    Please expand the size of attachments to more than 25 MB. Because when I tried to forward the exact email that I received, AOL Desktop Gold did not allow me to do it. I was able to send more than 25 MB of attachments from the old AOL Desktop 9.8.2.

  7. How about making the print bigger and darker ?? This block's print is what the homepage and all should be.

    The print of AOL is too small and too light. Even with my glasses I have trouble reading the print. Never had this issue with the old 9,8 edition. Let's go back to it

  8. AOL GOLD is NOT as friendly as the previous version with shortcut keys.Put back the Shortcut Keys that were in previous versions.

    AOL GOLD is NOT as friendly as the previous version with shortcut keys. I am disabled and I use shortcut keys a lot using a mouse is much harder for me to navigate. Like reading emails I was able to use the right arrow key to go to the next email in the previous now. In AOL GOLD it does NOT WORK. To DELETE an email I could use the delete key in previous version, but NOT in AOL GOLD. In previous version to go to my favorites I could hit the ALT key + V does not work in…

    How about stating how many pages one has to click through until the final conclusion of an article. After 4-5 I give up.

  14. Save composed emails off line to send later.

    Reinstate the old style email ability of saving composed email to send at a later date. Composing emails OFF LINE is the main reason I have stayed with AOL. If it isn't corrected soon I may no longer have much of a reason the stay a member.

  15. Spam Mail Deletion

    I would suggest that recently deleted "Spam Mail" should go into the "Recently Deleted" folder the way previous versions (Blue) of AOL did for years. This would allow review prior to permanent deletion, esp. if the Spam Mail were deleted in error.

  18. AOL Gold is worse than the early versions

    1. AOL freezes up all over the place. You have to shut down the entire program and restart it to get it to function again. I have top of the line virus protection. No viruses found. No other application I access behaves like this so I can say it is AOL. Most likely due to all the spam you allow on your sites.

    2. Members list STILL remains unsorted. Anyone in your IT department know how to insert a simple sort and refresh into the code? They teach this in the 101 level.

    3. Cannot add additional user/screen names? Who made that decision?…

  19. For AOL Favorites, please re-include the “OPEN” Command in AOL’s File Menu dropdown box, as in AOL 9.8.2

    The MANAGE FAVORITES button (now in Version 11.0.1550) allows you to use the ‘SAVE' Option to save a copy of your current AOL Favorites list to a folder of your choice. And the “REPLACE” Option will let you ‘recall’ it in the future for replacing your then-running AOL Favorites list.
    Sometimes, however, you need only to simply access (view and display) the contents of one of these ‘saved’ AOL Favorites.fav files (i.e. but NOT ‘replace’ your currently running AOL Favorites).
    So please re-include the “OPEN” Option (in AOL’s File menu dropdown box), allowing you to quickly navigate to it and…

  20. I want to see an AOL that really works.

    I keep waiting for this amazing "GOLD" to be the solution to everything and have been patient ... yet, it's taking forever and is very unsatisfying. the LATEST has been any emojis or emoticons in emails i receive are merely letters - i.e., - \uD83D\uDE18\uD83E\uDD17 - what is THAT? then sometimes my emails freeze while i'm composing and go black. and i have to control/alt/delete to get things to start up again. i'd like to be able to COMPRESS my mail again. I'd like to put my email screen names (5) in the order I want vs. alpha as you've…
