  2. Welcome, You've Got Mail, Goodbye voiced by Sonic the Hedgehog

    I love all the sound options you have for Welcome, You've Got Mail & Goodbye. However, could you make the 3 sound effects voiced by Ben Schwartz, Jaleel White, Tahj Mowry, Jason Griffith, Roger Craig Smith, and/or Christian Heywood. I figured since Sonic The Hedgehog has been very popular this decade with the movies, the Netflix series and Sonic Saturdays on Nickelodeon I thought it would be cool if one of the voice actors who played Sonic the Hedgehog could say "Welcome", "You've Got Mail" and "Goodbye" AOL effects.

    1. Ben Schwartz (voiced Sonic in Sonic Movie #1, #2 and #3).

  8. 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!

  9. Allow me to comment. I have had AOL since I got my first computer. I had always been able to sign in, read articles and comment. No longer!

    Since I have had AOL, pay and use auto deduct from my financial account I am in good standing. I could sign in, read articles and comment. As of a few months ago I am now required to sign in to comment when I am signed in to my account. Today I am not allowed to sign in to comment. If AOL wants me gone, tell me and I will save the monthly fee I pay. I was upset having to sign in twice but did so since I had been with them so long. Now I am allowed to…

  10. STOP THE COUNTLESS ADS covering every page.

    Have any of you geniuses at AOL even tried reading an article?? With all the ads covering the content of the article there are only small bits of written material between the ads -- making it so hard to read, it is not worth clicking on any article.

  11. I want to thank AOL for the increase of SPAM in my SPAM folder. I asked for it to stop.

    I want to thank AOL for the increase of SPAM in my SPAM folder. I asked for it to stop and what do they do? Increase what they are dumping on me. I don't know of any other service that goes out of the way to increase SPAM. THANKS, for nothing.

    Yes. Over the coming weeks you will receive a prompt to install .Net 8. This is a Windows requirement for AOL Desktop Gold to continue to make updates to its software and fix bugs that are reported by our community.


    If prompted, please click the accept button. Other applications will also be promoting .Net 8 in the near future.

  15. Stop the ads covering the content in articles

    It is becoming too difficult to read any AOL articles. Too many ads cover the content, and you must read between the ads -- sometimes only a line or two between the ads.

  16. AOL Moderators Repeatedly Ignore Reported Vile Poster "TheOriginalMittens"

    I've repeatedly reported this poster for vile comments and pornographic memes and AOL has done NOTHING. Other posters have their posts rejected for benign banned words or sometimes posts just disappear. DO YOUR FREAKING JOB!

  17. Comment Section; Use better judgement before rejecting

    This comment was rejected regarding the story on Jackie Robinson: "Jackie Robinson article on MLB legend's Army history restored to Department of Defense website after removal" Comment-Restored as it should be. He survived the scorn of people who felt he did not belong to become an inspiration to generations of black athletes & all sports fans. He was the role model for young blacks in all walks of life. He constantly worked to overcome adversity. His Character should to be admired as well as his athleticism & patriotism. There is absolutely no reason for this to have been rejected. It's…
