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.

    just now I can not even get on AOL and I have been a member for about 25 years, and you give me a message of NO ACCOUNT????????

    Bring Back AOL 9.8.2!
    Trash Gold. You made a mistake. Make it right by ditching Gold and bringing back our old AOL.

    they are beyond useless. they look like emoticons from when AOL first started. kindergarten art. ugh. this is supposed to be the NEW and better version?

  • Robert Derobbio commented  ·   ·  Report

    Mouse functions slowly and sporadically in the AOL windows. Has been a problem for weeks. The mouse works well when aol is opened with chrome

    I absolute HATE Gold. I have more issues with stupid Gold every single day. Thankfully, my work will be moving to Gmail soon so I won't have to put up with all of this. I spend more time correcting AOL issues or waiting to actually be able to do something (eg, open an email, print an email), it's not worth my loss of time

    INTEGRATION is BROKEN on sending attachments - I send time sensitive organizers to 100 clients and need to do them now. After 2 calls to tech support, I find that I have SEVERAL MORE STEPS to send EACH file. 1. Create a temporary file to put client's info in. 2.Go back and save as PDF to File. 3. Go back and Send PDF - E-mail appears (but no file below). 4. Click Attach File and find in maze of file listings. 5. Click and file is attached. 6. Send. ***9.8 STEPS: 1. Click Print, and e-mail is set up, attachment is already below. 2. Send! Which one do you think I prefer, AOL? BIG TIME WASTER! WAKE UP!

    IF I AM READING THIS RIGHT, AOL SAYS THAT AOL ENGINEERS ARE WORKING TO RESOLVING ALL THE *****-UPS THEY DID WITH AOL GOLD? And are bring back most if not all GREAT THINGS we had with 9.8.. Or are they just blowing SMOKE?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree totally - I am furious that those wonderful emoticons and other artwork have vanished. Everyone who saw them on my emails LOVED them - and there were some for almost every occasion. Gold is a nightmare to use, and lacks some of the best features of 9.8.2.

    what happened to our background pics, animations, text colors, background colors? ugh All of it is GONE???

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    favorites automatically alphabetize and sometime you just need at the very bottom, no more extras in mail that are provided by aol ... you have to go find a picture every time you send an email, and much much more. ughhhhhhhhh

    I agree, seems the GOLD is more into the advertisers than in giving its paying customers a barely usable system. Totally down hill since inception. And new problems in the last two days.. Getting unbearable.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Don't understand why I will have to pay monthly for a very flawed system. AOL Gold is overwhelmed by pop-up ads which interfere with my ability to read what I have selected. And you should seriously consider bringing back Instant Messages. I am really thinking of going to another free site.

    Bring back some of the features AOL dropped. Ex: the file upload progress bar and photos in email. Gold is slow and sometimes stop working.More thought and testing should have been done before the release of this software. It is definitely inferior to 9.8. I have used AOL since 1998 and I am not happy with the present build and I am considering using Gmail.

    AOL Desktop worked fine. AOL Gold is erratic, slow, and inconsistent. We were forced to make the change, now we are stuck with AOL Gold. Don't blame my computer...It works fine everywhere else. I can't even type an email without slow and erratic response, even right here.

    What was the thinking in this upgrade? Why did you not tell and prepare the public?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I Shift + Del to permanently delete many emails. That feature is no longer available. It is now a 2-step process. Not good. Thank you. This version is similar in look and feel to the FREE version.
