  1. When typing in an email address, it should autofill

    The old AOL used to autofill the email address when you typed in a few letters
    Now with Gold, you must type and then click which is an extra step
    Please restore autofill

  2. Please fix the feed!

    Please be more discerning about what you place in the news feed. I'm less than 10 items in, and already (#7) is a story about Walmart store closings from at least 4 months ago. This is not news. Neither are the numerous photos of famous or semi-famous women with headlines about how skimpy or revealing their outfits are. This junk is just insulting our intelligence. Please make options available to simply get the news OR the gossipy stuff, or whatever else. I don't want to have 80+ stories in the feed when most of them are totally irrelevant!

  4. I see AOL's priorties....Hurricane Dorian story on 23rd page of your news! (pathetic)

    Meanwhile, your front page story is about Vice president Pence getting criticism for which Hotel he chose to sleep at !!! You've lost all my respect.

  5. 2 ideas or more

    1] discontinue the annoying "breaking news" pop-up
    2] find a way to avoid "network error" from preempting videos.(I can watch YouTube and other videos from various sites, for hours with no difficulty--and cannot understand why AOL videos of 40 seconds don't work.
    3] do not put up teasers in your 80 or so stories that, when clicked on, esult in "nothing found" or "ooops there seems to e a problem" or a reminder to check spelling in our search!

  6. Use an alternative method of verification besides a text message.

    For account verification you use texting. There are still people who use landlines. I had to call someone I know who has a cellphone, have the verification number sent to them, and have them call me so I could verify. Ridiculous.

  9. Why desktop only allows 50 names to filter into files?

    I am allowed to create as many files as I want, yet only allowed a total of 50 names to be filtered into those files. Why not more.

  11. ***********

    There is nothing new about stupid. It has been around since the beginning of time. However, AOL has brought it to a new level because you are not only stupid, you try to pretend you are smart by using lies. YOU ****** and you hate America. We get it....

  12. and ******* should not be posted where children and adults view it. Please monitor these sites better so that children and adults are not

    Why don't you monitor filthy language posted on feedback, i.e., Trump Presidency (5/24/19), I personally don't like him and I don't know what the person who wrote was angry about put the posting should never have gone out to the public. Very disappointed in AOL.

  15. My 12 Year old Would Like to Apply for AOL CEO! I think he can turn it around!

    He's smarter than any person who is making downgrades to the service, making it worse and charging for it!! Is this what Socialism does to people? Or did they have the Lobotomy first?

  19. NEW **** YOU PUT IN FAVORITES

    Remove 'aol premium, benefits and chatroom' I have no use for them there, I know how to find them, and you don't even give us the option to remove them or lower them to the bottom where I don't have them blocking my important things saved. GET RID OF THEM. Also remove the 'alpha listing in favorites and let us choose the sequence of how we want our lists by sliding them up or down LIKE WE ALWAYS HAD BEFORE ****** AOL GOLD.
