  1. too much resources

    Desktop Gold has been updated several times over the past weeks but it is a resource hog and once started, causes my Disk to run at maximum. This has been a continuing issue w/the program. I love using it, the way I'm able to organize my web browsing, etc., but it NEEDS TO BE trimmed down in the amount of resources it requires.

  2. Need proofreaders who know what they're doing.

    Tom Selleck "throne" should be THROWN. A throne is a chair used by a king, thrown means put off balance, surprised.

  5. Issues in aol desktop gold

    There are still issues with aol desktop gold. I have complained about some of these in the past.

    1) Optimize aol in covid related times. I have noticed that the software still isn't right when either reading email or reading aol news articles. The software can freeze up or be very slow to respond. I thought that these issues might be due to a bug in the software, but it may also be due to covid related times.

    Since a lot of us work from home, the aol software might not be optimized to handle all the traffic from it's…

  6. Please bring back AOL Desktop on macOS

    While I enjoy AOL Desktop on Windows, and also use the mobile app, it would be fantastic if AOL were to bring back the Desktop application on macOS. For decades, AOL provided premium services for Mac users and that seems to have gone away. Now, with the internal rendering engine of ADG being based on Chromium, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to backport ADG to a macOS application. I would literally buy cake, coffee, etc to say thank you to the AOL dev teams if you could make this happen :)

  8. Scroll bars in latest build of aol desktop gold

    The latest build of aol desktop gold has scroll bars when reading new email because there is a new star option present.

    According to the what's new section, the star option is to rate email if you're using another email program. While I'm sure that the option would help some of us, that option is useless to me.

    You can't resize the email window so the scroll bars appear because the email window is bigger then the size of the screen.

    Either let us resize the email window or give us the option to add or remove or hide the…

  10. aol desktop gold bug report

    When submitting an aol desktop gold bug report, the user should get a message saying that the bug report has been sent because I have found out that when I submit a bug report, my sent email has a record.

    So if anyone has sent a bug report, there will be an email saying so under sent email. I never knew about this.

  13. Can't get back to the site.

    I find it very frustrating that on the Trivia game I can't get back to the original screen after answering one question because that screen also showed other options that I would have liked to click on.

  14. submit a photo

    When submitting a bug check in aol desktop gold, there should be an option to submit a photo or two. Having a photo with a description would be better for the aol desktop gold engineering team rather then just a discription.

  16. what's new section

    In the what's new section of aol desktop gold, the newest build isn't listed. Why is this?
    It seems that the newest build causes the aol desktop gold software running on amd hardware to take 2 to 3 gigs of ram and then crash and just close by itself.
    On the bright side, the email is now properly synced up with the server.
    Running on intel hardware isn't a problem though.

  17. AOL desktop gold software on AMD cpu

    I have noticed that for some strange reason, the aol desktop gold software runs poorly on my desktop computer that has an AMD cpu.

    Upon starting the software for the first time in the day, if any link is clinked, the software appears to freeze for a good 5 minutes before unfreezing itself.

    Since this issue is only present on a computer running on an AMD cpu, a hotfix should be applied. My laptop has an intel cpu and the issue isn't present with intel.

    Sent to "Help" report a bug @ AOL;

    I see that AOL Desktop Gold has still not fixed the problem of reported SPAM addresses added to the "Blocked" list that keep getting deleted so entire process must be repeated. from 190+ last night to 17 this evening, and the computer was not shut down during this period, just was "logged" out. 1st few times I reported this, someone in "Tech" wrote back that they were trying to figure out what was going on. Now, no replies even tho problem is ongoing. Does "Desktop" even care???
