In Response to Re: Problems continue with Games: I have a relatively new iMac with the lastest OS, the most recent adobe flash player and JAVA. For a week now, the games will not replay. This has NEVER been a ploblem before, I could sit and play games for hours. I contacted AARP by e-mail and got a long, but standard response of things to try, but I feel that the problem is with their games site, not my computer as I can play games on other sites with no problems. From the little I have read here, it seems as though the AARP IT staff is unable to fix the problems with the games. Anyone else with a Mac having this problem? Posted by bekoz336 You may want to join the Apple Group and ask your question there. Maybe someone can help you or tell you if they have the same problem. Trigger or activate this link label Apple Group. |

Look at some of the other posts in the community and you'll see lots of problems especially with Mac users with a Safari browser. Try using Firefox to play the games. I have had no problem using Firefox except that it is way slower than safari.

Posted by bekoz336 Thank Heaven someone else with and iMac is having the same problems I am. Does AARP not give a rip that an awful lot of their members have enjoyed the on games on their web site; that is until this ridiculus problem has developed. If they don't get it fixed very soon, I'm going to look elsewhere for games to play. Wake up AARP before you lose members.

Dell PC running XPPro with Firefox 14.01 and no games. Just a blank rectangle like the background on this page. Shockwave works fine. I thought I'd found an alternative or supplement. Clearly I was wrong! |

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ERROR WITH CONNECTING TO THE SERVER. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ERROR CONNECTING WITH THE SERVER. It isn't bad enough that this substandard game site has problems with Apple/Safari users but now on Firefox, I am getting this message. DOES ANYONE WITH AARP READ THESE MESSAGES??????? |

What's up with the 70,000+ points for Klondike solitaire?!?!? All of a sudden, there are at least 10 players with that kind of score. KS should be under 900 points! My highest is 816 and it's kind of depressing when you play and know there's no way those score are legit or that you'll never get that high. |

I, too, use Firefox and I, too, have popup blocker fully engaged and I, too, constantly get popups on AARP games. MAKE IT STOP!!!! Is there someplace ELSE I need to complain???? In Response to Re: Problems continue with Games: I have switched to using Firefox, blocked pop-ups. but it seems the one thing AARP's IT staff has learned to do is get pop-ups to "pop-up" even if you have blocked them. Every day, I also get "Foresee" asking me to do a survey about AARP. You'd think that they would get tired of receiving all "1's" (i.e. poor) every time. Posted by nctarheel |

In Response to Re: Problems continue with Games: The system is rife with errors. Backgammon does not play correctly according to backgammon rules, that is. The Blackjack game mis-calculates the cards (an ace, an ace, and a nine comes to 21 in Vegas or anywhere else, except on this web site where it is 11 only). Several games lock up mid-game. Now, all of a sudden, I am starting to get pop-ups, even though my settings deny pop-ups. All the games section of AARP's web site cares about is advertising. Posted by nctarheel I use Firefox and I have popups blocked. When I play games on AARP I get NUMEROUS popups. HOW can I make them stop??????? |
