  1. You have a section where you can block emails and sites but you don't have one where you can allow sites.

    You have a section where you can block emails and sites but you don't have one where you can put the "Good" sites you don't ever want to go to SPAM. Other browsers have that. AOL does not. Any chance we can get it?

  2. moving passwords to new PC

    Allow users to add / edit site passwords. I have one issue where password was accidentally deleted. Password manager no longer asks to save said password, and there is no way to manually add it .

    I also, recently purchased new PC, and it is a pain having to go to every site, hoping the password manager will store the passwords. Some passwords are not being stored. Please fix that.

  3. "move to" for sent emails

    when trying to use "move to" for sent emails, the only option is "on my pc". the "on aol" option is gone.

    the "on aol" option for any other email is there, sent emails is the only place it is missing now.

  4. FUZZZY AND GRAINY photos WHEN I UPLOAD SCREENSHOTS WHY IS THAT TAKE OFF THAT COMPRESSION THING IN YOUR SOFTWARE!!!!!

    I wonder why why is it when I send a photo upload a photo taking a screenshot it turns out so grainy and fuzzy it's very frustrating and very inconvenient as to why it keeps happening

    I'm thinking that you guys are using some compression in the software that's compressing my photos that's making them turn out blurry and grainy please don't do that will you take that off of my account to where my photos are not compressed I get tired of telling people that it's not me it's freaking AOL that's doing that

  7. RE: GOLD AOL Why in the world would I have 50 emails in the "New" category and 428 emails in the "Inbox" category???

    If I have 50 emails in the "New" category and 428 emails in the "Inbox" category what is the point. The "Inbox" has not only the "New" but it also has items I have deleted. If I deleted items, I would think those should be in the "Deleted" area...not in a unnecessary category titled "Inbox". Get ride of Inbox and just have New, Deleted, Spam, etc. The "Inbox" is not necessary if there is New and Deleted.

  8. When expanding a folder, the pfc goes to the top.

    In previous versions of AOL Desktop and AOL GOLD, when expanding a folder that has a sub-folder, it would stay at that location. Now it goes to the top and one has to scroll back down to select the sub-folder. This needs to change

  10. "Comments" section on AOL posted news articles

    After reading an article accessed by clicking on the "Welcome" tab on AOL Gold Desktop, there is a "Comments" tab which gives you access to comments other people have made and you can make comments yourself. Occasionally, the user may make a comment that might be prohibited e.g. the use of a profanity word e.g. a comment like "That was a **** of a stupid thing to do"
    So, a message will pop up that tells you that your comment is under review. That usually means your comment has been flagged by whatever algorithm AOL uses for such things. However,…

  11. Forwarding emails to yourself Strips Link Functionality:

    Don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but when forwarding a "your item has been shipped" email from Amazon, AOL strips the link functionality from the orange "Track Package" button in the body of the email. Very annoying, can this be fixed please?

  14. Tool bar icons

    Why are you screwing around with the icons that reflect the subject in the upper tool bar? I'm a weatherman. You've taken away any meaningful icons . . . clouds, lightning, temperature, wind etc. Also financial icons are all but gone. The many that you offer are mostly childish

  16. Quit playing with the news screen.

    Changing the format from article to article makes it difficult to quickly sort through the different news topics. Of course that is what AOL wants as it causes clicking where the previous article was to get something of no interest.

  17. Below are my comments

    I have been a subscriber to your service and for the past several years even paying for the service. I don't wish to go through the hassle of moving however I am now considering doing so. Why, because every time I sign on, I have to discard one or more "additional" services you want to offer me. You need to provide an "opt out" button for those who pay for your service, otherwise I have to consider going with one of the more popular "free" services. Thank you..

  19. Fact check stories for new information, rather than repeat the original narrative.

    AOL sometimes runs a story, based on media narrative, but leaves out facts learned after the event, which show the story was fabricated. ...then continue to running the story but discontinue comments. ...case in point, the article on George Floyd's actual cause of death is not given, while promoting the police brutality narrative. Not only was the cause of his death by police in question, but unfair to police rank and file, by lowering morale, making recruitment more difficult and emboldening criminals.....is this a direction we want to go?
