows up). IMO, that's unacceptable, as web standards indicate that sites work with all standards-compliant browsers. And there hasn't been a new version of IE for Mac in several years.
