  1. Terms Of Service seems to be selective in AOL Chatrooms

    AOL reestablished the use of REPORT in their chatrooms...and this sometimes results in a chatroom member losing their screen name for repeated violations...HOWEVER, not all TOS violators wind up losing their screen names and are bullying and harrassing other chatroom members in this one particular chatroom -- ROMANCE 60s PLUS LOVE -- several of the regular members brag that they are "protected" and will nevah lose their screen names while some trying to be honest and forthright lose screen names right and left....ARE THERE PROTECTED MEMBERS IN THE CHATROOMS AND IF SO WHY IS THAT SO? DID NOT THINK AOL…

  2. How do I stop what I think is IN THE KNOW by AOL-- a new, very annoying and impossible to stop series of unending videos.

    Put some way to stop and preferably kill IN THE KNOW which is just below the main AOL rotating items. It has no "X" to stop and kill it. Even with sound off, the on going series of videos is very, very distracting. My quick fix was to drag up the bottom of the screen. My long term fix may be go kill AOL and go elsewhere

  3. Enable chat rooms to allow for URL's

    Most chat rooms allow for links to be input. NOT AOL! Please upgrade AOL chat to allow for links like most modern day social media chat rooms do.

  5. Desk Top Icon

    Do not want Icon on DESK TOP SCREEN since I have it on the TASK BAR. But I am constantly having to put same in the TRASH BIN, because AOL puts it on the DESK TOP every time there is an UPDATE. I can see the need once AOL is installed, but after that is annoying.

  6. Calendar Look Back

    Calendar Only allows a 2-1/2 year look back on a rolling basis.

    How about at least 5 yrs ? 10 yr look back even better.

  7. Worse Journalism!

    Regarding your article on "Historical Figures that do not exist"
    There are multiple sources besides the Holy Bible that show Jesus Christ was a real person who existed. First of all, each section of the New Testament Bible is written by different authors who all agree in differing writings that Christ existed. 3 were His apostles (Peter, Matthew, John), one was a Roman Pharisee that hated those who followed Christ until his conversion (Paul), one was a physician (Luke), one was a young boy when he first met Christ (Mark); Other sources included Roman historical documents, Jewish documents and multiple…

  11. censorship in chatrooms

    Please explain your rationale (if any) for chatroom censorship.

    You cannot type the name of N. Korea's President, or the title of Cher's 1971 hit "Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves". You can't mention how many puppies were born in a litter. You cannot type the name of the star of the **** Van Dyke Show.

    There are dozens of other things where one gets the "violates our standards" message, many times for utterly innocuous things.

  12. ADG

    Technical Support instructed me to identify my problem to this address.
    My emails are being downloaded to the wrong folder and I was told by
    Don, a supervisor, that the engineering department would have to change to the correct folder.

  13. Be correct.

    Chicago got it's nickname of the "windy city" from the hot air the politicians blew, not from the air wind.

  14. Trivia Today questions and answers - answers aren't always accurate.

    Today's question on Trivia Today asked how many stomachs a cow has. A cow has only one stomach (which was my correct answer) but it is divided into four compartments. It does not have four stomachs which was the answer that was deemed correct. More care should be taken in this regard to make sure that the answer that is deemed correct is, in fact, correct. In this case it was not.

  16. Check out your advertisement and advertizers

    Please don't accept advertising from "Just Fashion Now". They are a scam outfit. Check the negative reviews And get a sense of how truly dreadful the company is...continuing to carry prominent ads from this company leaves AOL and legitimate advertising less credible.
