  3. AOL Browser problems

    AOL Browser problems are enough to make a preacher's wife cuss, and I should know because I was one for 25 years! Talk about testing my patience!!! Here goes: 1) Once I click on the aol icon, it takes far too long to get even the first signin screen. 2)Once I enter my password, God only knows what response I'm going to get. So far - today alone - I have signed on, only to have a '118 error - timed out' screen pop up repeatedly. The only way I could close aol was by using the task manager. 3)…

  8. Folks

    Folks - I have complained to you about Desktop Gold since the day I "upgraded" to it. Multiple times. And every single time I've pointed out very specific issues, problems, with Desktop Gold. So have THOUSANDS of others. Yet you do absolutely nothing. How many times do people have to tell you that 9.8.2 was FAR superior to Desktop Gold before you get it? And you often answer, on this page, that the newest Desktop Gold update has the problem fixed...

    Oh really? Well, I have the latest Desktop Gold upgrade (Revision 11.0.2084), and the service is the worst I've…

  11. Your ISP taking too long to open up or not opening at all is becoming a safety issue.

    Your ISP last night would not open, which had been a previous problem that I thought had gone away. So I went up to dinner and came back down and it still hadn't open. This morning I had to send my doctor a message and AOL would still not open. This is becoming a safety issue that I believe your CEO is ignoring with Windows 10.

    AOL has become like our electric company, it is no longer an option when you need it to get to the link to contact your doctor's online service.

    So I did the drill again,…

  12. I sure wish you would hurry up with that update so I would stop getting kicked off line

    I sure wish you would hurry up with that update so I would stop getting kicked off line. I tried the manual upgrade as you suggested. No dice there.

  14. How can you improve AOL Gold? Hard to believe you really care.

    When I type something in the browser and want to copy and paste it somewhere else, I have no option to copy. Why is that? Why would you eliminate that option?

  18. feedback is useless. There are many comments about how bad AOL Gold is working and nothing is ever done to fix it!

    Bring back 9.8.2 and use that as a basis for a new version of AOL. Gold does not work for me. continuously unable to sign on!

  19. Not closing out of Screen name, cannot move to another SN

    I called 5 tech people on Monday, got 5 different answers. I even reinstalled the browser (which has never been the answer in 25 years of using AOL, even tho that is always suggested.
    I can move from one SN to another ONLY once, but the next time I do that, it says goodbye, but the number at the Read Icon stays there and it does not allow me to close out of the SN. I have to close the browser thru Task Manager. This is very annoying as I go back and forth many times a day.
