  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.

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Don't change the icons in the toolbar.

    Keep the old icons and not erase the ones I have and replace them with hearts. I should be able to use any icon I come up with. I don't like someone sitting at a desk changing my banner without asking just because they think it's a good idea. You're coming close to losing me.

  7. Browser used by AOL?

    Does anyone know what browser AOL uses? I'm having problems opening some emails recently that I had no problems with previously. (Jokes and word play.)

  8. Yellow banner telling us to upgrade windows 7

    We have a yellow banner saying "Microsoft has ended support for this version of Windows." extra extra extra.

    I majored in computer networking so I know that this is just microsoft talking to us, but why do we have to be constantly reminded to upgrade windows 7.

    I have no plans to move to either windows 8, windows 10 or windows 11. I don't like any of them. No offense to anyone that does.

    Before we got a popup telling us the same thing, now it's a yellow banner.

    There should be an option to not display this banner so…

  9. 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.

  13. 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.

  15. 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…

  17. delete filtered mail rathe than move it to spam mail. forces me to look at look at them in spam mail in case something got in accidentally.

    Delete filtered mail. Don't move it to spam mail, as I then have to look at it along with unfiltered mail. I told you to "trash" it. Do it!! Renter, Admin etc are TRASH.
