    Please let us know when you make updates to AOL Gold and what they are. Also, it feels as if there is no response to these Feedback comments and requests. Just silence. Like talking to the wall.

  4. Staff training: efficient customer SERVICE focus

    Your online how to change password instructions are incorrect (No Account Security page/link-- it goes to Log In screen, without Change Password option).

    I called for assistance, Tina asked more than 6 verification questions without starting pw change. I asked her to focus on resetting my password but she said more 'verification" was needed. When I did not have the last 4 digits of my credit card payment handy, she said I didn't know the answers so she couldn't reset the password. I said I answered more than 6 questions already and spent 30+ minutes trying to update my pw,…

    Hi there, in case you are still experiencing issues accessing your AOL Calendar in AOL Desktop Gold, we recommend updating the favorite for the calendar. To do that type calendar.aol.com in the address box, and press Enter, and after the page has fully loaded, click on the heart icon on the top right corner of the web-page and select ‘Add to Favorites’. You can also add a shortcut for the AOL Calendar in the AOL Desktop Gold’s toolbar, by following these steps:

    1. Sign in to AOL Desktop Gold.
    2. Click the ‘Add a Fav’ icon from the Toolbar.
    3. Type ‘Calendar’ into the Search for a shortcut box.
    3. Left-click on the Calendar shortcut and select ‘Add to Toolbar’.

  7. Cannot Copy URL to EMAIL and Link Be Active When Clicked On By Receiver Of Email

    Copy URL -- Place on Email to send -- the URL link does not show blue - you send email-- person getting it - still does not show blue link - just black -- clicks on URL to go to site-- NOTHING HAPPENS
    You cannot copy and paste a URL onto an email and it be an active link when clicked on. If you copy and place on site as a blog it works fine. You have a problem when link copied and transferred to email-- NEEDS TO BE FIXED as this has been happening -- report it and it…

  10. Next time you have an upgrade try not to have it affect access

    A weeks ago on AOL a popup came up about an upgrade and I clicked it on and after that, I was not able to access AOL from the icon I have on my desktop. Your support team worked on this but when we kept trying to access it again from desktop again, it wasn't opening as it should

  11. Show SECURITY status of my AOL GOLD!

    My idea is to... HAVE THE DATE of updates, within where it says "You are up to date". I know I'm up to date, but don't know what or when the UPDATE was?

  17. Manage mail listings better.

    Please fix the jumble where mail is listed. I am IT professional. You can do better. There is no way to correct the jumble except to exit AOL and restart. Crude programming.

  19. FIX ADS COVERING THE "PEOPLE HERE" LIST IN CHATROOMS

    Please either fix the ads so they don't cover up the "People Here" list and "Notify AOL" button or please stop the ads. This is extremely annoying. At times the ads work their way up to nearly covering up the entire "People Here" list. The only way to fix it when it does this is to exit and re-enter the chatroom.
