  2. Adg security feature is annoying

    I am unable to open different links from some emails because those are recognized to be fishy by Aol Dektop Gold, if I try to go on the web mail and open those links, even thought they a recognized by Malware bytes as being suspicious I can at least open them. since I use adg mostly, it is a very annoying feature, so please allow me to choose if I want to go to a website or not

  5. Dangerous problem that continues to happen!

    I am advising you of a SERIOUS problem that continues to happen. When I'm scrolling through the daily news articles, an article comes up that I'm interested in. I click to open it, and a message appears that "Your computer is infected with a virus and is locked! You must call Microsoft Support to resolve it!" And it gives an 800 number to call. If you call the number, a nefarious agent will start a remote session to take over your computer. However, it is not Microsoft! I've found that this only happens when the lower text of the article…

  6. desktop gold mail composing.

    On Desktop Gold, when trying to write an email, there are no longer manageable margins. in other words, when typing a line in an email, it keeps going beyond the margins of the email, and when one hits "enter" to go to the next line, one loses sight of the cursor completely, with no means of scrolling to the left. There is no justification whatsoever.
    When I spoke to tech support, they are clueless, saying one must go to full page size to write an email. That is not workable.

    Also, the latest update appears to count words. that is…

  7. Cant retrieve old email from trash

    Please let me determine when I want to permanently delete email. I just learned that emails are automatically deleted after a week. When I do a search in trash, all I get is a long list of "me" emails. There are times when I truly need an old email. Your cat assoc. suggested that I save all my emails in a folder. That's not efficient.

  17. Focus Test Feedback for Themes

    I've been testing the new themes in the beta build. Love it so far, but here is one small bug I've found so far:

    1) Changing themes sometimes requires a sign out/back in to apply the desktop background. Buttons, widgets, window colors and controls update no problem.
