  3. Still the same problems after update

    Still getting Not Responding after your update this past week. Still having lag time in opening emails and when they're loading. When deleted list of SPAM and deleted emails appear for permanent deletion, shaded lines appear before everything is loaded/appears. there is also lag time and not instant like it use to be. Ads still appear in my main email...why am i paying for GOLD??? You said to report a bug and I did but I'm sure other people are still having these problems as well. TEST BEFORE RELEASE!!!

  4. Out going emails

    When building an outgoing email every time I click in a different spot the email jumps, also if I delete one address in the address bar the remainder jumps to the end. WHY? Please find a way to make them remain still until I send!

  8. AOL adding an unremoveable header/footer to a composed body email during printing!

    How to delete auto-printing of Date, Subject, To and From when printing emails!  I have copied and pasted into a blank composed email for 30 years.  NEVER have these AOL auto headers/footers appeared until last week!  In print preview, I've always turned off headers/footers and I would be able to print just the body of the email I composed.  I  still turn those printers options off but now AOL has attached these titles (Subject, Date, To and From) when I'm simply printing an email that I'm not even sending to anyone!  My AOL address is autoprinting at the top of…

  9. Need link extension for to AOL Browser for Acrobat Reader

    Links don't don't work in the Adobe Acrobat Reader anymore using AOL browser. They only work now in Microsoft or the Google browsers. I don't want to use those browsers as default. Can AOL add the Acrobat Reader "link extension" to the AOL browser please?

  14. CompuServe Gold sounds

    It would be great to have the CompuServe welcome/gotmail/goodbye sounds on the CompuServe Gold client instead of the AOL sounds.

    I have the sound files from a CompuServe 2000 install if you need them.

  15. Download Time

    The download manager is great. However, could you update it to say how long it would take to download a file that is in the process of downloading?

  17. fix the drop down menu on the search bar. It will not disappear and won't go into the background. It is a nuisance.

    These "suggestions" or whatever they are are a nuisance. Please remove that feature.

  18. I can not change the privacy controls on the dashboard

    I can not change the privacy controls on the dashboard no matter if I change browsers, turn off the VPN, etc. It says "OH NO Were were unable to process your request. START OVER.

    Crazy, I've tried it through the desktop and mail.aol.com as well. Nothing works. I called into the helpline and spent forever talking with them about it. This was their best suggestion to submit feedback. PLEASE FIX!

  19. aol desktop gold, contacts, address book

    When I delete a contact, it goes back to the top of the list. This is not ideal when deleting multiple contacts since I need to scroll down every time I want to delete a new contact.
    I worked with AOL tech support and they said that this feature is not available. I think it will be better to have an option in the future to select multiple contacts that we want to delete (same as we do on emails).
