  2. Issues still present in aol desktop gold

    There are still issues present in aol desktop gold.

    1) Icons are missing from under safety all the way to help. This only affects computers that have an amd processor.
    2) videos still play on auto on the welcome screen.
    3) No manual update for check for updates.
    4) The software causes my hard drive light to stay solid for a good 10 minutes before turning off.

    There may be other issues present still, but these come to mind.

  9. How do I actually contact AOL? This forum is ridiculous and totally worthless. AOL doesn't see these posts.

    How do I reach a human at AOL and get a response? How do I even get the reply to this post if there is one? This entire communication process is flawed and totally and completely worthless.

  14. No Service

    05 JAN 2023 - All day when I try to open an email, or link, I receive the prompt: it can't at this time, try back in 5 minutes. It should say "hours." I pay extra monthly; for what?

  17. A few weeks ago my entire email List somehow was somehow converted into different categories. I didn't choose or set up these categories.

    A few weeks ago my entire email List somehow was converted into different categories. I didn't choose or set up these categories. Some of my contacts were eliminated completely.

    Also when I get an email it starts talking to me.
    How do I get rid of all of this and get my old email setup back?
    Thank you.

  19. Will Aol Desktop Gold be impacted by Census updating some security features on census.gov that are effective 10/11/2022?

    Will my Aol browser continue to work with the security updates to Census.gov going into effect on 10/11/2022?

    "To ensure you will continue to be able to access census.gov, please upgrade your browser to the latest version. 💻 Older browsers may fail to display websites correctly and lack updated security features.

  20. password manager

    The current password manager doesn't offer to save on many websites, and it doesn't allow manual inputs. Users must continue to use paper and pencil to store the majority of their passwords.

    Suggest fixing your password manager or allowing use of other password manager programs.
