  1. 3rd Party cookies

    AOL Gold apparently does not have an option to block 3rd party cookies. I want that option to protect my privacy. Without it I may cease using AOL Gold and go to other browsers.

  2. Spam Mail Deletion

    I would suggest that recently deleted "Spam Mail" should go into the "Recently Deleted" folder the way previous versions (Blue) of AOL did for years. This would allow review prior to permanent deletion, esp. if the Spam Mail were deleted in error.

  3. chat box removal - wonder who put this on the screen

    Remove the "Presidential" chat button that seems to be persistent and cannot be closed without clicking on it....... Is AOL or a political party paying for this realestate?

  5. Mew emojis are nice but most of them are too small to use. You can't make them larger using font size.

    Please make them work with choice of font sizes so we can make them larger.

  6. words banned from chat

    Please review common words and terms that are currently banned from posting in chat rooms. For example: Magna *** Laude, a Latin term which means to graduate from college with high distinction. Also, "kitty litter" when chatting about pet cats, and "blow," as in to blow out candles on a birthday cake. Your censors apparently do not understand common English or Latin words and how they are used. There should not be any reason to prevent their posting. Not everybody's mind is in the gutter.

  7. How do I delete email headers & footers when printing?

    If I don't want email headers and footers to appear on printed email, how do I turn this feature off by default? The workaround in print preview has an easy check the box option, but only for that particular email.

  8. You have changed the response process when an individual responds to a comment that we have posted on your AOL ARTICLES. You guys keep me

    Once again AOL you changed the process to respond to comments that are posted to our comments on your AOL News page. The change is HORRIBLE and it is clear that you never test the process before rolling it out. It is time you hire a developer that can resolve the issues for you as it is VERY VERY FRUSTRATING for all of your users.

  11. Saving individual mail folders in Gold

    Bring back the old way of saving mail folders in your Personal Filing Cabinet like it has been since the beginning of AOL - yes I have been a paying member since the day it started and with Gold can no longer save the individual folders in the Mail to another location like a DVD or memory stick. These folders get way too big and non-manageable over time
    If you right click on a saved mail folder now in Gold it says :"Save Folder As" - like it always has - but when you click on it nothing happens.
    This…

  13. sign on screen make the username box bigger along with the arrow,you have plenty of room why don't you make it convenient for people to use

    Regarding sign on screen. Why don't you make the username box bigger making it easier to to log in . Above all the small arrow icon to change users. it's so small and light colored you need a magnifying glass to see it. I can't believe something that is used often is so small .Doesn't anybody that designed this ever tried to use it. You have to be a marksman to hit it with your mouse,every time I sign on it torques me that this was designed so stupid.

  14. Correct weather report

    I have tried over and over to get this correction. Now you say the idea is closed. I NEED THE CORRECT WEATHER REPORT!!! In the previous AOL version, I got the right report for Reseda, California, where I live. Now, all you will give me is the Los Angeles report. RESEDA WEATHER IS NEVER THE SAME AS LOS ANGELES! Since the previous AOL gave the correct one, why are you unable to bring that back? Now I have to go to MSN to get it. Maybe I should do everything there instead of on AOL. AOL stinks, and it has…

  17. Please STOP all the AOL pop ups on sign in. I've set preferences NOT to have pop ups, and yet each time I sign in, there's AOL Games popup.

    Respect your customer's wishes. In preferences I've stopped popups from AOL or otherwise. Yet, still I get the AOL Games pop up (and others) EVERY TIME i sign in -- sometimes several times a day. STOP. I really hate this new AOL GOLD. It's terrible -- slow, freezes, and non-responsive. Get your act together, please!

  19. Address Book function

    Before ADG it was possible to "letter search" the names and email addresses. That is, pressing the letter of the name or email address would take you to the first name/email address in the group with that letter. Have to manually tab down the list now to get to names/email addresses that we want to access or add to a group.
