I'm having trouble registering
Most of the time, using another web browser outside of AOL (Firefox, IE, etc.) solves the problem.
Does this mean I can't use AOL to look at RAILROAD.NET?
No. All it means is that once you have connected to the Internet using your AOL account, you have to launch another web browser to use RAILROAD.NET. The AOL web browser is not fully compatible with our site.
We suggest Firefox, an excellent and free browser:
http://getfirefox.com
I just registered, but I haven't received my activation email
I forgot my password
