  1. Can no longer access files on Google Drive from AOL.

    Recently, I am no longer able to access google drive from the AOL browser. I get a message from Google telling me to update my browser.

    Accessing Google Drive seems like a pretty important internet function. A lot web sites use it to access information.

  2. search history

    Suppose you had one or more window tabs open on the aol desktop. It used to be that when you would click the "welcome" tab, the space in which to type a new URL was blank. This is no longer the case. The AOL software would only try to "guess" previously used URLs when I started typing in the URL space. It would really be nice to have the software work this way again, because the software currently automatically puts an already used URL in the URL space, which can be very distracting. If you give me your direct Phone…

  6. Multiple browser Tabs not being highlighted

    While multiple tabs are opened in the browser, only the one that the members are currently on is highlighted, leaving the other tabs that are in the background to be extremely difficult to see and read. The only option to know what is already opened is to access it, which is NOT user friendly. It would also help if the contrast was higher and the colour should be changed to something else than blue. PLEASE correct this error for the benefit of all users!!! Thank you for your consideration.

  7. Is aol going to get a faster browser?

    I found that searching for something inside AOL Desktop Gold takes twice as long as searching for something using another browser like Edge. Is AOL going to be upgrading their browsers to go faster?

    The Playtika spinning/flashing icon is intolerably distracting and annoying. There is no way to get rid of it while checking email.

    As I mentioned previously, I believe you are at risk for litigation if someone with epilepsy has a seizure related to this inappropriate ad when trying to view their email. If you don't respond, I will be forced to contact the Federal Communications Commission about this problem.

  17. Make Desktop Gold Sleeker

    Are there plans in the works, or are you working on making AOL Desktop sleeker? It has too big a footprint and is a resource hog; I love using it and how it allows me to organize things, but it slows my laptop (4GB RAM) down appreciably and frustrates, see above. Please advise . . . (please see): https://twitter.com/messages/21103374-87601634

  18. Stop ancillary information

    I clicked to get the information about Angela Lansbury, but instead of getting to her immediately I had to go through a bunch of other people. Well, I didn't bother. I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS BALONEY to the point that I'm ready to get rid of AOL altogether and do without as there isn't anything else on the web as thorough - but I'm sure I'll live.
