  1. Microsoft popup on welcome screen

    There has been a popup on the welcome screen reminding me that Microsoft is no longer supporting Windows 7 & 8 since January.

    I got the message - please discontinue the reminder.

  2. Go back to what you have been running in the past

    The new opening format sucks. Where you were able to stop the rotation of featured articles know that can not be obtained. In general a third rate change.

  3. what's new option

    Every day, when signing onto aol desktop gold, I click on the what's new icon to see if there is anything new that I should know about. I always like new things, but I would like to know when the next build of aol will be available and what will be included.
    At this moment in time, I have no way of knowing when the new build will be available.

    Let us know when the next build will be available and what will be included. An email would be nice.

  4. Improve aol desktop gold performance

    I found a way to improve aol desktop gold performance if you have a mechical hard drive, like I do and are running windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, or 11.
    Turn off superfetch. I could be wrong, but it seems like superfetch might be inferring with aol desktop gold although the software still writes to a database file and still has issues.

  7. Everyday when I log into AOL, I get to see a video of drag queens, sponsored by Yahoo. I'm sick of that. Get rid of it.

    Give people a choice if they want to watch gay and transgender stories. It is an abnormal lifestyle and not everyone wants to see it. I pay 25.00 a month for AOL and I'm going to cancel if AOL doesn't stop pushing their gay agenda. You want to F a guy, do it....don't involve me in it.

  9. Please remove the

    Please remove the added information on everyone in my address list. I do not need to see how many emails I have shared with this person and I do not need to see what the subject of our last email was posted. I also do not need to see photos posted in this address list. I find this very intrusive and was done without my approval. Also just because I have the last name of some of my contacts does not mean we are related.
    I dislike this new feature you have forced upon me. There was no way to…

  16. optimize aol database

    Sometimes when signing off of aol desktop gold, a message appears that says
    we are optimizing aol database so that aol runs better

    What does that mean? I'm all for aol running better, but why is this set to auto?
    There should be an option to optimize aol manually. I do remember back in aol 9.8 days, there was a way to clear out artwork by purging the aol artwork database, is this a successor to that?

  18. For all AOL apps. A user defined auto delete for emails with the ability to flag an email that you want NOT to delete automatically.

    A user defined auto delete on email with the ability to flag an email NOT to delete automatically if so desired. If you are concerned then deleted emails can go into a transition deletion bin from which they can be retrieved within X number of days before the trash is taken out.
