I recently installed AOL 4.0 on my PowerMac and found the same situation: I couldn't access the forum.

I decided to make AOL work for their money and called a tech rep on their 800 number. I followed his instructions as I merrily clicked my way through all the windows and dialog boxes, and LABH (Lo, and behold), JAVA was NOT enabled. Clicking it "on" was all it took.
