Everytime I try to log onto the Netscape home page I keep getting forward to another page. The netscape homepage comes up for a split second then I get forwarded on. How do I stop it from doing that, it just started. And getting my male is impossible.

The same is happening to me. I'm being forwarded to http://digg.com. The only thing that seems to keep me on Netscape's site is if I click "stop" as soon as I enter the URL. The page doesn't load all the way, but long enough for me to click on the Mail link. I have my homepage set as Netscape's welcome page, so nothing has technically changed. Is this happening to everyone?

I'm not sure Digg are the correct people to contact about this. It seems to me like maybe a Digg fanatic hacked into Netscape and made netscape.com forward to digg.com. Anyways, if you want to access your e-mail do like I did and go directly to http://mail.netscape.com

thank you for that help I apprecieate it.

I guess netscape will fix it. I thought it had to do with safari first.

digg has hijacked Netscape.com. digg has a history of doing this--pretty sophomoric. I hope the Netscape people read this forum and clear it up soon, because some people won't be able to work around it and check their mail. Nice going, digg.

AOL is in charge of the web mail, you'll have to ask them. Try posting your issues here:

@poodlebreeze

Don't go around making statements you cannot support. Digg does not have 'a history of doing this'. The only thing sophmoric around here is some people's ignorance.

So some fanatic added a forwarder, it does not mean Digg is responsible. That forwarder could have gone anywhere. On the up side we're lucky it ONLY went to Digg.com as opposed to a phishing site to collect all of our personal information. I for one probably wouldn't have noticed.

"And getting my male is impossible."

If getting "male" is so urgent, go to CraigsList. They have a nive lil' Casual Encounters section there I heard if helpful for people like you. *grins*

Uh, hi, I'm Aria, and I'm new to the interweb. Please tell me how you somehow know that DIGG is responsible for this. I heard something about these people called "hackers" who I though did stuff like this. But maybe they just hack up furballs, like my cat. So please, teach me. Tell me how you know Digg did this. I like to learn stuff.
