I spent 45 minutes on hold with two different people. The first just referred me to another who while trying to help me, dropped the call.
Hire people that know your software. The person in tech support did not know that your company has stopped separating emails from people in my address book and everyone else. So now, many of my important emails are going to the spam folder.

I am so tired of the CefSharp.browser.subporcess.exe. It continues to tie up my CPU with huge memory use.
I hate aol s use of cefsharp.browser supprocess.exe. It ties up huge portion of my CPU in ways that stalls my computer. I called the help desk and they are helpless to do anything. If it continues I am considering dropping aol after all these years. The really needs fixing. Internet explorer does not use this and it works great, better than aol and its free.

Help
Do away with overseas representatives on your help site. They are in a tight small office or home. The back ground noise drowns out the conversation. The accent is terrible. They do not know what to do. They can not confirm they are actually AOL.

under romance and 60 and over there is a chatter issue201911 that cusses and breaks the AOL gold rules and have been reported many times
Issue201911 has been reported over and over and over for his nasty comments and talking about having *** with peoples dead mothers. Please do something about this man he still has his account
Thanks for reaching out about your experience.
If you are having an issue within a game chat, please review the following guidelines:
1. Ignore them. People feed off of your reaction. If we ignore them they won’t get the rush they need and they’ll go away.
2. Use the Flag feature in chat. Hover over the right of the comment where the 3 dots in a line are, then click the flag and submit the report.
Your comments are important to us, please reach out for any further assistance. -
common courtesy
Lets have a little courtesy when on chat, yes you may be busy Arthur S but I waited to talk to you and did not get the complete information and when I asked to wait you cut me off Extremely rude an unprofessional for a paying customer. I think you should wait until the customer is satisfied with the help you have suggested and to make sure the customer is satisfied
It might be a good idea to hire a few more people to help in the chat sessions instead of being so rude and unhelpful to your customersWe’re sorry to hear about your experience.

Why do you CLOSE out comments, in most cases, without telling us what you did to address the problem? or if it's corrected
What do you have in your mind to CLOSE out comments, in most cases, without telling us what you did to address the problem and what you have found is the solution. AOL needs to take responsibility for the #$% Gold software that you KNOW isn't properly working. Your tech support has no support from YOU and thus can't answer or fix problems. It's not the tech person's fault but they are the one's who get the brunt for your poorly designed and disintegrating "service" and software. I'm paying for the service for the last years and Gold just keeps…

Getting blue bar when trying to correct words that deletes the following words
When I'm typing and make a mistake, I go back to correct it and I get a BLUE bar, that deletes letters on the next word. I have to change positions, correct the misspelling and then put it back in place. That happens with no warning. And it happens, no all the time, but a lot of times.
In order to disable the overtype mode, press the Insert key on your keyboard, then you can please the cursor behind the word you want to delete.

Can't find where to adjust (or stop) auto sign off. When I TRIED to get an answer from chat, I was told to reinstall the entire program!!
I want more time before auto sign off. All info is for OLD AOL not Gold. Chat agent told me to just reinstall the entire program. How does that show me where to locate the option to adjust sign off time? When I asked during the chat, he just left me hanging and quit chatting. And I get to PAY for this great service??!!!
The AOL Desktop Gold does not have a auto sign off feature, but it is possible for the software to sign off if the computer goes into sleep mode. We recommend adjusting the power and sleep settings on your system, by following the steps in the article below, in order to prevent the AOL Desktop Gold from signing you off.
