Most users that have AOL are not quite as savy as us old folk. ;)

From what i have seen when testing is that it's up to each user to set thier own preferances within the AOL screen. Because this is on a user level there is not much you can do.

However, I would suggest creating a page that explains how to do this and then have a javascript on every page that reads the UA and driectes AOL users to that page.

This has worked for some of my sites. I have a javascript that you can edit. It will send most UA's to a differant section of the site. If you would like it let me know and I'll sticky-mail it to you.

It's something like this Very abscract
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

If UA = "AOL"
Then
get "aol-page.htm"
Else
get "index.htm"
</SCRIPT>
