  4. favorites

    Making the Favorites drop down box a part of the existing tab was a huge mistake. Now when I have a tab open, and then want to look at a Favorite it cuts down the size of the original tab. The Favorite tab grabs 1/3 of my screen and I cannot close it without closing the original tab too. Who comes up with these changes that make things worse????

  5. Build .3584 with Favorites attached to browser is absolutely horrible.

    I do a lot of work with Forums. If I open my Favs to look for a link to post as part of an answer on that Forum I do NOT want my Favs to attach to
    that browser window I have open.

  8. Toolbar Programs Won't Stay Signed In

    Up until a few days ago, the favorites I have in my top toolbar would stay signed in. Now, every day, or every time I exit and come back into AOL, I have to sign back in to programs/sites like Amazon, Twitter, YouTube...even AOL Weather!

    I contacted the help chat, and they said to clear my footprints. Well, that didn't work. I've had this happen before, and it was just a matter of making an adjustment in an option somewhere.

    I've looked around and can't find what I need to change. I thought maybe it had something to do with…

  10. Make it possible for users to print out a website address list of My Favorites

    Please provide a way for an AOL user to print out the website addresses of all their Favorites. If I could have printed my Favorites I would have an easy reference now that installing AOL on a new computer did not populate my Favorites and to make it worse, I can't put any favorites in My Favorites on the "new" AOL installation.

  12. Remove from "MY" Favorites- Chat Rooms, AOL Bennefits and AOL Premium Services. At least give us the option

    Option to delete AOL Premium Services, AOL My Benefits, and Chat Rooms. These are NOT "MY FAVORITES."

  17. Audio confirmation when saving a web site to Favorite Places.

    I liked a feature on the old AOL software that gave you an Audio confirmation when you saved a website to a Favorite place folder. Very similar to now (on Gold) when I save an email to a folder on my "PC" you get an Audio sound plus a pop up box confirming the action. I don't need a pop up box but would like an Audio confirmation of my action.

  18. celebrities

    You jerks are obsessed with following celebrities around and taking pictures of their clothes falling off. If they are not falling off, you make a big deal about how you can see through them. Are you all perverts at AOL?

  20. NEW **** YOU PUT IN FAVORITES

    Remove 'aol premium, benefits and chatroom' I have no use for them there, I know how to find them, and you don't even give us the option to remove them or lower them to the bottom where I don't have them blocking my important things saved. GET RID OF THEM. Also remove the 'alpha listing in favorites and let us choose the sequence of how we want our lists by sliding them up or down LIKE WE ALWAYS HAD BEFORE ****** AOL GOLD.
