  2. Automatic open

    AOL now automatically opens the next email. This is dangerous, as it could be spam, etc. We need a way to turn this off, or I am off AOL for good.

  5. What Does GMME Stand For?

    If you're a beta tester, then you'll be using beta client software. The opt-out of beta to drop back to a GA release is to enter AOL Keyword "GMME". What I'd like to know is what does GMME stand for?

  6. Opening up news topics

    Why do I have to click on a headline 3-4 times before the headline opens up? I have a new and fast computer. This issue is 100% AOL. Are you updating your old and aged system?

  8. mail updates

    I just talked to tech support to untangle a problem with email i had put on my block list a couple of addresses by mistake and wanted to unblock those addresses tech support walked me though it and had to use another browser to unblock because AOL is in the process of updating their software to make things easier why not update everything all at once? is should be when i need to untangle a mess i could untangle it through AOL and not going the round about way that i didn't know of Norman Kivari member since 1995

  9. It's not the mouse batteries, IT'S YOU.

    Every time I'm to click the mouse button I have to click it several times before it will connect. Sometimes it will just flip to an entirely unrelated page and then it's impossible to find what I was looking at. What are you doing at AOL these days? You have a lot of people working for you. Why can't someone get this web site right?

  11. 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.

  17. AOL and Win 11 issue.

    My AOL email is margetill@aol.com and akknothead@aol.com .
    Desktop Gold is not working in Win 11. I have 2 accounts that i use on 2 different computers. Both Win 11. Both are facing the same issue.
    Whenever, i signin, after entering my ID and password, i get a message, welcome, you got mail, and thats it. everything freezes. AOL desktop gold does not respond. I only see the blue desktop screen with all the options like file, edit =, mail, read, write etc. But can not click on them. I have to end task the AOL in taskmanager.

  18. 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.
