  2. spam

    We need better spam controls that block mail before it even gets to our mailbox. The mail in the spam folder has grown exponentially and we have to check spam to insure valid emails are not there. We need an easy way to report spam so it does not make it to us. Otherwise, why am I paying for AOL. In looking at the comments, tis seems to be a priority to your customers.

  6. AOL IGNORES CONSUMERS

    over 1 month without specific local news for set location - no pertinent help from support at all - favorites now frustrating + NOT USER FRIENDLY - overall very poor site quality - no longer worth the price for paid subscribers at all -

  13. pop up ads

    Im see now that a pop up ad that takes up the top half of my welcome screen and has no feature to delete or remove is sourced from OATH. Pretty sorry set up AOL has when you put an ad on the screen that can not be removed. The address: https://www.shutterfly.com/signin/viewSignin.sfly?fid=66ce6a06ef3c230e8d3ee00937c23351aaecba539b174993

  14. Upgrade aol and it wiped out aol from my computer.

    Tony/Engineering:
    I followed your instructions below and and did keyword upgrade and it put a program on my desktop. After clicking that icon to open, I received an ERROR MESSAGE that it did not work. What it did was DELETE AOL GOLD from my computer 100%. Now when I click on the icon for the AOL GOLD....it does not connect. I had to uninstall the program and went to install AOL GOLD from the Internet and it says I am not illegible for it. WTH is going on?

    I am able to access my AOL email from Google Chrome.

    Please…

  16. IF YOU CAN'T FIX THIS ****** PROGRAM THEN GET RID OF IT

    I truly don't know how long we aol users are supposed to be putting up with this BS that you call a program but I'm **** sick and tired of getting upset every time I try to send email. Its either 'mail not sent because of an error' or 'wait 5 minutes and try again'... FIX THIS *. You have the nerve to charge us for a program that doesn't even work, doesn't perform to the low standards it was before this marvelous upgrade. * we'd be happy with the old version instead of this **** that doesn't work.…

  18. Only Post CURRENT News Stories

    Today you posted NEWS that K-mart and Sears were going to close stores in January 2018----like is there anyone interested in April 2018. And how many times can you post news stories and they still interest your leaders. You know, you don't always have 71 NEWS stories every day. Does anyone ever read them all. Recently, I have disregarded this section of your "welcome" because the news is rarely current news. Please get with it.

  20. Saving drafts often slow, duplicates, triplicates occur.

    This isn't a new idea. Others have complained about it but you say you can't replicate it and you close the "idea." I'm copying one comment: "Sometimes when saving Drafts, it is very slow. Then I'll find that duplicates and even triplicates are being saved. I spent an hour and a half on the phone yesterday with the Desktop Gold Tech office, and thought this problem was fixed. It is not. I have complained about this numerous times. If you won't fix it, bring back 9.8.2. I've sent this under Report A Bug also. Hopefully someone will read this." You…
