I was trying to e-mail a couple of threads to a friend, but got a message telling that I wasn’t logged on (I was) or I was trying to edit messages (I wasn’t). I WAS able to e-mail then pages using AOL’s “favorite places” heart thingie.

Wot hoppin?

Due to a few people abusing this feature, we had to disable it for all of our posters. When you email a page using AOL’s “heart” feature, it’s a different process. If you want to email a page to someone, copy the URL and email that. It’ll work.
