Bring back the previous version and remove the Gold to work on until it is ready. We need to have a choice.
. “My Favorites” has real problems, which is the most important to me:
a. I can’t open Favorites that I saved on a different disk with the old version because there is no “open” in “File” at the top left.
b. I can’t edit “My Favorites”. I have tried to correct spelling or to rename a file. One of two things always happens. Either no change is accepted, or the entire file is deleted (I have lost several!!!)
c. I can’t manage “My Favorites” by saving the list somewhere else, etc. PLEASE FIX IT SO THAT I CAN HANDLE “MY FAVORITES” THE WAY THE LAST VERSION ALLOWED ME TO DO SO SIMPLY!!!!!
d. I opened my Favorites, clicked on "Manage" at the bottom, and clicked to save Favorites somewhere else. When I tried to open that it after saving, I got the message that "Windows can't open this file". How do I open the Favorites I saved as instructed by this new "Gold" version?
About this new version: Thanks for nothing!
The option to manually open a Favorites file is not available, but you can append the file to your current list of Favorites. To do this, open the AOL Desktop Gold and sign on, click on Favorites, then Manage at the bottom, and choose Append in order to select the .pfc or .fav file. Also before appending a list of favorites, we recommend saving a back-up of your current list in the event that you need to return to its original state, by clicking on Manage at the bottom and selecting Save on the next page.
The option to edit the favorite places is available, and you can do this by selecting the favorite place and then clicking on the Edit button below. Just remember that the list is organized alphabetically, so you might not find the favorite place in the same location after changing its name. If you are having problems finding your favorite places, please type its name in the Quick Find box at the top of the favorites window.
