  2. It would help if one could actually get on AOL and get their email. I can't even get the help topics, cannot even get to oath.com. Nothing

    Can't get on AOL most of the time. Can't get email. Can't even get help. No internet problems at all. Gmail works instantly. AOL Gold Desktop is just the same old AOL flawed piece of software that it has always been. I only stay with it because people know my AOL address. But sooner rather than later I am gonna have to go to gmail or somewhere else because this is disgusting service for which I am paying.

  3. No you didn't fix it

    My below comment was merged to a closed comment section so neither I or anyone else could respond to your "answer".  Funny thing is the AOL response to it was a joke. When looking at the first "fix" on your list, I have news for you, it does not work. I am sure I could go down the list and find many more of the same. So don't assume because AOL thinks it may be fixed, it is not and we waste a lot of time struggling through multiple frustrations just to use AOL. If AOL was indeed serious about…

  4. Stop pop-up ads

    There is a pop-up ad I find offensive. After 45-minutes online (and then on the phone), I was told that AOL cannot stop this ad from popping up. In today's highly e-technical world, I find it impossible to believe AOL cannot block this ad.

  8. It should be possible to read mail saved on one's PC without having to sign on to AOL

    AOL is engaging in deception by telling users they can save mail on their PC. No, that is not true. If it was, users would be able to read it without signing on, would be able to back it up, and would be able to transfer it to another computer. This appears to be a ploy to force users to continue to pay for the desktop software indefinitely if they want to be able to read "saved" mail. AOL has had 5 months to restore this and other features that were available in older versions, and has failed to do…

  14. Refresh

    When I clicked the refresh on the upper right side of my welcome screen refresh. It shouldn't have to be re-do it to be back again normal. The exiting icon should be on the upper left side when I am done reading instead of the upper right side so I don't have to keep re-doing it the welcome screen back.

  19. Sign on screen

    I wrote something yesterday, April 18, and you grouped in with a complaint from January and then wrote that you responded to this idea. That is not true. You are grouping together or separate complaints and one heading with you really never did dealt with in the first place. You need somebody to go back and read your complaints. You have a lot a long time customers were very unhappy with you and you are not answering the question directly or changing what they’re complaining about.

  20. Bring Back Features of AOL98.2

    Many of the AOL users have used the Buddy List to know when their friend are online and the Instant messaging was a wonderful way to "talk" with family & friends... all over the world. Not everyone does Facebook, Twitter or any other social media....We used AOL for that...as a long time user when AOL was on floppy disc....era 90's there were so many loved features that you've discontinued all in the name of progress....some things are better than change and as a paying member I feel that you and Verizon should listen to the members for without them you…
