I have hundreds of sites in my favorite file. How do I find the last one entered? Why not offer an option AOL Gold in general is a step back to the users. After all of the years I'm going to switch from AOL

favorites - Please eliminate the alphabetic order of the favorites and revert back to the original way which is more logical and efficient.

When saving a website to My Favorite Places can you show name it is saved as - hard to find without this as My Favorites auto alphabetizes

put an option to either alphabetize the favorites (you know, the stupid way your forcing us to use) or leave the old way (you know, the way it used to be and is on google and everything else) Just because your charging us does not mean you need to keep changing things. I like my most used favorites on top where I can get to them without wading through the alphabet, you know, like my bank and stuff. I like my more temporary stuff, like a ebay item or a possible purchase and such on the bottom, I can delete when done. i also like all of my similar topics grouped together for easy access. Let's not give me a lesson in making favorite files, either. This is not a make work program. Others have posted on this topic and AOL responds that they have no plans to change it. Why? You charge us for a more jacked up program than the free one? Swallow your pride, admit your mistake, and fix this stupid blunder.

rather than being forced by AOL Gold to have everything in alphabetical order, Alphabetical order is not good because oftern the "name" of the favorite has nothing in common with the site name, or is misleading and hard to remember. one example: "Kaiser Permanente" web site is listed under "m", not "K", because it's "name" on AOL
is given as "Member sign-in". This kind of stuff happens frequently, making it hard to remember and find favorites. -

Old format allowed easy organization of Favorite Places by simply clicking on item and moving it to organize Table of Contents. Gold simply places in alphabetical order and loses that ease of organization.

I have now reported this many times, when are you going to fix it?
Previously reported (many times):
When I first started using AOL Gold I was very annoyed that all the favorite places that it supposedly imported from AOL 9.8.2 were all OLD favorite places, and all mixed up. To cut a long story short, after spending an hour on the phone with your tech support person, who logged into my laptop remotely, I was able to get that issue fixed. Now, several months later all of a sudden all my favorites are all mixed up again. And to make matters worse I can't even reorder them to bring "most used" ones to the top of the list because the reordering feature no longer appears to work. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!
Update:
I just bought a new laptop, installed AOL Gold, imported my favorite places from AOL 9.8.2 and everything was OK, I thought great, they fixed it. Then I logged out and logged back in and all the favorite places had once again reverted to VERY old ones that included hundreds that I had previously deleted and hundreds of newer ones that are now gone! Apparently you keep replacing the favorites folder with some VERY OLD VERSION that is stored somewhere on AOL's server. And furthermore you've change the favorites folder to list all favorites alphabetically. Don't you realize how useless that is? I had hundreds of favorite places (I've been using AOL since 1984) arranged in various folders, and I sorted them to have the most used ones at the top. Surely you must realize that's the way everyone would use this. It is totally useless to sort them alphabetically so that something beginning with A is at the top even if it is rarely used.
PLEASE FIX BOTH THESE BUGS! But the most important BUG you need to fix is that it keeps replacing an imported favorites folder with an old one from the AOL server. -

I CAN'T CLICK AND DRAG ANY OF MY FAVORITES AND GROUP THEM. THEY ARE LISTED ALPHABETICALLY. WHEN I ADD A NEW FAVORITE, IT'S HARD TO LOCATE IT AS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS APPEAR IN THE ALPHABETICAL ORDER THAT I WOULD THINK IT SHOULD APPEAR. BEFORE A NEW FAVORITE WAS EASY TO FIND AND I COULD THEN GROUP THEM INTO THE CATEGORIES THAT I CHOSE. LOGGING ON IS SLOWER AND I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING

I had spent decades building dozens of categories on favorites with many dozens of websites within each category. Gold stupidly took my favorites apart and made every website alphabetical, ignoring the categories. Once I switched to gmail I got loads of comments from people saying messages to aol had rejected. I had stayed ten years or more on aol in order not to change email address and not to lose all of my favorite places. Many FPs simply disappeared. Oath had aol commit suicide. How sad and how stupid.
