  1. Stop requesting an Adobe Flashplayer update

    Whenever I go to Settings or Help there is an alert to update to the latest version of Flashplayer. The latest version is already installed on my computer, and is updated regularly. When are you going to put together a real Tech Support team that doesn't include idiot kids from India or Pakistan, who only know how to play games on their cell phones. AOL has really gone off the deep edge.

  2. Address book problems

    I have spent the last hour on the phone with tech support trying to be able to edit and/or delete contacts in my address book. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it. Nothing the agent tried has worked and when I try to edit an address in the address book, no change is made. I also cannot delete any contacts.

  11. IF YOU CAN'T FIX THIS ****** PROGRAM THEN GET RID OF IT

    I truly don't know how long we aol users are supposed to be putting up with this BS that you call a program but I'm **** sick and tired of getting upset every time I try to send email. Its either 'mail not sent because of an error' or 'wait 5 minutes and try again'... FIX THIS *. You have the nerve to charge us for a program that doesn't even work, doesn't perform to the low standards it was before this marvelous upgrade. * we'd be happy with the old version instead of this **** that doesn't work.…

    why did you put a "notify aol" button in chat rooms if no one is going to respond to them or do anything? So many evil nasty people saying hurtful things to others and when we try and send to you guys, it eithrr just never gets handled or it just loads and loads and loads and never sends. What's the point and when will the issue finally get taken care of in some form or another?

  18. AOL Desktop Gold intermittently displays my entered password on my Windows 7 desktop. Please fix the software so that the PW is not shown.

    This problem started when the latest release of AOL Desktop Gold was done in the last few days. The problem does not occur on my Windows 10 laptop. It is only on my Windows 7 desktop computer. It is a security concern because my password can be stolen more easily by hackers.
