  10. AOL Gold text

    AOL Gold text, both email and anything using AOL interface is terrible!
    fonts are jagged, thin and basically unreadable!
    Find myself using gmail more often as the clarity of it's text is excellent.
    Please correct or you will lose another subscriber!

  13. remove Datamask by AOL

    I need to know how to remove DataMask by AOL. After it was installed, PC slowed from 70 download to 9 download speeds. Write mail has been a headache spending more time on correcting words, spaceing and sentence structure. Dell and FIOS say it is the AOL GOLD and DataMask issue. 6 months ago I was on WIN 7 and Gold with no speed or write mail or missing incoming mail. If this is not the problem will reinstall.

  15. Emails: Personal File Cabinet Folders Disappeared! HELP!

    PFC folders: a random selection of about half of my AOL GOLD email folders mysteriously disappeared. The AOL Service Technician advised "not stored anywhere; no way to retrieve". How can this be possible?!
    I lost dozens of old emails with critical information.
    Per an Internet search, this has happened to others within the past 6 months, and has been reported to AOL by others.

    Have the emails simply vanished? They never even turned up in my trash. I want them back!!

  16. Games, we want games, not more ads.

    Fix games. Either can't get on or if i do and am playing a game, it stops.
    because something else is loading, Games should be working as they are part of your plan.

BESIDE EACH NAME IS THE PERSON'S REAL FIRST NAME, FOR EXAMPLE *@AOL.COM, ONLY THE FAILURE NOTICE LISTS IT AS *@AOL.COM, *@AOL.COM. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

  18. AOL Gold......I mean "OOPS"

    After more than 600 revisions to this defective browser (since I got duped into signing up) it still crashes all of the time and won't open websites, even after I just had them open moments ago. They finally got the browser to open up and start without crashing, but almost daily I have to completely reboot my computer in an attempt to get this horrible thing to even attempt at working properly. I see they are now offering a "Pro" version of AOL Shield....hmmm. I wonder if that one will operate without crashing all of the time.....

  20. Mail

    I send a mail this afternoon. I know I did because she responded. I want some info from that mail and look at SENT MAIL. It's not there. :(
    I delete a few things. I know I did because they're not there any more. Go to RECENTLY DELETED and they are not there. :(
    I'm losing important info because of AOL GOLD.
    Dump it or fix it.
