  1. LET ME USE THE WWW BLA BLA LINE --- NOT WORKING TWO DAYS IN A ROW NOW

    MY IDEA IS FOR YOU TO PUT 9.8 BACK UP WHERE IT ALL WORKED & TELL VERIZON WHO OWNS YOU TO KISS OFF.

    ALL MAIL & PHONE CALLS SHOULD GO TO VERIZON WHERE THE BIG WIGS ARE GETTING THE 5 $ IN THEIR PAY CHECK FOR SCREWING YOU UP & ******* OFF THE GENERAL PUBLIC

    The new AOL Gold is Honorable.

    First, All the pages are to big. It takes up the whole screen and you can't read it.

    It needs to be much smaller.

    Second, The "Mail Setting" doesn't allow you to set the mail for the "List New mail at the Bottom of the list.

    Third, Unable to move folders in Favorite Places.

    Please fix the problem.

    Thank you
    Paid customer.

  4. Rotten Drop Down list

    Drop down feature is terrible!! I used to be able to see what pages I had been using during browsing and could return to one if I wanted. NO MORE!! When I try to return to the last page of browsing, it isn’t there. Instead, the name of a category, usually AOL search, is there. I want to find an article that I looked at during my browsing, but if I use the arrow to find the page, I am sent back to "AOL search". The old version of AOL would have shown the page as though I had saved…

  6. Give me a share button so I can share articles like Pet food recalls with friends and family on Facebook!

    AOL Gold needs a SHARE button so I can share information like pet food recalls with friends and family like I used to be able to do until AOL completely fcked up being able to share vital information by eradicating that option with its new unfriendly version. Why are we via my husband Paul Adler's bank account even bothering to remain paying AOL customers with a half ** constructed software service that is too paranoid and selfish to even provide a way to share information with others via our computer?

  8. Get your Judiths straight!

    I am so sick of other Judiths posting! I have been on AOL and posting as Judith for more than 15 (maybe even 20) years. I am @j*1277, live in Des Plaines IL, and work at retired. There is another Judith who is a guest and now there's another one (or maybe it's the same one but was now assigned a number) who is @j*033! I am very angry that AOL has not done anything about this

  10. Fix it, or NUMBER THE FAVORITES.

    If you can not give us the way the FAVORITES used to be, I have an idea, NUMBER THE FAVORITES, so we can find them with their numeration, rather than going up and down every time trying to find our favorite. Give them each one a number so is going to be much faster and easier to find my favorites.

  11. Cannot understand why you change things to make what you THINK is better while taking away things people like. When I click on Window > tile

    Cannot understand why you change things to make what you THINK is better while taking away things people like. When I click on Window > tile it stacks the windows ( not cascade , but tile ) it doesn't put them side by side anymore it stacks and overlaps. Not good.

  12. Senior Citizen Chat

    Please, please, PLEASE put the Senior Citizen Chat room back under the Friends listing in the People Connection category. It didn't work when I tried to create it under "Created by AOL Members" because it wouldn't stay there. I'd have to re-create it every time I signed on, and people didn't want to look for it there anyway. It was always under the People Connection heading. Please make chat easier for us seniors. Thank you so much! :-)

  14. Amateur Software

    I'm trying to get to "Manage My Account" and your crumby software is running me around in circles. I can only get to a blank "Username Services" page.

    Forget about the fact that I've had to enter all of my e-mail signatures twice now ... and that all of the other complaints about the software posted here seem accurate.

  15. Make "Window" drop down menu show the open AOL screens.

    In AOL 9.8 the "Window" drop down menu listed each screen that was open so you could switch to a screen that might be behind other screens. The Tile or Cascade selections are a hindrance since they resize all the screens, and then you have to manually change the size back to what you want. Please make "Gold" work like the old 9.8 to list the screens in the Window drop down menu. This would keep the screen size and position where you wanted it.

  16. Before, I could click on search bar and it would turn blue

    and I could press delete and put in my new search item. NOW, with GOLD, this no longer happens, forcing me to delete the contents of the search line. More inefficiency, more steps. This goes on and on if you read the feedback on here. Why?If I click on it now, if SOMETIMES turns blue and then it disappears. Useless.

  17. clearing history wont work

    the tab in EDIT-SELECT FOOTPRINTS TO CLEAR-DOWNLOAD HISTORY-- does not highlight so now i cant clear the sites i have visited.
    Example: craigslist cities highlight each time i go to one, that's how i know what one i was in, and the same for each topic, antiques, collectibles etc and then each item i view,,
    now i cant clear the highlighted name as i could in 9.8.. so keeping track of all the places is impossable,,, i have to go to internet explorer to do it each time,,
    Bring back this feature, in the edit, button.
    Why do you change…
