  1. Can't print images in email without downloading??

    I'm still paying for a "Gold" subscription, but I'm beginning to wonder why. What happened to hte "KISS" principle that made AOL great? Everything that used to be easy, now requires "workarounds" to accomplish.

  3. not opening scan mail

    When I write an email and attach a scan document into the email I cannot open the scan document to make sure I am sending the right document. I could always open it before, this issue of not being able to open it started about 4 weeks ago. I have talked to two service people, one said she would send it to another department, however, I never heard anything about it. Both time they took AOL of my computer and reloaded it. Both times it did not work. When I try to open the attachment it opens behind AOL. When…

  4. Unable to navigate in Yahoo Finance website.

    I can no longer navigate (go pages into) in Yahoo Finance beyond its main page. I have it in my favorites and even tried search but website Yahoo Finance stuck on main page. This started on 12/4/24. Other websites work just fine. Yahoo Finance works just fine if I go outside of AOL to use google chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers. AOL tech support is useless. They say its not their problem that Yahoo decides AOL not compatible with them. I told tech person that AOL management should contact Yahoo to resolve their differences. He said "sure". I am being…

  5. Address book problems

    I have spent the last hour on the phone with tech support trying to be able to edit and/or delete contacts in my address book. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it. Nothing the agent tried has worked and when I try to edit an address in the address book, no change is made. I also cannot delete any contacts.

  6. AOL adding an unremoveable header/footer to a composed body email during printing!

    How to delete auto-printing of Date, Subject, To and From when printing emails!  I have copied and pasted into a blank composed email for 30 years.  NEVER have these AOL auto headers/footers appeared until last week!  In print preview, I've always turned off headers/footers and I would be able to print just the body of the email I composed.  I  still turn those printers options off but now AOL has attached these titles (Subject, Date, To and From) when I'm simply printing an email that I'm not even sending to anyone!  My AOL address is autoprinting at the top of…

  8. Out going emails

    When building an outgoing email every time I click in a different spot the email jumps, also if I delete one address in the address bar the remainder jumps to the end. WHY? Please find a way to make them remain still until I send!

  10. I am paying $15.00 a month to use AOL, not be a beta tester

    Either I can't get on AOL or my PC freezes after I do. I am paying $15.00 a month to use AOL, not be a beta tester. It is very annoying.

  12. You are showing a fraudulent ad

    In your Hot News you are showing American stamps at a discount. That is NOT by the U.S. Postal Service!! The U.S. Postal service has a special coating on their stamps that shows up with ultra-violet light and these do not. If the USPS tests the letters, they can sue, they can NOT deliver your mail if they choose to. This is like using fake money to buy things. It should not be shown through AOL under Hot News!! If you want our USPS to go under, then use those and find a way to deliver your own mail because…

  14. The constant changes are clearly deleting many good features. If it is already available and it is used, why change it. More options needed

    I want to access all mail like the past, page by page. I need to research previous responses constantly.

  16. ADG problem to finance.yahoo.com

    I can't access my Yahoo Portfolio with ADG, when I tried to access the site the screen just freezes. I used ADG to access it for many years with success but now I can't If I go to finance.yahoo.com with other browsers I can get into my account. I called AOL and the advised me that my ADG is not compatible to Yahoo and it needs an update. Looking forward to an immediate update to resolve this issue.

  18. How can I disable the new auto bulleting feature? Whether I use numbers or dashes, auto indent with bullets pops up. Grrr! Hate it!

    How can I disable your new auto bulleting? I want to organize my emails my way, not how some AOL person thinks is good. Quit messing with stuff.

  20. The rolling news ribbon on the Welcome screen no longer has a pause selection.

    The rolling news stories on the welcome page used to have a pause selection where you could stop the news from advancing to the next topic. Shouldn't be difficult to restore it. Just curious why it was removed.
