  1. 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?

  3. Stop relocating the AOL icon on my desktop.

    Stop relocating the AOL icon on my desktop. I have placed it just where it is most convenient for me. Please leave it alone. Not a big deal, but it is an irritant.

  4. Facilitate transfer of AOL files to other devices

    I have been trying in many ways to copy folders and files I saved on AOL My PC and place them as backup in a folder of Documents in my Desktop computer but I have not succeed. I call Costumer Services for assistance, after trying with the assistant we were not able to have results and he said that Gold AOL do not permit to do it. I am really disappointed to know that always will have to depend on the AOL platform to access many old files. I want to know if AOL can give me option to provide…

  8. Add an Update Password Feature

    The convenience of the Password saving feature is marred by our inability to change the password when necessary. I just got an alert about a Google data breach and had to change that password. AOL refuses to allow the change in the Browsers' Password manager's box. Data breeches are now almost a monthly event, so this feature would be a great addition.

  9. bring back the hover animations from version 9.0 optimized

    AOL desktop gold still looks and feels like 9.0 optimized from 2003 however, there are no hover over animations like in the 2003 version, that would be a nice aesthetic touch! also provide a toggle within settings to give users the option to turn it off it they don't like it. I can provide examples if needed lol :)

  13. Save Column Widths

    While this is not a new idea, I tough a new appeal might draw attention to it. On the default AOL Desktop screen are “My Mail Folders” on the left and individual emails under “Date”, “From”, and “Subject” headings on the right. I can adjust the width of the “My Mail Folder” area. I can adjust the width of the three email headings. If I switch between the “Inbox”, “New”, “Old”, and “Sent” tabs, the widths remain. However, if I close AOL desktop, they do not get saved. Even going to the “Search Mail” tab and back, resets all of…

  14. GET RID OF CENSORSHIP ON AOL NEWS

    Get rid of your AI algorithms that constantly misinterpret articles, and go strictly by 'word content'. If you are saying WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? The how the F##k can you censor a person when they give their opinion. Furthermore, if their content doesn't agree with the average Joe Biden or Birney Sanders thought pattern - they censor you. I have been a paying customer for over 25 years!!!!!!!!!!!! MY OPINION MATTERS! LET'S FIRE THE SONS OF BITCHES WHO THINK THEY ARE SMARTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE! ESPECIALLY THE LIBTARDS!

  16. No Prev and Next Buttons in Search Mail Tab

    I am using AOL Desktop Revision 11.1.5071. When I open an email within my Inbox, the bottom right section of each email has buttons for “< Prev” and “Next>”. If I enter a string in the “Quick Find” box and open one of those emails, they have the same buttons. However, if I click on the “Search Mail” tab and enter a string, then open one of those emails, they do not have the “Prev” and “Next” buttons. Can you add them there?

  17. CompuServe Welcome Screen Not Working

    When signing in, the CompuServe Welcome Screen (main menu) doesn't load. Instead there's an error "This site can’t be reached
    Check if there is a typo in webcenters.netscape.compuserve.com.

    If spelling is correct, try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
    DNSPROBEFINISHED_NXDOMAIN"

    It appears "webcenters.netscape.compuserve.com" is no longer a valid site. Perhaps changing the welcome screen to use "https://member.compuserve.com/menu/" would be a good fix
