    A O L has now made it impossible for me to open a story on mostly any e mail I receive. This started about three hours ago; I am completely unable to open a story where it says, "Read more or Delete." FOr 25 years now I could ALWAYS open those stories. Tor three hours, now, that ability has stopped. I NEED TO HAVE THAT ABILITY: please reinstate that ability.- it is IMPORTANT to me!

    Memo to AOL

    On Sunday 7/19,
    I called AOL concerning a problem receiving emails. I spoke with Precious. To verify my account and since I have only a landline that does not do text, we had to find another way to verify my account. She found a way and we proceeded. I was concerned about possible hacking of my account and Credit Card. Precious handled everything and cleared problems. She added Malware to my account. She also provided me with some helpful tips. A very positive experience

    On Monday 7/20, I cancelled my Credit Card (which is…

  9. SPAM stuck in SPAM folder

    I posted this a week ago. Got an answer to refresh my email box which I did and indicated in a response that I did. No answer; no fix. Then I posted it as a bug. No answer; no response. Still have the problem but I want some attention paid to this because it is the 3rd time it has happened. I'm tired of it happening...and having to fix it myself only to have it recur again. Clearly a problem with this Desktop Gold software, among many.

  10. How update time zone abbreviations when changing from Standard to Daylight

    Someone please advise why the time designation does not automatically change when Daylight Saving Time begins (as other systems do). AOL not changing from Standard Time abbreviation, i.e. EST to EDT. This happened last year too. The actual time seems to be correct but the abbreviation is not. (A clock is correct once a day but that is no excuse) Is there a way for me to correct? The designation appears on emails.

  11. It seems that forever now, the "email-us" link STILL never is operating

    It seems that STILL, forever, the "email-us" link NEVER works, is operational... ALSO, on the software drop-down, "check for updates" still never works...ALSO, the " computer protection plan, which is supposed to have a $750 per year free maintenance, repair, replace benefit(s), is NO longer free...They nowadays CHARGE a $75 fee to replace, repair computers, monitors and such... Just another rip off, and unfair greedy deal... Doctor Dave Bengard.

  15. 2402 Gold added a NEW 'Write Mail Editor' - that doesn't work

    "Write Mail Editor" Icon came in with the latest Gold update, 2402.

    If clicked, it gives an error msg of:
    Unable to open this Internet Shortcut. The protocol
    "waol-embed" does not have a registered program

    And sure enough, the URL in Properties has:

  17. Games, we want games, not more ads.

    Fix games. Either can't get on or if i do and am playing a game, it stops.
    because something else is loading, Games should be working as they are part of your plan.

  20. Screen going black

    SCREENS CHANGING SIZE AND TURNING BLACK:

    I use Desktop Gold as my primary browser. I log onto Gold with the main AOL Gold strip at the top, and the Welcome screen to my left and then also My Favorites screen on my right. Everything seem OK as long as I continue doing something on the desktop or internet, but as soon as I let it go idle for 10-15 minutes or so, my screen goes to sleep(as I do have it set for that feature) but also I start hearing"bubble" type notification sounds in the background. If and when I…
