  1. Omarosa

    The fact that AOL would waste everyone's time with **** about this *-* woman is insulting. The AOL membership and readership has gone down the toilet if this is what you think we are interested in. AOL sucks.

  2. MANY PEOPLE CONSIDER AOL TO BE A VIRUS UNTO ITSELF!

    EVER TRY TO GET AOL OFF YOUR COMPUTER? NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. IT VIRTUALLY TAKES A COMPLETE ERASING AND CLEARING OF YOUR HARD DRIVE AND RELOADING WINDOWS OR MAC PROGRAM, ITS THAT DEEP INTO YOUR SYSTEM. MOST PEOPLE I TALK TO LAUGH ABOUT AOL AND CONSIDER IT JUNK AND THE ABSOLUTE WORST PROGRAM OUT THERE. YET, AOL CHARGES FOR SPAMMING US WITH ADS, POPUPS, CYBER AND BANDWIDTH CLUTTER. AOL IS WIDELY CONSIDERED A JOKE AND A PROGRAM FOR SENIORS. AOL ROUTINELY CRASHES AND LOCKS UP YOUR COMPUTER. IT REALLY IS DREADFUL.

  5. OK. So OATH bought you out.

    Since OATH bought you, new terms and agreement popped up on sign in. OK. After agreeing to terms, why does it keep popping up every time you go to sign in? Once should be enough. Petty, I know, but irritating. Just like the three step process to sign in. No wonder people keep leaving this service. I'm darn close to it.

  7. AOL GOLD IS A SAD MESS....

    ....THE REALLY SAD THING IS THAT THE AOL TECHS DON'T REALLY SEEM TO GIVE A ****. THEY ARE MOSTLY YES MEN WHO JUST WANT TO KEEP RECEIVING A PAYCHECK. SORRY, BUT THAT IS WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE. IF i'M WRONG, THEN WHY DON'T THEY FIX THE HUGE PROBLEMS WHICH HAVE EXISTED SINCE THE "OATH" TAKE-OVER?

  9. Feedback re: Gold "look"

    Change the "look" from childish and whimsical to neat and professional. The former style met my expectations, The "Gold" version is not eye-friendly at all.

  11. Bad, Bad, Bad

    AOL has gone so far down the tubes I'm not sure they can ever get it back to where it was. It's a total mess. What a shame.

  12. Open in new window

    I really HATE that I can't right click on a link and select "OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW" instead of only a new TAB in the current window. GOLD is a gold plated piece of ****. CAN WE PLEASE HAVE 9.2 BACK?

  14. I really think your tech people don't know how to fix AOL GOLD. If they did it would not take to long to correct its many issues.

  15. New Ravel

    New Ravel is not 'News' as you have categorized it in the Welcome section. It is click bait. Please categorize it as such.

  17. In reviewing your complaints, the problem is obvious. AOL's executive management will not admit it has one.

    While AOL "news" seems only interested in progressive views, and why it purchased the Huffington Post, (not unlike Slate, DailyKOS, MoveOn with objectives not unlike Cloward and Piven), it has not paid attention to its bottom line.

    That is AOL is an ISP. In others words a place where I can immediately get online to the Internet.

    Having been with AOL well over 15 years, its AOL Gold is not Gold but the color of rust. While AOL's CEO has focused on being sure progressive news is spread through out its millions of members, he obviously has not spent the…

  19. Why can subscribers by the paid benefits for at least 30% less from the software companies direct then what AOL charges?

    Go online and you can buy Super Anti Spyware, Professional Edition for $19.95 which is 50% less then your fee of $3.99 a month. You can save at least 30% on all the other so called paid benefits. You call these benefits? How can you keep a straight face?
