I can't sign into Xanga using AOL 9.0?!


In order to successfully sign into your site, AOL 9.0 users usually need to manually set something called a "Cookie". Otherwise even if you have the right password, the signin page just refreshes and won't let you in!

To turn your cookies on, follow these instructions:

  1. Click on the AOL "Settings" icon near the top of your AOL window.
  2. In the "Essentials" section, click on "Internet [Web] Options"
  3. Click on the "Privacy" tab.
  4. Click on the "Advanced" button
  5. Ensure that "Override automatic cookie handling" is checked.
  6. First and Third party cookies should be set to "Accept"
  7. Check "Always allow session cookies"
  8. Click on "OK"
  9. Click "Apply" and then "OK"
  10. Exit AOL and restart your computer (This step is important. Do not skip.)

Once you've restarted, click here to signin:

That should do the trick!
