  3. Misleading advertising.

    I have been a paying customer of AOL for decades. Since AOL has been placing ads for a multitude of companies and squeezing them in on every tiny little space, we are seeing many many misleading ads. Not only are they misleading but just straight out LIES. AOL need to vet these ads more closely and not allow them at all. It is ridiculous how AOL is allowing such advertising.
    AOL NEEDS TO STOP IT NOW.

  6. Comment Section; Use better judgement before rejecting

    This comment was rejected regarding the story on Jackie Robinson: "Jackie Robinson article on MLB legend's Army history restored to Department of Defense website after removal" Comment-Restored as it should be. He survived the scorn of people who felt he did not belong to become an inspiration to generations of black athletes & all sports fans. He was the role model for young blacks in all walks of life. He constantly worked to overcome adversity. His Character should to be admired as well as his athleticism & patriotism. There is absolutely no reason for this to have been rejected. It's…

  8. Give us a free option and make the subscriptions optional

    I got to download desktop gold but its really irritating that i am only limited to just the browser and like 3 or 4 or so features unless i pay money, so i want the option for all of it to be free and the option to pay will still be there just....not be the solution to use it...cause why do i have to pay 6$ just to hear some nostalgia ?.

  9. Stop the ads covering the content in articles

    It is becoming too difficult to read any AOL articles. Too many ads cover the content, and you must read between the ads -- sometimes only a line or two between the ads.

  11. Comments

    I think AOL discourages all but their political dogma and censors those with different ideas.It is why I left AOL after so many years dating back to the middle 1990's.
    I see nothing has changed.

  14. I like how AOL Gold just up and stops working!

    I like how AOL Gold just up and stops working and then presents a screen window that merely says "AOL HAS STOPPED WORKING" and then closes the program and says nothing else. I know AOL Gold is a junk, dumb program but just shutting off and collapsing is pretty stupid. All the while AOL takes your money. Sick.

  18. AOL adding an unremoveable header/footer to a composed body email during printing!

    How to delete auto-printing of Date, Subject, To and From when printing emails!  I have copied and pasted into a blank composed email for 30 years.  NEVER have these AOL auto headers/footers appeared until last week!  In print preview, I've always turned off headers/footers and I would be able to print just the body of the email I composed.  I  still turn those printers options off but now AOL has attached these titles (Subject, Date, To and From) when I'm simply printing an email that I'm not even sending to anyone!  My AOL address is autoprinting at the top of…

  19. Desktop gold should be free

    I get it aol has been in a bad financial spot for years but this new desktop software should be free instead of costing 6$ just to beta test and be nostalgic with the classic sounds, i only signed up for a 30 day free trial and then canceled it cause idk why something as simple as this isnt free....im only limited to using 4 or 5 features unless i pay money which is not right

    At least be free to use while the subscriptions are optional

  20. Mute Function Doesn't Work & Made Numerous Complaints

    I've tried to repeatedly mute two agitator screen names "Larr y" and "Billionaire Tears" and their names & posts disappear for about a minute and then come back. Are these paid posters or protected posters? They're always negative and taunting and sometimes post lies. As a customer, I'm fed up with AOL either not fixing this function or allowing these people to ruin my chat experience.
