If you are an AOL user, you may have problems using this website if you enable the proxy settings for your browser.
The reason is, AOL uses multiple proxy servers and your requests to this website may come from many different IP addresses. Our security setup checks requesting IP address against your login information, and if the IP's do not match then you basically are not logged into this website.
Consult your documentation to disable the proxy settings of your browser...If you can't, I'd suggest you drop AOL or write a nasty email to them, because we won't be retarding our security system.

This also applies to some other Internet Service Providers. If you have trouble posting in the Forums while you are using GCQL then it's most likely this issue.
It would be useful if we could create a list of ISP's which use automatic proxies, as disabling the default proxy servers doesn't always work.
Currently known UK ISP's which have this issue are:
AOL
Freeserve
