  1. HEY, AOL TECHS PLEASE REMOVE THE MICROSOFT.NET FRAMEWORK 4.8 "UPGRADE"JAMMING LINK YOU PUT IN MY AOL GOLD

    I'M A PAYING CUSTOMER AND YOU ARE COMMITTING AN ILLEGAL ACT AND BREAKING THE LAW BY JAMMING A PAID FOR PROGRAM AND PRODUCT, BY FORCING, REQUIRING USER TO "CANCEL" THIS AOL POPUP BEFORE THEY CAN CONTINUE OR MOVE ON TO ANY FUNCTION IN THE AOL GOLD PROGRAM. I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS. i DON'T WANT IT, i WONT USE IT AND AOL IS BEING ILLEGALLY INVASIVE BY ADDING THIS TO ITS CUSTOMER USE REQUIREMENTS.

    I EXPECT A BIG FAT CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT WILL PROBABLY BE COMING TO AOL BECAUSE OF YOUR CRIMINAL, ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL BUSINESS CONDUCT BY FORCING CUSTOMERS TO…

  8. Browser does NOT replace password, does not ask AND IT HANGS!!

    I have one Website that has my ID but apparently has no password.
    When I put it in by hand, the browser does not ask if I want to save it nor does not add the password in its list.

    Well, I checked and there is NOTHING saved for that site !! It got lost during all those updates, cause it was once there!!

    I'm in the process of having passwords copied from CHROME and it's been about 15 minutes and STILL "COPYING" !!!

  9. Slow Response Loading Welcome Page and Changing Screen Names

    The AOL tech on 7/2/20 sent a Bug report indicating my Welcome Screen and changing screen names were slow in responding. She said the issues were intermittent and said the issue was with my computer. Yes, on VERY FEW occasions, it is intermittent. BUT THAT IS A FALSE ANALYSIS.

    As a 23-year paid member and before AOL Gold, I used an older PC and router and slower Internet speeds, and never had a slow running computer using AOL. So, why now? All other browsers work fine ALL OF THE TIME.

    Although this AOL contact seems to find fault with my…

  10. The chat room d

    Chat room is freezing up. When someone responds to your comment on a given topic and you want to reply by clicking "View in Conversation," you cannot get back to the other person's response. And the chat room keeps freezing up and pausing even when typing a comment.

  11. Enable Screen Capture Protection Not Working

    See Case # 12096880 (Entered on 6/16/20)

    The below Bug report was submitted BY THE AOL TECH.

    “Unable to check/uncheck "Enable Screen Capture Protection". Basic troubleshooting was performed already by AOL Tech. Before TS, the box was unchecked, but after TS, the box was automatically checked & it's not letting us uncheck it. Did hit INSTALL button as well but it's not doing anything.”

    I called on 6/24/20 to get an update, since the above issue was not fixed. And, that call-back was one of the worst I’ve experienced in my 23 years of using AOL as a paid member.

  13. Pictures come as attachment and none in the mail

    Now when I get pictures in the mail they are not in the email to see. Everyone now needs to be downloaded and you can't see them if five are sent that's five times I must click on each picture and download it where before you could do all five and you could view the picture in the email before saving them. This needs to be fixed!!! you have made Aol a nightmare to have and I am going to look for another server instead of wasting my money with you!!!!!

  14. news

    Seattle mayor says it would be illegal for Trump to send military to city to stop riots. This ******** mayor would rather see the city burn and people get killed and lose their business before she would ask a Republican for anything. The Democrats are brain dead *********...take it to the bank, they will ruin this country if given the chance.

  16. Harassment by aol member with racist, profanity and personal hate laden posts.

    *************** is a aol gold member who is continually harassing our chat room experiences and has done so for many years now. It uses new names consistently. I can only assume its because it gets shut down by aol and then has to create a new name. This user stalks us by following us to other aol chat rooms. It continually uses racist rants, profanity laden posts in the aol chat rooms, specifically (special interests craft and garden chat) There are several other aol members who follow this hateful persons lead. I will list them at the bottom of this…

  18. BETA 2561... Attempts to DELETE/REPORT SPAM on an email DO NOT ALWAYS WORK..

    After installing this update, I cannot always get an email to be deleted.
    Both the DELETE button at bottom and the right-mouse drop-down delete FAIL. ALSO REPORT SPAM does not work
    After many attempts last night, two files finally disappeared minutes later.
    Right now, It won't DELETE OR MOVE TO SPAM no matter what I try
