  6. 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 ?.

  7. I like how AOL Gold just up and stops working!

    I like how AOL Gold just up and stops working and then presents a screen window that merely says "AOL HAS STOPPED WORKING" and then closes the program and says nothing else. I know AOL Gold is a junk, dumb program but just shutting off and collapsing is pretty stupid. All the while AOL takes your money. Sick.

  8. 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…

  10. Problems with AOL Desktop Gold

    As a subscriber from the beginning, I don't care about so-called benefits. What I DO care about is the following:

    1. Stop the literally thousands of pornographic "dating" and myriad other types of spam messages from arriving DAILY in my mailbox. Most of them come from Japan, The Netherlands, Russia, and Google mail (gmail).

    2. As a paying subscriber, please stop the inane Google and other sponsored ads from inundating every square inch of whitespace on AOL Desktop Gold.

    3. DO NOT change anything on AOL Desktop Gold without notifying your paying subscribers first.

    4. Give paying subscribers the option of deleting the "Welcome"…

  12. Algorithm Enhancement

    I’ve made numerous suggestions about your comments screening algorithm. One of those was the algorithm screens comments and flags for words used in the article I’m commenting about. There are two issues (at least) with a comment flagged as needing review!!! One, you printed a hateful story that itself violates my sensibilities and standards, and second, words or ideas expressed in the article are flagged as needing review or rejected. This is an obvious contradiction and needs to be resolved!!! !!! Now if you really care about offending, what responsible actions will you take to show you mean what you…

  13. Comments

    I think AOL discourages all but their political dogma and censors those with different ideas.It is why I left AOL after so many years dating back to the middle 1990's.
    I see nothing has changed.

  19. 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

  20. Mute Function Doesn't Work & Made Numerous Complaints

    I've tried to repeatedly mute two agitator screen names "Larr y" and "Billionaire Tears" and their names & posts disappear for about a minute and then come back. Are these paid posters or protected posters? They're always negative and taunting and sometimes post lies. As a customer, I'm fed up with AOL either not fixing this function or allowing these people to ruin my chat experience.
