  2. emails won't open but the ads sure do

    HOW AMAZING THAT I CAN CLICK ON AN EMAIL AND THE CONTENTS DOESN'T SHOW BUT BY GOD THE ADS ARE RIGHT THERE, FLASHING AND TAKING UP ALL THE MEMORY ON MY COMPUTER. I CAN'T SEE WHAT I'M HERE TO SEE, BUT BY GOD I CAN SEE ADS THAT HAVE NO MEANING TO ME. AOL SUCKS THE BIGGEST ****** EVER. ALL THE JOY IS GONE FROM USING AOL, THIS IS NO LONGER FUN, ITS TEDIOUS AND IT ****** ME THE **** OFF.

  3. 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

  6. When I try reading AOL news, I only get close to the end of the article when I click next I get a blank page And then I have lost the welcom

    Can't complete news items I click NEXT and get a blank page and then loose my welcome page. I have to click welcome in the top left corner and then start over, but still can not see the end of the article. This is enough to make me consider another option to AOL

  7. Updates

    Why is it I keep getting a message from AOL that tells me my AOL is not up to date but in the past when I checked, I am told my AOL is up to date. Now, I keep getting the same message but when I check for an update, NOTHING. AOL may not have been the best but it is terrible now. It's like comparing Frontier cable to a pile of ****. It's the same thing.

  8. 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?

  14. STOP SCREWING around with email.

    Yesterday I tried to send an email, and al that happened is AOL closed. When it reopened the email was still there. TODAY, I tried to send an email (thinking that you fixed it), it just sat there and made AOL FREEZE.
    WTF people, can't you do anything right??? Fix the email situation permanently and stop screwing around with it.
    I believe that, whoever is screwing up the email system "SHOULD BE FIRED"!

  15. AOL Auto downloads cost me $200 for computer techs & dead internet. Everyone must read this....

    12/27/18: After your last download, and as with prior downloads, for a while I had 3 orange AOL logos in my bottom task bar to launch on with. What I didn't know is that each one was for a different AOL Gold program which were causing conflicts. 3 weeks ago my internet kept going dead after several hours and the only way to get back online was to restart the computer. This happened over and over right after your last download every few hours. Had 2 computer techs here costing almost $200 who confirmed nothing was wrong with my computer.…

  18. Sending emails is often very slow.

    Emails won't send. Instead get a message something like "We seem to be having a problem sending your email. Please try again later." Then you're stuck because you can't close it without losing it, and it won't save to Drafts either. If it finally does, duplicates or triplicates may occur when repeatedly trying to save it in Drafts.

  20. Why Did I Have to Change My Password THREE Times in ONE Week??

    AOL Gold has INSISTED that 1) I reenter my password in the middle of a session totally disrupting what I was doing or 2) I get a "secret code" to enter THEN change my password just to log in. I'm running out of passwords and feel I'm being either taken advantage of or AOL has been hacked and I'm suffering because of it! Or is this punishment for posting here??? STOP IT!
