  1. Complaint

    COMPLAINT: Morons... Site says tech support 24x7, but try to get through (at 10:15 PM Pacific??) Also, when trying to reset forgotten password, the site won't accept anything that is remotely close to last or other computer used password, and AOL plays God saying "too short, try again."

  2. Make this more stable. Since aol gold has come out I have had to reinstall it 5 or 6 times now. It keeps messing up and not loading.

    Make this more stable. Since aol gold has come out I have had to reinstall it 5 or 6 times now. It keeps messing up and not loading. The old aol was much better than this.

  3. AOL DESKTOP GOLD

    I randomly experience the inability to log on. Also my version of AOL Gold does not get updated or that I have been so advised.
    know where to check for current version of AOL Gold would be helpful

    Being self employed creates enormous issues when the anomolies occur

  4. There is too much verifying backup up addresses.

    Stop all this verifying a backup address. Every week i get this notice to verify the backup addresses and phone number. And frequently you want to send me a verify code on another address that I am not signed in on so a pain to get that code. Maybe every six months you can verify but no more often.

  6. At nite time I clear all my "Recently Deleted" files folder. The next morning, I find 2 to 6 valid new emails now in my "Recently Deleted"

    At nite time I clear all my "Recently Deleted" files folder.

    The next morning, I find 2 to 6 valid new emails now in my "Recently Deleted" folder. Why?

    Sometimes, all of the nite time deleted files are also now included in the next morning of my "Recently Deleted" folder. Why?

  7. AOL Defects

    Your software defects should be fixed!
    (1) E-mails saved on my PC should be in a file accessible by non AOLr program tools to allow file recovery if possible in case of file or folder damage.
    (2) Folders now missing due to damage from outside events should be enabled to be deleted by AOL to enable the same name to be reused, now blocked forever.
    (3) AOL should be stopped from automatically and arbitrarily diverting incoming messages to the SPAM folder. This should only be under control of the user.
    (4) Starting AOL for the first time each day takes…

  8. When I copy and try to paste a second image, it will paste the first or previous image instead. Please fix this! It's very frustrating!

    I have to shut down and restart in order to paste the current image I want to paste. It pastes the previous image instead of the current copied image. I've sent feedback about this problem before, but it has not been fixed. Are you listening, AOL Gold?

  9. Security question answer should never display in clear text

    When recently signing onto AOL Desktop Gold with one of my secondary screen names, I received a pop-up that stated there was "unusual account" activity and it required the answer to my security question. When I typed that in, it displayed that answer in "clear text" when in fact it should never display a security answer in clear text.

  11. probems with aol tech fortress

    Your Tech Mary said she was going to connect me to Billing. I told her I thought they were closed tonight but she said I could reach someone by requesting “get live help.” That did not work out.

    I have had five problems so far with your app AOL TECH FORTRESS over the three days that your AOLtech convinced me to give it a try. I want it removed ASAP and I should not be charged for it.

    Problem #! I neeedd to get on an educational website for a school project. AOL TECH FORTRESS would not allow it. It…

  13. AOL Gold is a routine disaster, cannot Fwd emails many days, Address book shows triple for each group.

    AOL Gold is a routing disaster for my wife and me. Many days, it will not Fwd any emails, right now my address book shows triple for the various groups, 2 of the 3 are blank!
    I have been an AOL used since was back in the 1990's. I do not want to change to another server, but about read to. Now we are paying over $5 per month and getting continual frustration what, if anything is being done to make things work right like they used to, when it was a free service?

  14. Return to 9.8.2 or create a NEW AOL

    AOL GOLD HAS NEVER worked out well - is in "Not Responding" mode always, wasting precious time for users plus many other negative modes that are of no service to users - AOL needs to get rid of AOL Gold & create a new system OR return to any of the old systems, which always worked out fine... thank you

  15. I don't like this new Desktop version. It is NOT AOL!

    I wake up this morning and my Desktop is now nothing like I'm use to. I do not like it. How can I use the OLD one where I can click on a story or just pass it by. Why has it changed? I don't know how to use this. Is this what other browsers look like? It's one of the reasons why I still use AOL. Would I have to find an earlier version?

  19. Terrible service and connectivity

    Why can you not keep the chat rooms up and running. Paying for this service has seem to make it worse. I have not been able to sign into chat rooms for 2 days now. Why is Gold so horrible and unstable? Can you even answer this? The chat rooms just keep loading and loading and loading, not one is available. I have been an aol subscriber for 20 years and have never had this kind of experience on here as I have had since it became AOL GOLD...more like fool"s gold

  20. Malware content in your news articles

    Why is it that when I open your 70 news articles in the welcome screen, my virus folder filters out about 25% of these tidbits, saying that they are suspicious etc...you should be scanning these first before they get to us. as we should trust you with non-virulent ads/news. Do you agree?
