  1. I have to say that so far Gold SUCKS

    Get back to the service we used to have at AOL. I'm constantly losing emails, emails not loading and having to sign off and on again to make things work. What's going on???

  2. 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…

  5. 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…

  7. 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!

  17. 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…

  19. AOL Gold has too many glitches. Does not work like old FREE version

    The free old version was so much better than the new AOL which I now pay for. Constant issues, less options. Today it says I have 160+ emails and I can only see 3 in my New mail folder. Go back to the way it was. This is terrible,
