  1. Welcome window "News" window keeps moving when paging throuugh articles

    The News window now has been changed to a smaller size and keeps moving when paging through the news articles so as to hit ads all the time. Very clever idea..NOT. Now have watch the arrows or you hit ads..Why this change? Please change back to original News window so it doesn't move around in the Welcome window.

  2. SPAM

    You provide nice ability to direct designated Emails to Spam. Why not provide an option to automatically delete it. I get as many as 60 a day from a known Addresses, but now I have to scan Spam just in case something I want to see is imbedded among the known to be Spam. Just let me delete kno· Product Support (Admin, AOL) responded

  3. If you are staying on Windows 7, do NOT reinstall Windows unless you want a hassle!

    If you are staying on Windows 7, do NOT reinstall Windows unless you want to go through the hassle of copying system files.

    I have a few Win7 computers and noticed that when I did a fresh install on one of them I could no longer download AOL Desktop Gold. It gave a "download error". I called tech support and they said Windows 7 is no longer supported, which is silly. Windows 7 still works perfectly.

    I had to take the installation files and Program Files folders and copy them from another computer to make it work. 11.0.4125 is the…

  6. disable welcome screen

    In either General or Browser settings, provide an option to disable the Welcome Screen. It is a memory hog and cause AOL Desktop Gold to freeze or randomly lock up.

  7. AOL's email ***** up

    Your new app for phones is disgusting. Go back to the old app that does not lead the person a news feed and other ****. When someone is on their phone they wish to check their email, not see your news feeds. Or at least on the new app give the user the ability to direct the opening page so they don't have to go through the news page. I know that it is probably a money making issue for AOL but please have some concern for the folks that use the app.

  9. Moderation is against the U.S. Constitution and is Marxist

    Please explain to me what is wrong with responding to someone saying that Hamas is going to Heaven, by replying "To meet their mail virgins for the men", or "To meet men who haven't had sex for the men". Both of these are rejected and do not harm anyone in the community or the readers. This is becoming unamerican and, even though you are private company, you cannot violate the rights of citizens to speak when it's not harmful. I feel a class action lawsuit coming.

  11. The updated revision of AOL has some terrible changes

    When responding to an email the FONT is NOT CLEAR like before ...
    It is NOT the FONT that I choose to reply....
    The Tech stated that it was changed by the UPDATE ....
    This is NOT satisfactory and needs to be reversed to a clearer FONT.

    In addition .... when deleting an email the response is another windows asking if I want to delete the the email ..... THIS IS REDUNDANT .....

    The tech stated this was changed with the updated version ....

    PLEASE REVERSE THE CHANGES .....DO NOT LIKE THE CHANGES BECAUSE IT TAKE EXTRA CLICKS AND WASTING…

  15. lmprovements needed in steps to clear out old messages

    1) I have too many saved messages in my Old and Sent Folders.
    2) The first improvement is to give AOL customers the option to sort by To/From and within that grouping by DATE
    3) The second improvement is to allow AOL customers to go back to where they were in the list of messages under review-NOT THE TOP of the List.

    What will it take for AOL to make these improvements?

  16. ads

    Advertisement for discount on Pizza ....and low and behold there is a picture under the advertisement of a man on the toilet with a horrible look on his face. Why should I have to look at that!? I am sure your Pizza advertisers would be thrilled to see their product with this other ad. How sick is that...disgusting....please be more judicious in pairing ads.

  18. a way to enlarge aol emojis on microsoft keyboard

    Select and position emoji. Highlight it. Press ctrl key, shift key and + key.
    Everything may enlarge with emoji, but just highlight text (sans emoji) and reduce it using the Aa button under the "subject" line.

  19. AOL Desktop Gold

    I appreciate so much Kevin's help tonight. He is the best technician that I have had from AOL in forever!!
    I do not like the added feature of (Views) in the new AOL. It is a real nuisance to me! Please consider deleting it from my account.

  20. Why Does an E-Mail Open When All I Want to Do Is Highlight It?

    I had no trouble highlighting an e-mail title in my mailbox before the last month or two. Suddenly, now, as soon as I single-click on one, doing so not only opens the e-mail, it also opens to a full page. This is exceedingly annoying to say the least. What's going on, AOL?
