  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).

  6. 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!

  10. 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…

  11. Desktop gold should be free

    I get it aol has been in a bad financial spot for years but this new desktop software should be free instead of costing 6$ just to beta test and be nostalgic with the classic sounds, i only signed up for a 30 day free trial and then canceled it cause idk why something as simple as this isnt free....im only limited to using 4 or 5 features unless i pay money which is not right

    At least be free to use while the subscriptions are optional

  12. Give us a free option and make the subscriptions optional

    I got to download desktop gold but its really irritating that i am only limited to just the browser and like 3 or 4 or so features unless i pay money, so i want the option for all of it to be free and the option to pay will still be there just....not be the solution to use it...cause why do i have to pay 6$ just to hear some nostalgia ?.

  15. Unable to reach you by phone

    I have been tryingf to contact AOL all morning but the recording is not responding. "Please say the first three letters of your email address" . I kept saying them and getting a repeat over and over. I am paying for my AOL subscription and am fed up! Running out of time now, having wasted half the morning.
    I finally got through by asking for billing instead of Tech support. The wait time is 20 minutes. Dont have time and will likely drop AOL soon as I am wasting $5 month.

  20. Dark Settings Tabs

    The themes in the Personalization is great and adding a dark theme was a great idea. However, I have the dark theme applied but in the settings window, the tabs are still white (not the browser tabs but the tabs within settings for example backgrounds, sounds, toolbar, theme, & font and text). Everything else other than that is dark.
