Need to bring back the Fonts & Emoticons that were available on previous AOL versions.
The emoticons on AOL Gold are useless. Please bring back the previous ones that were available on older AOL versions. Also, there needs to be many other choices for fonts. Some of the most commonly used ones are no longer available on AOL Gold.

I have 2 complaints :) about email .....it really would be nice if you could make emails like they were and let us use different FONTS the ones you offer are UGLY! Second, you have said you have returned being able to send email by pressing Ctrl / return.......This does not work!!! After 2yrs of this new AOL ....and all the complaints I see no major changes. It appears you pay more attention to companies that pay to have their irratating ads in the Gold program than you do the members.......

Been Waiting for EMOTICONS for a year now. Originally, sent you a screen Shot as you requested.
Disgusted with AOL after All these years being a member. THE NEW AOL has no interest in Customers or Customer Service. All your effort is directed to advertising, misleading news, and making money. Can get mail at no cost. Why do I keep paying when you don't care. Paul Garvin duknsu@aol.com -

when are the former options from older version of AOL going to be installed? I mean the ability to change colour background in e-mail, download images to a file from mail, Older smiley's. All the old fonts. The celebrity voices to "Welcome," "You've Got Mail," etc
I expect to receive an answer via e-mail from AOL to these questions. All of these things were supposed to be ready for use last December. -

make it where you can save your font style in chats so when you leave one and enter another you dont have to keep resetting it.

There is a lot of anger here from the respondents. You are totally unresponsive. How many people are thinking of dumping aol after 20 years??? I am one of an exponential number. How sad to have your eulogy be :"You used to be so great!!!!" ........and it WILL be a eulogy.

You promised to add more fonts a long time ago. Choices here are graceless, and without personality. More please. Bring back Eurostile! -

TOM, FIRST of all
THANK YOU, SO VERY MUCH for YOUR COMMENTS
I TOTALLY AGREE with you
YOU ECHOED EVERYTHING that I HAVE BEEN WANTING to say to AOL
EVER SINCE THEY FIRST ROLLED OUT,
THIS TOTAL,FECKLESS and UNMITIGATED DISASTER that THEY HAVE ERRONEOUSLY LABELLED
AOL DESKTOP*GOLD*
"GOLD"
IT IS *NOT*
"LEAD" is MORE LIKE IT
WITHOUT GETTING ALL OF THE "BUGS" *IRONED OUT, *FIRST*ALSO
to AOL
#1 IF IT AIN't BROKE
DON't FIX it
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG w/ OUR BELOVED AOL 9.8.2
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO AND MESS IT UP for ALL of us
#2 WHY DIDNt YOU GET ALL OF THE "BUGS" IRONED OUT
INSTEAD OF USING *US* (your LONGTIME,LOYAL & FAITHFUL (PAYING) AOL Customers
as GUINEA PIGS for YOUR STUPID BETA TESTING
OR, WHATEVER U call this MESS that U UNCEREMONIOUSLY DUMPED on us
BEFORE YOU SPRUNG THIS WORTHLESS & PRIMITIVE GARBAGE on us
AND
YES
I use the word
"PRIMITIVE"
ADVISEDLY
AND
I SEE
I am NOT THE ONLY Customer who has used it
WE NEED U to BRING BACK OUR AOL EXACTLY the way it USED to be
with OUR BELOVED "EXPRESSIONS" ("STATIONERIES") that WE USED TO BE ABLE TO APPLY WITH ONE CLICK to the backgrounds of our e-mails
BTW
THEY WERE ARTISTIC, CREATIVE,WHIMSICAL, and PROFESSIONAL looking
BTW
THEY TOOK UP THE ENTIRE PAGE, NOT JUST PART of the page
OUR BIRDS
FLOWERS
RAINBOWS
ANGELS
MUSICAL NOTES
SHEET MUSIC
PIANO KEYS
Et Cetera, Et Cetera
I ALSO want to say, THAT:
I, MYSELF
am NOT a WOMAN, HAPPY, WITH CHANGE
(as I SUSPECT, MOST OF YOUR OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE NOT, EITHER
WE LIKE THINGS
THE WAY THEY WERE
ESPECIALLY, IF THEY WERE NOT BROKEN, to BEGIN with
BTW
HOW MANY *FAVOURABLE* comments, have you received, ON YOUR "COCKAMAMIE" "GOLD"
and HOW MANY *UN-FAVOURABLE* comments, have you received on it
I HAVE READ ALL OF THE COMMENTS TO DATE Wednesday 4/4/2018
SO
I REST MY CASE
WE (ALL) WANT IT (ALL) BACK
"LOCK, STOCK, AND BARREL"
EXACTLY THE WAY that it USED TO BE
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUR BELOVED AOL 9.8.2 to say NOTHING OF, ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF AOL (back to *7*) AWAY from us
WHY COULDNt YOU HAVE JUST LEFT "WELL ENOUGH, ALONE"
TO CONTINUE
WE ALSO MISS ALL OF THE LITTLE "EmotiCons", DIRECTLY ON THE WriteMail TOOL-BAR
WE AOL CUSTOMERS ARE NOT CHILDREN, I, MYSELF go back with U, ALMOST 15 yrs
and I have read Comments from OTHER AOL Customers who have been with U for OVER 20 yrs
SO, YOU CANt PULL THE WOOL OVER OUR EYES
WE (ALL) feel as if we have been
*RIPPED OFF*:
"HI-JACKED":
*DECEIVED*:
*PLAYED* FOR *FOOLS*:
and
"SCAMMED & FLIM-FLAMMED"
WE (ALL) HAVE BEEN WITH YOU for A VERY LONG TIME
AND WE (ALL) RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN QUALITY
AND "DREK" (*GAR-BAZHE" )
BTW
I want to say RIGHT HERE & NOW
I HAVE READ AT LEAST A FEW-HUNDRED COMMENTS
MAYBE MORE
from OTHER AOL CUSTOMERS
BUT I HAVE A VERY *DEEP* FEELING--that I (WE) SPEAK FOR MILLIONS OF OTHER AOL CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE ALSO been with U for A VERY LONG TIME, AND, for WHATEVER REASONS that they have
HAVE ELECTED to NOT TAKE
"PEN TO PAPER"
OR, "FINGERS, TO KEY-BOARD"
BUT, PERHAPS
IF YOU CONTINUE THIS *INFERIOR* SERVICE
(IN TIME)
THEY WILL DECIDE to
NOT ONLY THAT
THEY WILL (AS I AM *THINKING* of doing)
DECIDE TO LOOK ELSEWHERE for their ISP's
TO CONTINUE:
WE (SOME of us, anyway)
ARE "SENIOR CITIZENS"
BUT, WE ARE *NOT*:
1:*BLIND*
OR
2:**********.
DONt PATRONIZE US, OR INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE and TRY TO CONVINCE US that THIS "MESS" IS *BETTER* than ANY PREVIOUS VERSION, OF OUR AOL ESPECIALLY, OUR BELOVED 9.8.2
THE BEST, EVER
BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW BETTER
IT IS *NOT*
TO CONTINUE
WE can RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE, IN THE SIZE, QUALITY & NUMBER of THOSE (PATHETIC, ANEMIC) "EmotiCons" that you have, NOW--as opposed to the way that they USED to be within the last *10* (OR SO) yrs
AS WELL AS, ALL OF THE DIFFERENT COLORS, FOR THE THE FONT & BACKGROUND
BTW, I WANT THE BACKGROUND COLOR to FILL UP THE ENTIRE PAGE, LIKE IT USED to do
NOT JUST LINE BY LINE as they do, in "HOT-MAIL" & "YAHOO"
(*PRIMITIVE* & *CHILDISH*
I feel as if I am back in GRADE SCHOOL it LOOKS SO TACKY
And THE PLAIN WHITE back-ground IS SO BORING
ALSO
BRING BACK THE FEATURE THAT SUPPORTED *3rdParty Apps*
LIKE THE *OLD* "Smiley-Central" that HAD OVER 10,000(REALLY COOL WHIMSICAL and FUNNY) EmotiCons
AS WELL AS THE APP' FROM "IncrediMail"
I am talking abut, THE ONE THAT HAD THE BUTLER "JEEVES"
DELIVERING THE MAIL and SAYING
"YOUR MAIL, Sir"
ASAP
OTHERWISE, WE (YOUR LOYAL, FAITHFUL
LONGTIME
BREAD AND BUTTER Customers will be FORCED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR ALTERNATIVE ISPs -

We need the smiley's with choices- the ones we have now are ugly and there is no choice like before. BEFORE we had all these cute smileys to pick from.

NOW- THIS IS THE UGLY SMILEY WE GET: ? NO OTHER CHOICES -
