  1. Videos in your news stories do not play !

    When I try to see your news stories, 3 out of 4 times, I get a blank, black (or white) screen with no video, no text from the story and only hear the audio from the video. After r-loading page 3 or 4 times....sometimes it all shows up and plays OK. Not good.

  2. FIX THE EMAIL SYSTEM

    after reading a new email and marking it unread the email will sometimes go in the old email folder. I mark it unread to go back to new it goes into new then I check old folder and it's back in the old folder. I can go back and forth with this all day trying to keep an email new. Very frustrating. I have had tech support at least 3 times now with no fix. Hate the GOLD/CAN'T TRUST IT

  4. Favorites will not let you edit folder name & switches sizes when accessed.

    Problems with new gold version of favorites: 1. When you edit the name of a file in the favorites box there is no "save" button and if you return to the screen the title reverts to the original title. It will let you make and name a brand new folder but will not let you save and edit...or it is not made clear how to do it.2. When you click on the name of an item saved in a favorite file, the screen immediately enlarges so that you cannot see the left hand margin in the box with all the…

  7. go back to old address book and address card. not an improvement...like most of Gold

    Why did Gold alpha my phone numbers in the phone book? Stupid. Now when I open the phone book, I see name, email addr and their FAX! Who wants to see the FAX# as the primary - nobody. Gold has rearranged my contact #s by alpha which puts Fax first and work last. that is Stupid. Now I have to redo hundreds of contacts thanks to Gold. AND everytime I 'save' the corrected contact info - the phonebook automatically refreshes to the top of the contact list - AAA. Why not just save my corrections and keep the phone book…

  9. Hate this "new" way of providing feedback -- your upgrade ****

    Unable to drag & drop from Favorites into the signature (i.e. Follow me on Twitter - with link already attached). Adding pictures used to be simple - now I have to search for and then copy/paste from another area. AND, after painstakingly creating a signature, and using it many times . . . TODAY, one signature disappeared to be the signature from another saved signature. NOT HAPPY Trying to WORK here!

  19. GOLD address file still not working correctly

    The Gold address book is still working correctly. I have had issues with this from the very beginning. If you transfer a name from 'All Contacts' into an address folder it will not stay in there. I also get duplications in the address folders. I have lost names in the address folders also. I have contacted AOL techs several times and they reset my address book only to have it not work properly again and again. You have advised me that you have reset my address book and refreshed the servers. You have a bigger problem than resetting servers. You…
