  1. aol search

    Please fix the situation where the AOL search page pops up just about everytime I click a link in my favorites. Its annoying as F. and I'm seriously considering for the first time since I signed up for AOL in the 1990's going with a different provider. I mean, this week it even starting happening when I signed in. STOP IT! please? thank you!

    Try clearing the browser footprints. Here’s how: a. In the top left corner of the AOL Desktop window, click “Edit” then choose “Select Footprints to Clear” from the drop-down menu. b. Select “Clear Footprints” from the Browser Settings. No need to wait for a confirmation message, the Footprints will be cleared immediately. If you still encounter issues call us at 1-888-265-3733.

  4. Restore "notifyaol@abuse.aol.com" so we can forward fraudulent emails being sent to subscribers as being sent by aol.

    Restore "notifyaol@abuse.aol.com" or create a new email for that purpose so that aol users receiving bogus emails seemingly from aol can be forwarded to you for investigation. I recently received one entitled "deactivation" that claimed I was cancelling my email account. This was pure baloney. I tried to forward it to the above previously working email address but was told it didn't exist.

  6. Cancelled TV Shows: Effective Immediately - Freezes Screen

    After the first screen in the articles under the above category the screen freezes and a dissertation based on what appears to be a Microsoft site screen freezes the system. There is a box at the bottom to 'call' someone. This appears to be a scam. I used ctrl-alt-delete and cancelled the AOL task to get out of it. Clean up your act!

  7. Latest News Headlines

    Latest Headlines. Over the last 2 days I can only access AOL News and non of the other options. Why are they offered if not available, and why does an alternate selection always defaults back to AOL News.

    If this happens again, press CTRL+Z keyboard combinations immediately. That will undo the latest change and bring back the accidentally deleted text.

    If you opened the Zoom option under Edit on the top left corner simply click anywhere outside that window and it will disappear.

  11. Manage mail listings better.

    Please fix the jumble where mail is listed. I am IT professional. You can do better. There is no way to correct the jumble except to exit AOL and restart. Crude programming.

    Please, please return performance of the three (DJIA, NASDAQ, S&P) or four (3+Russell) major indices to the top of your finance page. I know what I'm looking for when I visit Finance. If I find it, I may stay and browse. If not, you can bet the farm that I'll go elsewhere - fast.

  17. photos

    When will photos be fixed so they can be pasted in the body of email and not as attachments? It used to work fine with Win 7 but no longer in Win 10 despite making photos smaller or cropping. Having an editor in Gold is useless w/o being able to send a photo. Now one photo won't even send, takes forever and then getting error message to try later. I have reported this "bug" for over 6 months and it still doesn't work.

  18. EMAIL Replies

    When doing a reply, I HIGHLIGHT only the text I want to be copied at the

    bottom of the email.

    BUT now it ignores the HIGHLIGHTed text and copies ALL into the bottom...

    The default used to be, no highlighting = copy all.
    With highlighting, copy ONLY the highlighted
