  1. AOL Gold is worse than the early versions

    1. AOL freezes up all over the place. You have to shut down the entire program and restart it to get it to function again. I have top of the line virus protection. No viruses found. No other application I access behaves like this so I can say it is AOL. Most likely due to all the spam you allow on your sites.

    2. Members list STILL remains unsorted. Anyone in your IT department know how to insert a simple sort and refresh into the code? They teach this in the 101 level.

    3. Cannot add additional user/screen names? Who made that decision?…

    Now you must Copy Paste into manual Spam Controls the long way around to accomplish this simple task. Why go backwards on this AOL Gold Version and make things harder for the AOL Subscriber?

  4. Two months ago, November, I believe, AOL GOLD customers were promised toolbar icons. I'm 80 years old and waiting.... AOL 9.8.2 was never

    Two months ago, in November, AOL GOLD promised toolbar icons. Where are they, in Russia? I'm 80 years old and counting...
    Bring back 9.8.2. AOL GOLD is worse than AOL 2.5. Yes, I've been a customer 20 years and GOLD is the worst version ever.

  5. AOL Gold email ****!

    Bring back the email settings from version 9. I want to get rid of the maiI headers. I used to be able to hide them.
    I feel like my account has been downgraded. Actually, I'm not happy with any part of the AOL Gold email!

  6. This AOL Desktop Gold "Forum" is as badly organized as AOL Desktop Gold Can not find anything, it is illogical!

    AOL Desktop Gold "Forum" needs to be reorganized. Look at all the topics and subtopics. Put them all on a sheet/a page so that we can scroll over each topic to then see the subtopics and then see each person's idea which we want to agree with or tweak a little, something may have been missed, there could be other options. This FORUM is as badly organized as is the AOL Desktop Gold itself!!!

  9. Just attempted to read the story about the dolphin with the fishing line, and on every page there was one of those damned short video loops.

    Just attempted to read the story about the dolphin with the fishing line, and on every page there was one of those damned short video loops. Is it really necessary to have all those? Very distracting.

  13. Chat rooms: No hyperlinks??

    Chat rooms are no more fun and people in the chatr rooms are complaining about this! Why can we no longer share hyperlinks in chat rooms? AOL Gold has taken the fun out of everything.

  14. Since not everyone with aol was forced to accept aolgold I fully expect aolgold to provide me with all of the features that I have had.

    I want the edit feature, my choice of backgrounds, colors, calendar, etc. I definitely feel discriminated against with this substandard model. I keep getting refused when I try to send emails with pictures in them for some annoying code of numerous numbers.. I want to know why I continue to receive notices that I have not yet terminated my old aol also. It's so helter skelter if whomever is sending them doesn't even have a record that I'm already being punished with aolgold. It's continues to sound like a threat when I'm already suffering with this new zero 'upgrade'. Maybe…

  15. MAIL IS NOW LOADING

    What's with you people. Do you know that a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT is being filed against you. Let your superiors know about this. You can't keep breaking down on a daily basis. Thousands of people have already reported you to the FTC and other Federal agencies.

  17. Need some features from AOL Desktop 9.8 back on here.

    1) - Please bring back the ability to use the Delete key on my keyboard, rather than have to use my mouse to delete a mail. In the new technology today, we are using our mouse less and less, and are able to use our keyboard for shortcuts. Seems like aol gold is going backwards on that.
    2) - If I open a new mail to share graphicsas embedded, and I have added more than one graphic, then I decide I want to remove one of those graphics and add another, AOL gold completely closes down. all I can do…

  19. Make alternate text appear when holding mouse over an image

    Distressing and inefficient. Alternate text describing images or giving other needed information does not appear when you pass mouse over image. It's like AOL is DEAD, I search via AOL by choosing images rather than web results and need to see the alternate text that was assigned to the image. This has also messed up viewing websites.

  20. Attaching Files with aol desktop gold is harder than the old version 9.8.2

    To check your attachment you have to download that over and over again.. tn save then have to find where you saved it....3 more steps. Before, Just had to double click attachment and it would open
