HOME PAGE
I have mentioned several times about not being able to use the local news and information for my location on the home page andof course nothing. It tells me everyday nothing to report. It has for several years been able yo.
Sometimes, when you see incorrect local information (such as the news or weather for a different location) on your Welcome Screen, you may want to verify your location is correct. This can be done by making sure your correct City, State is in the top left of your Welcome Screen.
If it is not, please click “Update Your Location” under Local News and Weather, enter your Zip Code and press Save.
If this does not work, please clear the footprints in the software and try again.
Then try adding your Zip Code again.
We hope these suggestions will fix your issue.
If you need further assistance, please call the AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733.

When clicking on the UK news, it shows up as AOL UK in my browser. I live in the United States and have cleared my browser and reset my account to United States and get still UK news from AOL GOLD

There is no reason for an article from Watertown South Dakota to be shown as Local News for Watertown Ct . . . except if you don't know what you are doing . . .

This is getting ridiculous. I've complained for several weeks about getting my Local News on the desktop Welcome Page from Youngstown, OH. I live in MI. My Zip Code is set and saved.
Today I'm getting Hampton Roads, VA and NE North Carollina news. You're going the wrong **** way!
Compounding the issue is that I can't even drop my Zip Code so I get nothing, which is preferable to something from 100's of miles away. Fix it or let me pull my Zip Code. -

Why do I get daily stories under Local News from a paper in Ohio when I'm in TN?

This is what I see when I sign in and it is very frustrating to say the least. I pay for this and I should be able to see my local news feed.
No local news available

I log on to Spring Hill, KS local news and I get information about Nebraska U and U of Wisconsin, rather than Kansas U and Kansas State U and other local schools. Why is that occurring? You do have some Spring Hill, KS local information so there is a screening process of some nature occurring. Please fix these irritating news items if you can.

If you're not going o have *** Dee news in your "Local" space, why not quit the 100% South Carolina low-country news and put in an entire statewide news update. Seeing stories about Bamberg School Board is a waste of time and space for people in Florence, Lake City, Marion, Darlington, etc. Check your maps.
