  2. Improve you news & update it

    Your news articles/reviews seem to run for ever & many are pure garage. The interview on "best before dates" has run its course weeks age , take it off & not interesting in the least. Why not try & improving AOL's name by posting better articles/reviews, your news is boring. It makes me want to get rid of my AOL acct.

  7. Allow floating windows

    The browser is trying to be more than it is by masking itself as a separate desktop. Don't do this, use modules and instances instead. Have a main browser and when you click an item have it open a new module for that app that can float and be moved wherever on the screen, do not constrain only to the browser window.

  8. Create an email app for phones

    I know there is one but it is not dedicated to email and does not even have the "you've got mail" alert tone if not going to fix the existing one at least create a better more simple one that is strictly email for gold members.

  9. New Weather Screen Format Sucks!

    Well AOL, you messed up yet another page. The weather page sucks now. You chose to throw in a huge ad/commercial box, while decreasing the size of the weather box!

    We come to the weather page to see the WEATHER, NOT ADS! Make it so you don't have to increase the page size to actually SEE what the screen is supposed to actually be about.

    The weather should be the focus of the page, not the advertising, contrary to what your marketing department says!!

  13. Improving Linux compatibility of installer with latest Beta versions (.net 4.8 won't install)

    Hello everyone from Germany,

    AOL was my first ISP back in 1998 and I thought of what has become of this old classic.

    I learned about the Beta site and thought I'd give it a try on Linux using wine (wine is not an emulator).

    Unfortunately the installer crashed right away when it was trying to install .net 4.8.

    I posted the following but for this
    https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54735

  14. Change to new email signature, with previous version of AOL Mail.

    I use an older version of AOL Mail. I have an e-mall signature with this version. I want to change to another signature, but it appears I must first "sign-up" with AOL Gold and pay a monthly fee. Really? I have had an e-mail signature for years with the older version without a fee, but now, if I want to change to another "signature", that will involve a monthly charge, really? This isn't critical, but it is important for enjoying my email experience. Thanks, but no thanks.

  18. 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.

  19. Welcome screen size

    As of Monday, 03/20 the size of the welcome screen changed so that the page forward, or backward indicators (< & >) are below the visible screen. This is a pain. Put it back the way it was before this "improvement".
