Download Procedure or Function does not remember the last saved file. One must drill down from OS:C to where my documents are - a real pain

what's new option
Every day, when signing onto aol desktop gold, I click on the what's new icon to see if there is anything new that I should know about. I always like new things, but I would like to know when the next build of aol will be available and what will be included.
At this moment in time, I have no way of knowing when the new build will be available.Let us know when the next build will be available and what will be included. An email would be nice.

Improve aol desktop gold performance
I found a way to improve aol desktop gold performance if you have a mechical hard drive, like I do and are running windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, or 11.
Turn off superfetch. I could be wrong, but it seems like superfetch might be inferring with aol desktop gold although the software still writes to a database file and still has issues. -

Posting feedback or reporting a bug
There should be a way to attach a screenshot when either posting feedback or reporting a bug. It would make things a lot more easier.

aol desktop gold writing to hard drive
Looking at the disk activity under resource monitor, under task manager, I can confirm that aoldesktop.exe is writing to the hard drive.
What is the software doing? It'd be great to get more info about what is going on exactly. The only theory that I have is that the software makes a backup so in the event that the browser crashed, having a the browser recover your info would seem like a good idea.
I think aol 9.8 had this and most browsers do. There should be an option to customize aol desktop gold writing to a hard drive.

AOL Breached in December 2022 and members not told
Inform all members of breaches immediately so we can change our passwords. McAfee informed me in February of the system breach. A lot of Email contacts can be affected in two months. I have since changed my password twice

Using the right aol feedback tool
There are two ways to submit feedback and report bugs in aol desktop gold. Under help, choose either submit feedback or report a bug.
Submit feedback is how to make aol desktop gold better and report a bug is explaining a problem that you're having with aol desktop gold.
I have used both. My understanding is that the report a bug, lets aol engineers look into the problem, while submit feedback lets the aol staff know about things, which can then be passed onto the engineers.

AOL GOLD? LET'S TALK IDIOTIC.
THE FREE VERSION OF AOL OFFERS MUCH BETTER PHOTO VIEWING AND EDITING WHICH SHOULD BE INCORPORATED INTO AOL GOLD, THE PAID VERSION. YA THINK? THE RAMPANT IDIOCY AT AOL AND VERIZON IS NEAR BREATHTAKING. AOL GOLD IS RIFE WITH BUILT-IN WEAKNESSES AND ONGOING ISSUES THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT.

Not Good
There are too many things to talk about here but suffice it to say that AOL has gone so far down the tubes it is ridiculous. Email doesn't work the way it did before. Comments on articles is out of control. It doesn't matter what you say, it will deny your comment based on some ridiculous nonsense that someone says the word you use is bad. Oh, please. Even a medical term is considered 'bad'. ENOUGH!!

Please correct your recent APP that supposedly cleans up data to improve performance - it is now just hanging up my online experience.

AOL 800# TECH SUPPORT ACTUALLY MAKE PROBLEMS WORSE. READ BELOW
AOL 800# Tech support is all foreign based so AOL Corporate officers can maximize their pay. AOL Tech Support usually creates more damage and make problems worse. AOL continues to utilize an idiotic, problematic browser arrangement that needs continuous reworking and updating. Their main default, workaround and fallback is to Reload the AOL Gold program via BOMGAR session, which most always causes loss of your AOL program-open settings and loss of all your personal TOOL-BAR settings and Icons which you have placed there, but, of course, always retrains the AOL commercial Icons, which actually can, and should be deleted. These…

If a person can't sign-on because he forgot his password, how can you expect him to log-on to let you know there's a problem?
Why not try being user friendly? Phoning a landline would work in my case. But sending am e-mail to an account that you can't log-on to seems like a waste of everyone's time.

Latest update
I don't need to know that microsoft is ending support for windows 7. Every time I sign on, there is a message saying so. There should be an option to not display this message every time I sign on.
Also I got an email from one of the aol testers that might explain why aol is slow at times, but there is no solution. Some of you might have the same issue that I do. I quote,
What appears to be happening is that all your physical memory is being used, and is swapping to the hard drive. We are…

aol desktop gold running in background
Almost everytime I start aol, my hard drive light stays solid for a good 20 minutes before turning off. Is aol running something in the background that I'm not aware of?
