  3. When are all these corrections going to be made?

    No offense intended, but my patience with aol gold has worn pretty thin. I saw where an aol person mentioned in their answer to a complaint that it is updated every two weeks. I am still having issues from when aol gold went live that are not fixed!?! The least aol can do is to allow us to use 9.6 until gold functions without a hitch.

  4. SPAM stuck in SPAM folder

    I posted this a week ago. Got an answer to refresh my email box which I did and indicated in a response that I did. No answer; no fix. Then I posted it as a bug. No answer; no response. Still have the problem but I want some attention paid to this because it is the 3rd time it has happened. I'm tired of it happening...and having to fix it myself only to have it recur again. Clearly a problem with this Desktop Gold software, among many.

  8. FIX THE EMAIL SYSTEM

    after reading a new email and marking it unread the email will sometimes go in the old email folder. I mark it unread to go back to new it goes into new then I check old folder and it's back in the old folder. I can go back and forth with this all day trying to keep an email new. Very frustrating. I have had tech support at least 3 times now with no fix. Hate the GOLD/CAN'T TRUST IT

  9. Editing My Address Book

    When Editing My Address Book, once I delete an entry, the system jumps back to the top of the list. Very annoying! Make the system stay at the point of "edit."

  11. Missing a ton of email

    Inbox says I have several emails I mean thousands (which I should because I am lazy and don't check often plus get a lot of junk) but I have 4 new emails and old ones I had saved as new a long time ago. Where did the rest go? Says 3000 emails has 15... Where did they go, when I need to see some of them? Is this because of windows update? Windows 10 updated, and restarted then my aol was unresponsive, I ended the task now no matter how many times I close and open aol I can't see…

  14. AOL DESKTOP GOLD

    I randomly experience the inability to log on. Also my version of AOL Gold does not get updated or that I have been so advised.
    know where to check for current version of AOL Gold would be helpful

    Being self employed creates enormous issues when the anomolies occur

  20. AOL Gold browser freezes up, locks, won't load even it's own pages

    Really? I have to close the browser, and completely reboot my computer to get this browser to work properly? While this one is busy not doing anything, using half a gb of ram, I can open AOL Shield and go to the website I can't get Gold to open. Geesh, almost 300 revisions now and it's still a pain in the .............
