  1. something broken between AOL Desktop Gold and Facebook

    In the past few days when I go to Facebook from inside my AOL software, I type in my email and password and the reCAPTCHA comes up and takes me through all kinds of loops before it says "try again". For 17 times!!! When it finally does accept what I'm doing, it takes me right back to the Facebook login screen and when I reinput the info, I'm sent right back to the reCAPTCHA. Is that something broken on the AOL side or the FACEBOOK side? If I come out of AOL and go in straight from Edge, I get…

  3. Stop reformatting my documents!

    Please stop reformatting my documents! I used to be able to copy and paste documents with my own easy to read formatting. AOL has decided to alter every document I attempt to send by changing my spacing, not only between sentences but also between paragraphs. Just stop it!

  4. Why do

    Why do I have to sign in to AOL and sign in again in order to get to the welcome screen ? Is it going to be a extra charge for that to ?

  13. Aol Calendar is not working as before. The new format makes it harder to input the info I want to show on the top line. Also I must change

    AOL calendar's new format is hard to navigate and takes more time. Not user friendly like the old one. If possible please change back! Top line was available for more detail by simply typing. Now I must go through addition steps to complete the task! Please change back if possible

    Thank you for this feedback. We have found the cause of this issue and are working on a fix. The next update should resolve this issue.

  15. AOL HAS HAD SOME AWFUL SERVICE! AS A PAYING MEMBER, AOL SHOULD HAVE BETTER PROGRAMS, EXTRAS LIKE LIFELOCK, MCAFEE, ETC. SELDOM WORK!

    AOL SELDOM WORKS CORRECTLY! AND, AOL OFTEN GETS HACKED! AS A PAYING MEMBER FOR MANY YEARS, THE AOL PROGRAM SERVICE IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. AOL DESKTOP IS AWFUL (STATES IT IS UP TO DATE,THEN DOES NOT FUNCTION), AND AOL IS VERY JUMBLED AND SLOW. AS A PAYING AOL MEMBER, I DID RECEIVE EXTRAS LIKE VPN, COMPUTER REPLACEMENT INSURANCE, MCAFEE, LIFELOCK, AND OTHER. BUT, SOME DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY FOR MANY YEARS! MCAFEE KEPT DISCONNECTING AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME FEES! LIFELOCK WANTS ME TO PAY THROUGH NORTON! I STARTED PAYING FOR AOL SERVICES IN EARY 2000'S. AOL CHARGED ME APPROX $11/MONTH…

  16. What's the deal with this ???

    all i see id aol desktop gold

    Message from Leaf:
    That explains the problem. AOL Desktop Gold is the program you’re using to open Ancestry.com, and it may not complete Ancestry’s browser validation check reliably. Windows 11 can still be compatible; the issue is likely the browser built into AOL Desktop Gold rather than Windows itself.
    You’ll want to install and use the latest version of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox on your Windows 11 computer, then sign in to Ancestry.com there. This should avoid relying on AOL Desktop Gold’s browser for the security check.

  18. Add checkboxes in mailbox

    It would be great if you could add the OPTION to enable checkboxes for messages in the mailbox. This way when enabled we don't need to hold down the control key to select multiple messages
