NEW CALENDAR IS TERRIBLE
Do you want FEEDBACK about the new AOL CALENDAR?? Well here it is... YUK!!! It needs work!!!
(1) Font is too small... because there's so much wasted space. Do we really need a 2 inch header of mostly blank space? And why does the header say AOL MAIL instead of AOL CALENDAR?
(2) Why is "SHOW TO DO's" listed under ACTIONS instead of listed under SETTINGS? When I turn-off "TO DO's" I want them permanently turned off. I DO NOT want to be forced to turn them off every time I use the Calendar... because "TO DO's" wastes about 2…

Allow customers to have the option of the "New and Improved"
I could deal with even Gold but the "New and Improved" version is horrendous! My mobile app no longer holds my contacts. The list is endless. PLEASE offer your customers the option to use the "new and improved" version! First time in all of these years I regret using AOL. Today, my desktop version went back to 2021 with New emails. Had to go to phone to get new emails.

You currently do not have a way to send selective alerts from calendar to cellphones
You currently do not have a way to send selective alerts from my calendar to my cellphones as a txt msg. like what gmail from their calendar has. I would like to see a new field added to the calendar reminder that allows you to select whether the alert for a calendar entry goes to your e-mail address or to your cellphone. High priority items on the calendar I would like to get a text msg to my cellphone

Please allow us to navigate the Desktop Gold while we are printing a document
I sent this in back in November of 2021. The last time the AOL software didn't allow us to navigate (read other emails) while printing something was back in dial-up days. You had it working for years but last year you stopped. Any way to turn the ability back on? You closed my previous email without comment or response.

When you do an update to AOL, PLEASE don't automatically dump us from your site.
Right now, when you do an update, it immediately dumps us out of your service. If someone was into their banking information and making a transfer, they would lose it because you dumped them. Or if they are purchasing something - they wouldn't know if the charge went through or not. Please instead have a window that says "need to restart your AOL" and give us a choice of doing it right now or later.

Allow us to continue reading emails when we are printing something
When I need to print something, your AOL software used to allow us to continue opening and reading emails while the document was printing. In one of the updates to AOL Desktop Gold, you removed that capability so now when a document is printing, we can no longer do anything on-line but wait for the document to finish printing. PLEASE put it back the other way so we can multi-task.

McAfee
I have repeatedly set a scan time only to have McAfee pop up multiple times to say they are scanning. This "benefit" is worthless and should be dumped as they are only interested in selling upgrades, constantly.

HELP!!!!!
HELP on AOL is a joke. Getting help from anyone is impossible. I have literally spent hours on the phone with Customer Service Reps who either were unqualified, or unwilling to help me resolve any problem. I have been a loyal, paying AOL member for decades, and I have been treated unfairly.

blinking ads
The blinking/flashing ads designed to get people to notice them have caused my neighbor's son to be hospitalized. He has the type of epilepsy that is adversely affected by that kind of thing. She has consulted with an attorney to see if it's possible to sue AOL and he thinks there's merit in such a lawsuit. He's currently investigating the possibility of a class action suit but has already filed in her behalf.

Again - - get rid of the background information and cut to the chase!
I wanted to see what Nostradamus had predicted but I would have had to wade through who he was and lord only knows what else before I could get to the predictions. I didn't bother as I can find them elsewhere.

Tech help needs help!
I tried to install a paid version of Gold on a new hard drive. One tech called me and we installed a program to let her do the install. She couldn't and then told me it was due to over 1000 viruses on my computer. Another called me back and tried to get me to pay Microsoft $99 to repair my computer. I'm a tech myself. So I found a link and installed the Gold software myself. I've been with AOL since they were out on floppy for dial-up. Bad advice is not what your Tech people should be putting…

Privacy settings problems AGAIN
I do not turn off my computer - ever! I have set Privacy Settings to allow everyone to see my content, more than six times already. But every time I try to play a game I'm told I have to set my Privacy Settings. I click to ON and it doesn't work. I click to OFF and it doesn't work - I can't play a game. Get rid of this bug because it's INFURIATING!

Toggle to share is RIDICULOUS!
I never know whether to use ON or OFF - and it's a ridiculous idea AOL has anyway. I want to share everything I post and I want to be able to read everything other people post without having to go through manipulations to do what I want. I simply want to play games without having to go through hoops! Get rid of this stupid thing. It's just adding to my frustration with AOL's stupidity.
