  1. AOL Portfolio Manager Not Working

    Portfolio Manager is not working today. ALL stocks in portfolio show no gains or losses. Portfolio page looks like a very old page. I have checked on two different computers with different IP addresses, so it's not my cookies.

  2. My Portfolio

    My portfolio continuously has pricing problems, etc. It is limited in the securities it supports. Can it be replaced with a more reliable system? What about Yahoo Finance is it better or at least more reliable? Aren't your companies combined? AOL God is better than a year ago, hopefully it will improve to the previous versions that were free.

    Is there any way to stop that idiot box "Did You Know" thing from popping up? I am NOT interested. The stupid thing is annoying.

  5. My portfolio

    As of today, 9-18-18, I am unable to access my stock portfolio on AOL again on my laptop and my iPad. This happened several months ago, and AOL techs fixed it. It’s happening again. I get the page where it states “sign in or sign up” and “view your portfolios,” but when you click on either one of those statements nothing happens. Is anyone else having that problem? I called tech support, and after being on the phone with them for more than 30 minutes, they were unable to fix this proble,.

  12. It should not be necessary to sign on to read mail saved on one's computer.

    The last time I complained about this, Product Support responded "The personal filing cabinet is stored in a local database folder, which can be opened by accessing the path below in the Windows Run box (press the Windows key + R): LOCALAPPDATA\AOLDesktopData\db." That suggestion is male bovine excrement. If you do that, you get a message "Windows cannot find LOCALAPPDATA\AOLDesktopData\db. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." And why SHOULD Windows be able to open an AOL file? As with all your suggestions, your "fix" is laughable. Equally laughable are your repeated troubleshooting solutions for slowness…

  15. Redesign AOL Desktop Gold so that when there is a breakdown like today, we can at least access email save on our computers, like the old AOL

    Redesign AOL Desktop Gold so that when there is a breakdown like today, we can at least access email save on our computers, like the old AOL DT. It's really ridiculous that DT Gold claims that we can save email to our computers, but in reality we can't see it unless we go online and log in.

  18. Still waiting for the capability to write emails off-line before I sign on to send my email like I used to be able to do.

    Still waiting for the capability to write emails off-line before I sign on to send them. This desktop software doesn't always load my emails once I've signed on...but it NEVER fails to load the advertising!!!! (Obviously advertising has precedence over my need to read and respond to emails!) Also, when I am responding to an email and delete what the other person has sent me in order to respond, the program doesn't recognize my preferences in font and size any longer. It is changed to some weird default font and size; I have to change it back to my preference…

    This feature is now available. If you hover the mouse over the Read icon it will show the first 10 new emails. You can check if the feature is active for you by clicking Settings > General > Toolbar > “Display Quick Views when signed on”. Also, you can set the display speed for Mail Quick View: Slow, Normal or Fast. Changes are saved automatically.

  20. Why can no one log on?
