Folders can't be moved to "Saved on AOL"
We ought to be able to Copy "Saved on my PC" folders to "Saved on AOL" as there are several selective backup utilities that can only see content on "Saved on AOL" folders.
As another reviewer said, the Manage Folders functions "Move" and "Save Folder As" functions are not working.

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.

The word I should always be in upper case. When I type it as i, this is incorrect. GOLD program does not show this as an error.
The word I should always be in upper case. When I type it as i (LOWER CASE), this is incorrect. GOLD program does not show this as an error.
Second issue If I have to type a word or name that is correct for my
use, I get a "QUESTIONABLE" along with YOUR list of suggestions. What happens if those suggestions are not what I need or want? There is no way to correct or amend the word in the QUESTIONABLE area. There is no cursor in that area. There is also no way to save that word IN ORDER…153rd ranked -

allow spelling changes within spell check.
after generating an email, one uses aol spell check and comes across a misspelled word-
if the correct word is not in the suggested list, one must close spell check and manually correct the spelling in the email.
spell check should allow for changes to be made dynamically in the box where the misspelled word shows up.17th ranked -
Audio confirmation when saving a web site to Favorite Places.
I liked a feature on the old AOL software that gave you an Audio confirmation when you saved a website to a Favorite place folder. Very similar to now (on Gold) when I save an email to a folder on my "PC" you get an Audio sound plus a pop up box confirming the action. I don't need a pop up box but would like an Audio confirmation of my action.

there needs to be a way to save multiple emails, as a group to a flash drive or hard copy
there needs to be a way to select multiple emails, and save them all as individual files, to a flash drive, hard drive, etc so they can be used/viewed individually... OFF SITE from AOL or required internet access.
I have a situation where I need to make a copy of 249 emails and present them all, as separate, electronic files, as evidence in a court case. All 249 emails are saved - on AOL, in the PFC, and accessible... but only through internet access. I need to submit a flash drive to the court with all of the files, as…

why do we have to keep clicking
Why do we have to keep clicking backwards to get back to article #1? Refresh used to do it instantly but you've removed that option. And no, clicking on "refresh" at the AOL logo does not do the same - it only refreshes the page you're on!

Let me help improve available sound
Your 'new' aol voice/wav files or aol sounds for mail are aweful, they seem geared to a younger generation or something.
I have compiled a folder of some sounds that you may be able to use that would be SO much better.Can't someone review these and decide if you guys can add them to what is available to us? I put together only the short, non-offensive, simple wavs to use as sound.
Can you at least look it over and consider them? If so, I will send them on to you.129th ranked -

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.
