  5. Err3 error.. what the heck is that about?

    When trying to get a piece of email to go to my waiting to be sent folder I got that message. Why should there be any delay or error sending mail to my waiting to be sent folder? Why isn't it going through immediately? This doesn't happen all the time, but it shouldn't happen ever at all for any reason.

  6. LET SOMEONE KNOW SOMETHING

    Today I was installing a new alarm and security system at my home and had to use my AOL email address several times. I couldn't get either system UP AND RUNNING because the companies I was dealing with COULD NOT VERIFY MY EMAIL ADDRESS???? A few days ago, my credit card was compromised and it was cancelled and a new one issued. About this time AOL trys to draft my credit card account on the old number, which was no good. AOL SAID NOTHING, I GOT NO NOTIFICATION......."NOTHING".....THEY JUST CUT OFF MY SERVICE right in the middle of what I…

  13. These instructions make NO SENSE TO ME... tried it and didn't work:

    To add a photo in the email signature… open the picture in a Photo Editor (we recommend Microsoft Paint), and after using the Selection tool to select which part of the photo you want in your signature, copy the selection using the Copy function in your photo editor, or with the CTRL+C keys on your keyboard. After copying the photo selection go to the Set Mail Signatures option in AOL Desktop Gold, and paste the photo in the signature compose window by using the CTRL+V keys on your keyboard.

  17. Neither CUT or EDIT/UNDO will remove a graphic from an email I am composing

    If I put a graphic in an email I am composing and then immediately decide to remove the graphic I can not remove it. I have to close the email and start all over. Don't tell me to clear my footprints. That does not help.

  18. I am paying for this aggravation?? Go back to 9.8.

    There is so much wrong in every area that I can't list everything here. Plus thing we loved like the Buddy List no longer exist. Things I have posted about in the past were either deleted with no explanation, or else they were not fixed or addressed. I have been a member since the 90's and this "updated" "better" Gold is the worst ever. Everyone wants 9.8. Why are you resisting? It has been months now with no fixes to critical problems.

    The browser is the worst piece of garbage. It does not update when you make changes to web…

  20. URGENT! Graphics being sent to customers have the resize box around them!

    Please fix immediately. AOL is ruining my business. I can not send graphics I create for customers. They have the resize box around them...they do not have the transparent backgrounds that they should have...and maybe it's just this crummy browser but they appear larger than they really are. What is AOL doing to us and when will all this be fixed?? There are problems in every area and I am paying for all of this????
