   I don't have a suggestion, but the problem might be because   
   they use something called a browser sniffer.  That means   
   they sniff out what browser you use and configure their site   
   for that browser.  Net 7.2 is old and not being used much,   
   so they don't support that browser.  The suggestion I have   
   is to use a program called SeaMonkey.  SM is the future of   
   Net 7.2.  SM contains everything that Net has except for the   
   Netscape/AOL stuff.  Basically, since they're just about the   
   same program, you won't notice much of a difference.   
   Furthermore, it will pick up all your settings, mail,   
   bookmarks, etc, so you won't notice much of a change there   
   either.  SM contains for bug and security fixes and might   
   fix the problem you're experiencing:
