  1. Neither CUT or EDIT/UNDO will remove a graphic from an email I am composing

    If I put a graphic in an email I am composing and then immediately decide to remove the graphic I can not remove it. I have to close the email and start all over. Don't tell me to clear my footprints. That does not help.

  2. I am paying for this aggravation?? Go back to 9.8.

    There is so much wrong in every area that I can't list everything here. Plus thing we loved like the Buddy List no longer exist. Things I have posted about in the past were either deleted with no explanation, or else they were not fixed or addressed. I have been a member since the 90's and this "updated" "better" Gold is the worst ever. Everyone wants 9.8. Why are you resisting? It has been months now with no fixes to critical problems.

    The browser is the worst piece of garbage. It does not update when you make changes to web…

  4. URGENT! Graphics being sent to customers have the resize box around them!

    Please fix immediately. AOL is ruining my business. I can not send graphics I create for customers. They have the resize box around them...they do not have the transparent backgrounds that they should have...and maybe it's just this crummy browser but they appear larger than they really are. What is AOL doing to us and when will all this be fixed?? There are problems in every area and I am paying for all of this????

  5. Every time I return to the computer I get a message "Error retrieving Account Info" WHY?

    Every time I return to the computer I get a message saying "Error retrieving Account Info. Why?
    That's the reason I cannot pick up my e-mail when I'm away from my computer. which I could on the old Aol which was free. I hate to pay for something which is worse than the free version.

  8. When Gold is open the entire computer is slowed down.

    When Gold is open the ENTIRE COMPUTER is slowed down. AOL Thinks I am saying The Desktop is slow, NO. It slows down other programs. When I get to work and turn on my computer, if I do not open Gold Desktop, everything opens quickly and with no problem, Word, Excel open in seconds. Once I open Gold Desktop everything is slowed down very very very much. It takes Word over 30 seconds to open if not more. The same with other programs. Firefox opens and then hangs just to open the basic page.
    Why is this happening? All during…

  11. AOL Gold email needs to be remedied

    When sending email and especially with attachments, frequently error messages appear and instruct to try again later. This rarely happened with previous versions of AOL. The new "Gold" should not have been rolled out until it was better prepared

  14. Refund monies when unable to access netFailed to load URL https://search.aol.com/aol/search?q=national%20archives%2c%20washington&s_it=loki-

    I've been paying aol for over 15 years and at this hour am unable to gain access to any site. WHY?
    Someone should be able to program simple tasks and stop screwing with updates that only delay and harm customers.
