  1. ROBOFORM extensions

    I have been with AOL since the early 90s, at that time I was able to use ROBOFORM. With AOL GOLD and AOL9.8 this stopped. The changes made are not user friendly as before.Take care of the people that are paying for this service. AOL GOLD needs to be revamped to the users not Corprate.

  3. AOL owned by Verizon forces me to stop using AOL, a member since the 80's. I used AOL to provide safe browsing, now everything I write, incl

    Go back to providing a safe browser that does not intrude upon my privacy. Verizon now wants me to pay for a service that looks at everything, including my emails, all to sell info to others. I don't want a Big Brother, I don't want everything looked at, and I sure won't pay extra for it. And the final insult? Making it impossible to quit AOL. Luckily, an easy fix, had my bank stop authorization. Try it, you will prefer it to having some AOL person demanding to know why you want to quit, then refusing to drop my account.…

  9. Over charging for programs

    Your programs you are charging $3.99 a month for are a very bad deal for subscribers and not a benefit. You are way over charging. I can go to the companies web site and get it for a fixed price for $25 to $30 and not make continuous payments. Your techs are instructed to sell it and I tell them what I stated here and that it is not their fault, One program, Super Anti Spyware is not so super and is rated very low. I tried a trial version and did not buy it and they came back with…

  10. I have real concerns re: instability of aol gold

    I've been with AOL for over 20 years, but I'm very concerned about the lack of stability with aol gold. The last week of aol activity has been very frustrating. Here's what I'm seeing: 1) I sent an email to a friend,
    a copy to myself, and he called me a minute or two later. I told him about the email and he said 'Yep, I got it!' This is great! My email disappeared when I clicked 'send,' BUT I have yet to receive MY copy and there is no entry of the email in my 'send' part of the…

  13. Eliminate chatroom bosses

    I believe that Aol should eliminate chatroom moderators / bosses . Strangers should not be allowed to block paying Aol customers posts . Aol should have the final say as related to blocking posts in a chatroom .... Aol should eliminate chatroom moderators because human beings that are given that kind of power will cheat . Chatroom bosses are cheating your Aol customers everyday if they disagree with your customer politically , they will block your aol paying customers posts

  14. Proof reading for correct grammar

    I understand that ending the sentence with a preposition is not correct.
    The sentence should read:
    ........, you can choose with whom to connect.

    Once you've imported your contacts, you can choose whom to connect to.
    Learn more about managing imported contacts.

  16. I see some pay 3.99 mo, 4.99 mo. 25.00 mo. Your prices are all over the map. AOL Oath is a swindle. Can't wait for the class action.

    My attorney sent you a letter three weeks ago. No response. You are about to see a class action suit.

  17. Let us know what is going on!!

    As subscribers and paying for GOLD, I believe we should be notified as to what is being done on your end to correct these problems, inform us of a time line, and keeping us in the loop. There doesn't seem to be a notification problem when you want us to buy a new product so it should be just as easy for you to tell us about the product we already are paying for.

  19. Desktop Gold is a joke

    When AOL was free rarely had an issue, then you start charging $5.99 a month and nothing but problems. Usually when you pay for a service it's better, but not in this case, Fix it or make it free again!!!
