Can I base a Display Rule on an email...

I have a client who wants to display a message to aol users. I could just display it for everyone, but I would rather limit it to people who actually have aol accounts. The operators are limited to "is" and "is not." Any suggestions on editing this: ( [email1] is "@aol.com" )

The easiest way would be to ask if the user is an AOL user with a checkbox then display the message if so.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Eric is right if that is all you want then two radio boxes is all you need. I do not know how many levels of logic that can be applied.
I believe "and is" or "and is not" can be added giving more choices. Fantastic for a form builder to have that logic built in. I will have to check that out to see how far it can go.

Yes but can those "and is" and "is not" be used by the values they enter in the boxes? I'm not sure as I've never tried that, but I don't think you can use the user's input as a variable can you? Someone else was trying to do that with ages in a different thread and it didn't work for them. If you can though, that would be quite cool indeed!

A script can grab the refer to set the variable but knowing whether a user has AOL mail can only be determined by user input and if they tell the truth.

Ok, but the program can't decipher an inputted variable for using with the program's internal setups right? In other words, you can't use anything that someone fills in as part of the conditionals. Can you for expressions? Haven't looked much into that part of the program yet.

I'm sure you could with a little JQuery hack because after all that's what the conditionals are anyways.
What's wrong with just asking nicely.

I'm just saying ask the user on your form if their with aol and use conditionals to show the info, but ask nicely.

I am suggesting a straight question, "Do you use AOL" Yes or No. Surely the one filling the form knows. If they answer yes they do get the message. However if someone did lie then they would get the message also. The alternative gets complicated.
I agree with Eric
It is possible but with a different form to ping the address to see if it is AOL but out of WFB's scope.
