Tell us how we can improve your AOL Desktop Gold experience.

← AOL Desktop Gold

Give us back the 9.8 features in Gold

Bring back desktop themes, stationery and emojis for mail, allow us to set up Favorites like we want them, make icons for toolbar available. Most of the time when I'm typing a e-mail, the type doesn't keep up with me and thus missing letters or words. Give us back all the features of 9.8 because Gold is seriously lacking most everything.

    Corrections:
    Gold AOL is awful.
    Dragging an email into MY FILES to put into my personal My Orders file - the whole section moves wildly back and forth and you have to catch the file you want to put the file into.

    When I'm reading the headline articles, three times this week the computer froze. Insane!

    Godl is awful.. It's slowed down my computer. If you want to drag an email into MY File, let's say an order, the icons flitter wildly back and forth. What in the world is that????,

    With 9.82 is you wanted to locate the emails from and to a person, they all came up in Search Mail. Now, you have to Quick Find in either the Inbox, New, Old and Sent mail separately. What in the world is that????

    1. Please add Verdana to the list of email fonts. It's my favorite, and it seems to have disappeared when AOL Desktop Gold came out.

    2. I know that AOL Gold has improved security provisions, but it would have been great if you retained all other features of the previous system. There was no reason to change them. They worked great and we all got used to them. Gold is different (and poor) in too many ways. Ya shouldn't have done it. Not all so-called "progress improvements" and "upgrading" are good. Just being honest.

    Former version was better than Gold.

    Please bring back the Desktop Version or I will cancel my AOL GOLD

  • Valerie Brice commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bring back the emoticons just like from the previous version of AOL Desktop.

  • Cora M Fellenstein commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree. the stuff on Gold is hogwash. I am a PAYING customer, so why do I HAVE to wade through ads to read my email, read aol news or anything else. I thought by paying for all these 20+ years I should be able to access this without additional ads. I am truly disappointed in my AOL.

    In the middle of typing an Email and it simply stops printing. Lookup and the last half of a sentence I typed isn't there. Put cursor at the end of letters, start to type, fine.

    Several long term sites suddenly don't recognize password. Have to reset them.

    This whole GOLD thing was a disaster from day 1 and no one seems to care but the poor users. :(

    I have used Photo Gallery for a very long time. I can't now. Plus I don't like how the photos are set up now.

    I have edited my address book several times over several days but it doesn't remember the changes when saved?.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The address book is not remembering changes to Primary mail or other mail edits when saved,

  • ROBERTA PALSA commented  ·   ·  Report

    This version is launching/loading faster, and I can access my email *most* of the time. Still looking for ability to switch screen names and see if there's unread mail BEFORE I switch though.

    I am ready to leave AOL. Gold really has too many problems to work out. Who ever thought they could sell this needs a different job.

    After I post about 10 comments all of the sudden there is a delay in my typing in the response box. I type and it take 30-60 seconds until the text shows up. I thought it was my computer buy I have experienced this on 3 of my computers that are in different residences and have different internet providers. It seems that AOL is deliberately slowing me down and I have AOL DeskTop Gold and pay the monthly fee.

    Is AOL doing the same thing that Apple was doing with the iPhone and slowing us down?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    About had it AOL Gold. Please fix it, just give us back the great AOL that we had. I can't stand to even get on my account any more. If I did not have so much saved< i would delete it asap. No sense paying out of the ying yang each month when it simply does not work. It is very difficult to do simply read your emails.

    It was much, much, much, much, better when it was free! who is working on the "new" software? Kindergarten kids on a lunch brake?

    AOL GOLD is an inferior product that is NOT reliable. I cannot continue long hold times for tech support every time something else in your software isn't functioning. I have been an AOL user for 23 years, through many software updates over these years. AOL GOLD is an absolute horror, and as soon as I can make other plans, I will no longer be subjected to
    this undependable mess that you have unleashed on us, without our consent, I might add.
    Who is in charge??? The person, wherever the buck stops, deserves to lose their job over this. And I am PAYING for this??? Not for much longer!!!

    Also I can't Edit My Account to change My Credit Card Status. Every time I click on the My Account Button it goes to the OOPS! Pages. What the hack is that! It tell me to try back later. WOW! I have try 16 TIMES! So you will not get Pay for February.
