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.

Don't know where to start because all of my improvement suggestions are from AOL 9.8.2. The emphasis here is ALL suggestions. There is NOTHING about the AOL Desktop Gold that has been improved, absolutely NOTHING. One might say: "Regression on Steroids Personified with Godspeed".

This version is awful. Very slow, buggy, not as many features, tons of ads...May be cancelling soon after 20+ years...

Desktop Gold lacks many of the features of earlier versions and has nothing to recommend it. It was "not ready for prime time" when AOL forced users to switch to it.

I just found out that we have been paying $23.95 / month for YEARS but we did not have to do so!
Long ago, it apparently was a fee for service, and included (for some subscribers?) their internet connection.The paid version includes discounts on various tech related company offers (McAffee / LifeLock / Computer Tuneup etc.,...)
You do not have to pay for the AOL software!

Icons too large on toolbar. Toolbar too large. Cannot resize the windows or reduce size to coordinate with laptop smaller screen or resolution!
Can't even see full pages and no way to reduce.Why two steps to sign in?
The list is longer than this but there are other posts...

The top menu and all the icons are a far cry from the technology used in most applications today. They are antiquated. I thought going to AOL Gold was going to be a step in upgraded technology. Instead, we've all taken a step backwards! I am so disappointed in this lame upgrade! AOL, please save money trying to fix the bugs and give us back 9.8.2.

I am a paying customer. I'll pay an extra dollar for AOL 8.2.2

I highly doubt that AOL had any customer input when developing AOL Gold. It's all about how the coders want the software to work. Who cares about the paying customers! All good features AOL had on 9.8.2 were left out. Why didn't AOL put Gold in a BETA and allow people to use it and provide feedback from their customers. Letting the customers test drive it would have been far better than pushing out a premature delivery resulting in customer dissatisfaction.

Worst software delivery ever! These coders can't even sort the member list in chat. They created an issue going from 36 chatters (with a sorted member list) to over a 100 with no sort on the member list. Are you kidding? how stupid was that?
