    When I access my Facebook on AOL Gold I get tied up in the captcha loop that will take me back to sign in and then another captcha loop. Somehow AOL Gold lost my sign in info for facebook. It only works it we do it manually.

  3. Stop relocating the AOL icon on my desktop.

    Stop relocating the AOL icon on my desktop. I have placed it just where it is most convenient for me. Please leave it alone. Not a big deal, but it is an irritant.

  5. Need Help Setting The Privacy Option in My AOL Account

    On my Dell EBT 2250 PC using the Windows 11 operating system, I am not able to change the privacy options in my AOL account. Whenever I try to change any one of the options, I always get the error message " Oh No ... we are not able to process this request" I have gone into my AOL account using the myaccount.AOL com numerous times in order to change the privacy settings. I have tried to do this using the FireFox, Edge, and Opera browsers with and without my malware/virus protection programs turned
    on. I have also power cycled…

  6. Slowest software on PC, also SPAM issue.

    Why would I want additional AOL pgm's when it is already the slowest software I have. Also, until about 3+ month ago, very little SPAM was shown in the folder. Now, almost daily, I have 200+ SPAM dumped and some of it is NOT SPAM but long standing sources. Had this same issue a couple of years go and after many complains, SPAM dumps were reduced to very few. More than likely have missed vital email because missed seeing it mixed in the SPAM folder with ****. FIX IT.

  11. Afraid to update and see what's been screwed up that was working fine before the update

    I am leery every time there is a new update anymore. Every time there is one it screws something that worked up. My email has been horrible with lag in opening, send a response, typing sentences since the last 2 updates. I am also so tired of seeing "AOL NOT RESPONDING: as I watch a blue circle spinning, see the "loading" little dots spinning. $17 plus a month for aggravation that is soon going to be cancelled, like you guys really seem to care less about. It's not my internet connect, have no issues with EDGE only AOL. Forget about…

  12. .

    WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU, AOL? My good emails are getting sent to "deleted" and my SPAM box is FILLED with disgusting **** ****! Are you so lacking in skilled staff that they can't weed those out entirely????!!! Additionally, I'm suddenly getting SWAMPED with SPAM every single day. I've been with AOL since the 90s and this is the WORST it has EVER been. Pages take WAY too long to load and the price of what passes for the "Gold" experience keeps going up as the quality of service is TANKING. Maybe hire some qualified staff and actually PAY ATTENTION…

  17. Did AOL change the search engine because AI and other is lacking in the amount of information that was available to be accessed before. .

    Did AOL change the search engine because the current one with AI as the first answer and then the other is sorely lacking in information that was available online before.

  18. fix YGM sound

    Are We ever going to get YGM sound back? Your tech people must not be to smart not to be able to fix 1 simple problem. We are paying for that service and not getting Our monies worth. At least tell AOL members if We are going to get it back or NOT. My next step to to contact AOL HQ's.

  20. Fix authentication issues on multiple websites (Browser Support Issue?)

    Authentication is failing on multiple sites through the built-in browser in AOL Desktop Gold. We confirmed that authentication was working in another web browser (Edge) using the same credentials on the same machine on the same day (ruling out bad credentials, bad machine settings, and possible website outages). It seemed to be somewhat random, in that some sites would authenticate and some wouldn't.

    We tried fully uninstalling and re-installing the app, as well as clearing footprints. Unsure if this is related to your implementation of CefSharp or how it's configured. I really can't provide any more information since the built-in…
