  2. When I click on an article that says something like "state that uses the most candy" I want to immediately know what state that is!

    When I click on an article that says something like "state that uses the most candy" I want to immediately know what state that is without having to click through a bunch of other states before I get to it. It's very annoying and really pi**es me off to the point where I'm ready to just get rid of AOL altogether.

  6. Desktop shortcuts

    GEEZ LOUISE! Yet ANOTHER unrequested, unwanted, shortcut placed on my desktop today. If I left all of the shortcuts your worse-than-garbage program put on my computer, I wouldn't have room for the shortcuts I WANT on my desktop. One link to your garbage program on my desktop is enough.

    Your GOLD program is SO VERY INFERIOR to the previous version, that I have given up and my 25 year membership with AOL ends this week.

    So long, ****.

  9. OUTLOOK and AOL

    AOL is behind the times with the calendar not being compatible with OUTLOOK. It is becoming more and more difficult to continue to use AOL because of this. PLEASE allow your loyal users to continue and not go to Gmail like the rest of the world! I want to stay with AOL. Make AOL calendar compatible with outlook so meeting and calendar invites will go to the outlook calendar automatically. THanks

  11. AOL GROSSLY UNRESPONSIVE TO PAYING CUSTOMERS

    AOL needs to listen to its customer base and at least provide as much as we had before the OATH takeover. I mean, how can they get away with that? AOL GOLD is becoming colossally embarrassing, sort of like Trump.

  12. viantis

    viantis advertiser had a $5 trial on aol. Tried it didnt work called to cancel the viantis after recieving $89 bill for the free trial bottle. Was told no refund then was given 30% and then after threats of a lawsuit was given %50 back. they should not be on your AOL advertisers. This is a crooked business practice and needs to be corrected.

    It would be wonderful if all articles had a comments section where I could express my thoughts - within the parameters of AOL rules and regs, of course.

  19. Desktop Gold, for me, is a disaster.

    I today spent a lengthy time on the phone and interactively (Case # 07716500) with a phone rep in the Philippines who insisted the only way to solve horrific problems I was having sending mail with AOL Desktop on a PC (but not with with AOL on my iPad) was to reinstall Gold. First, she claimed that there were limits to the megs in any e-mail I replied to. When I proved to her through the AOL on the iPad that this was not true, she tried to get me to reinstall Gold. I simply flat out refused to take…

  20. SPAM "stuck" in my mailbox

    Today marks the 3rd time that some SPAM is stuck in my spam folder. The message shows up in the count of spam messages but the message doesn't show up in the folder so I can delete it. From the first time when Tech Support called me and couldn't delete it, I know that I have to sign on to AOL web mail on the Internet and then can delete it. But this has started to be the rule rather than the exception because it has happened 2 times in the past 3 days. I'm at the point where I…
