  7. Major Outage 6 Nov 2018

    No one could sign on to AOL for many hours on 6 Nov 2018. Various outside sites reported that it was in vast areas of the U.S. and later people from around the world were saying the same ting. This isn't the first such outage and we need to know what happened and if these major break downs will persist!

  11. this is my 9th time trying to correct this problem I decided to try one more time to see if it could

    Mildred E. ***** (m****10@aol.com) this is my 9th time trying to correct this problem I decided to try one more time to see if it could be corrected.
    It is hard to explain however below is my explanation of what is happening. I do not have the boxed check to save my email addresses.

    1. When I put in group emails the emails immediately transfer to the section where I have my single emails by name.

    2. Consequently the emails address only from the group are mingled in with my emails by name.

    3. If I delete the emails only that's…

    Due to recent adjustments to the AOL Mail platform, any new email addresses you add to the Address Book Groups, will also appear as individual contacts.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  16. 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,.
