  1. AOL Gold is a disaster! Oath and Verizon may be sued out of business.

    Why sued out of business? Because they, AOL, continues to charge for a knowingly defective product with the AOL Gold program. Easy case to win in court. Happens all the time.

    To wit: I have the AOL Gold program loaded on a brand new, $2000, solid state hard drive (fast), HP laptop with a 46 mbps DOWN and 37 mbps UP connection and AOL Gold is still dangerously Dog slow, locks up, freezes up and sometimes outright crashes the program, which has been symptomatic of the ongoing problems experienced by legions of AOL Gold users for many months now, going…

  4. Tenants of Biden's campaign

    Who is writing these things? The article today (8/17) about Biden states "tenants" of Biden's campaign! It should be "tenets." A tenant is a person who rents a living space from another person. Apparently proofreading is a lost art on AOL and, in fact, just about on any publication. Talk about the dumbing down of America!

  5. No "Paste" in Context Menu

    Windows 10 computer. Ver 2004. Copy and paste issue. You can copy from outside AOL. However there is NO "paste" word in the context menu when you try to paste into 'what is on your mind' in a Facebook post. Ctrl V works. But, no...'paste' word!! Let me know. Thanks.

  7. How is the following not in-line with AOL's standards? Why?

    The very definition of lunacy is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
    The Mayor could only denounce guns.

  9. I'm appalled at the graphical user interface of this client. The old school clients are bettter. The GUI looks like a 3rd grade VB3 project

    Redesign the GUI. It's terrible. The old AOL clients were much better. This looks like a 3rd grade Visual Basic 3 project. I'm a programmer and I could design and code this in a couple hours. Terrible. But I'll continue to pay for this POS and hopefully you get a better progammer to design the GUI. Also, have the chat worked on and make it better. This is what the old AOL client lived on. Remove some restrictions in the chat you've already coded. This isn't 1943 and Hitler isn't invading us, Get real. Make this a client more similar…

  10. AOL Tech Fortress

    I down loaded AOL Tech Fortress to protect my Windows 7 desktop. It stopped "Windows Explorer" from oprating and sumarily cost me $300.00 to get it fixed. You had better take this program off the market before it does more damage. I called support and they could not help me so I went to a local professional.

  13. It would be great if we could submit comments on Daily Stuff, like the recent one about what baby-boomer foods millennials will not eat.

    Allow us to reply and comment on articles in Daily Stuff. I would have loved to make a comment on the one about creamed corn. The article said it's corn with cream but there is absolutely no cream or any dairy product in a can of creamed corn. It's called "creamed" because it looks like there's cream in it but it's just a can of corn in which much of the corn is overcooked and mashed so that it looks a bit ******.

  14. WOW! What an internet service!!!

    There has literally not been one site I have been able to get into. Super long delays then crashes, mail bounces from one piece to another. We were told with the new owner service would get better and the only thing it's gotten is worse. Please don't tell me to contact another department, it's you who draws a paycheck from AOL, not me. It appears I am not the only one having problem with the talking movie company.Maybe if we contact the FCC, they'll respond. P.S. - AOL will never catch up with the likes of Google or MSN. Plus…

  15. Why when I search a website do I get SOLICITATIONS TO BUY from the place

    I search a website one time and for the next two weeks my main page is filled with ads from the sites visited. Just because I visited a CARMAX website for example, I am inundated with ADS for their used cars. I AM NOT INTERESTED and it seems you probably profit from it. My searches are MY BUSINESS AND NOT YOURS!!!!!!!!!

  17. Too much before I get to where I want to be

    PLEASE change it so that when I read a headline (like the one I read featuring Sam Elliott - where is he now?) I want to get to that article. I had to wade through myriad other celebrities before I got to him and it's not only frustrating but gets me darned angry. Give me what the headline offered, THEN put in the rest of the stuff. I'd be more inclined to click on the rest of the stuff if you don't force me to and give me what I asked for in the first place. Thank you.

  20. Why I don't bother with many articles.

    I don't bother reading many articles because when I click on them the first thing I get is a lot of background baloney instead of getting directly to what the headline was about. It's getting to the point that I'm ready to opt out of AOL and find another browser.
