  1. Drop your judgmental attitude or I will drop AOL

    Ted Cruz cluelessly tries to slam rejoining of the Paris Agreement. Clueless? Really?! How about just give me the facts and not your descriptive opinion.

  3. Auto Save E-mail Addresses on Send (Again)

    In the past, AOL Desktop would automatically add the To: address to the Address Book when sending an e-mail. This no longer happens, in fact the option to turn this function on/off in missing.

    Please restore.

  4. AOL Gold is horrible and it uses way too much CPU and memory. It runs very slowly and takes forever to send an email.

    Sine AOL Gold has so many problems and always has, why don't you replace it with a platform that works much better like all of the earlier platforms?

  5. I would LOVE to see a new added catagory for email

    Now we have INBOX & SPAM that AOL places incoming emails.

    I would very much appreciate, and use a new one of (say) SUBSCRIPTIONS.

    I let many of my subscriptions go to the SPAM folder, and friends & family emails go to the INBOX. (I've noted that AOL 'remembers' which go where)
    The problem: One sender of a subscribed newsletter dropped me claiming I wasn't reading the newsletter, I WAS, but it was in SPAM and I'm wondering if they get notified when I labeled it SPAM to move them from the INBOX

    GMAIL, as you may know, has MANY…

  6. Add a "Search the Web" to spelling suggestion

    While typing a new email, spelling errors are underlined, and a mouse right click shows a suggestion at the top and many other options,
    WHY NOT make the next option a seach on what is 'mis-spelled'. I find many more suggestions (& sometimes the word is correct ) from Google.

    Most medical terms seem to be unrecognized by AOL spellcheck.

  7. too much

    I was just trying to read the article on the young lad with a crooked smile, but there was so much other **** that it was hard to find the pieces of the story. Does anyone there give a **** about the story's readability? Does anyone read the **** that you post? Someone should.

  9. Quit showing phony stories of people's looks, how they live, and lies

    Be truthful and shorten stories where we have to click over and over to get the point of your stories which are very boring. You are wasting our time. Sometime the person you are featuring isn't even in the story.

  10. FIX AOL GOLD. IF I KNEW HOW, I'D HAVE YOUR JOB.

    AOL GOLD IS PROBLEMATIC WHENEVER AND WHEREVER I USE IT, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OR BRAND COMPUTER. AOL GOLD PROBLEMATIC STATE IS MOST CONTINUALLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY AOL TECH SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. I HAVE USED AOL GOLD IN DIFFERENT CITIES, STATES AND COUNTRIES WITH CONNECTION SPEEDS FROM 0.25 MBS TO OVER 50 MBS AND IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. AOL GOLD HAS BUILT-IN FLAWS AND INCONSISTENCIES MAKING IT ONE OF THE WORST AND USER UNFRIENDLY ONLINE PROGRAMS IN EXISTENCE. SADLY, THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER THE VERIZON ACQUISITION AND THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE AOL PROGRAM INTO "AOL DESKTOP GOLD". IT HAS NOW…

  11. What do I have to pay in fee to get 36,678 incoming mails out of my computer

    My idea is to return to your old AOL mode hat keeps customer on your site. At the rate you are going - and I have been with you 1993 (count the years!!) there will be one more leaving, if not many more. Wake up your customer service has gone down the drain.

  13. Read Mail Retained in New Folder after Refresh

    I have been seeing an anomaly where some read emails are retained in the New folder even after the folder is refreshed. This seems to have been addressed twice in recent Desktop Gold version releases:

    Version 11.0.2978: "HOT Fixed! - return to New folder with read mail, read mail still shown".
    Version 11.0.3001: "HOT Fixed! - returning directly to new mail folder after close, mail marked as read still shown"

    I just closed and opened Desktop and it updated from version 2984 to 3001 and the bug remains. (For some reason the version did not update to version 3012 released…

  17. Community Leaders

    Back in the day, AOL had volunteers known as Community Leaders that helped control their chat rooms and games. Once they were removed, that is when AOL started to fall apart and continue to go down hill. So, why not make AOL great again by not only bringing back chat rooms, but the volunteer program that helped make and keep AOL a fun, enjoyable place for people to come and use?

  18. No mail lists, or emails show when first loaded.

    Just a Heads-Up to AOL programmers/testers

    This only happened two days, yesterday & today. The next time I will send a Bug Report.
    Both times, AOL appeared to come up as expected, but none of the mail folders or emails displayed. Waiting didn't help. I'd never seen this happen before.

    Both times, I KILLED the AOL Gold process's and restarted AOL, On both restarts the email folders and expected email immediately showed up..

  20. Comments points

    I like to post comments to the News articles in Welcome. Since you started the points thing I noticed my points in less than two hours can vary from 1 to 5.6k. Why is that? It seems a few people like my comments but one "censor" has it in for me. Does this happen to others and when will it be fixed?
