Hi all. I am on AOL in the uk. Normally when I start AOL it comes on to the AOL UK home page, but this morning it decided to have the American home page instead. I can change to my UK home page by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking on the "change welcome screen" link. But when I sign out and back in again, it reverst to the US homepage. I've tried changing location and trying to set the UK page as my home page but it still reverts back. I've also tried copying and pasting the aol.co.uk url from the UK home page into my internet default settings, but still no luck. Also did the same in Microsoft edge and set my default home page to AOL UK but still nothing. Would like it a great deal if anyone has any ideas or suggestions.
Ta in advance

Seems that when initially accessing an AOL web page, such as www.aol.com, AOL checks the users network location and automatically sets the home page to match, regardless of any other settings, in this case it changes to www.aol.co.uk

So to circumvent this, if you use the web address of:-

http://www.aol.com/?intl=stay

and set that as your home page within your browser settings it should default to displaying the US hompage of www.aol.com

Give it a try.
