  1. Reporting scam

    Reporting scam.
    There is a fraudulent company impersonating AOL. When I tried to download AOL, its web page appeared on my screen, not the real AOL screen. Its phone number is 1-610-410-5081, located in Landsdale PA.
    This company must be investigated and prosecuted if needed.

  2. TOS Violation 20 Minute AOL Rule

    Ref: 08221038 Aol Tech Support. Per Tech Rep, one can now only report a tos violation via "Notify Aol" button once in 20 minutes. This is wrong-prevents reporting more than one tos violation in a 20 minute period and watching a digital clock count down from 20-zero minutes.

  4. 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.…

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  10. Open in new window

    I really HATE that I can't right click on a link and select "OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW" instead of only a new TAB in the current window. GOLD is a gold plated piece of ****. CAN WE PLEASE HAVE 9.2 BACK?

  12. In reviewing your complaints, the problem is obvious. AOL's executive management will not admit it has one.

    While AOL "news" seems only interested in progressive views, and why it purchased the Huffington Post, (not unlike Slate, DailyKOS, MoveOn with objectives not unlike Cloward and Piven), it has not paid attention to its bottom line.

    That is AOL is an ISP. In others words a place where I can immediately get online to the Internet.

    Having been with AOL well over 15 years, its AOL Gold is not Gold but the color of rust. While AOL's CEO has focused on being sure progressive news is spread through out its millions of members, he obviously has not spent the…

  14. Remove Twitter Link from Help Menu

    I noticed that in all current builds of ADG, on the main 'Help' menu, there is a link to AOL Desktop on Twitter. The link leads to a profile that doesn't exist. I would recommend one of the following fixes: Either remove the link from the Help menu -or- Rename the link to reflect Twitter's rebrand as "X" and have the link go to a profile that exists. Dead links look bad, so just wanted to let the team know I found this. Thanks in advance.

  15. Update the System Requirements on the beta page.

    I remember when 11.0 first started, Windows Vista was supported and was there on the System Reqs. Then, it disappeared the moment Vista went out of support in April 2017. Yet, I still see Win 7 and 8.x on there and never saw Win 11. Please update. 7/8.x has been out of support since Jan of last year (2023). :) that’s all.

  16. Why again??

    Why is it that AOL is always changing things on our welcome screen that we don't care about but don't do ANYTHING about the problems we tell them about? It makes no sense.

  17. AOL Desktop Gold

    I appreciate so much Kevin's help tonight. He is the best technician that I have had from AOL in forever!!
    I do not like the added feature of (Views) in the new AOL. It is a real nuisance to me! Please consider deleting it from my account.
