  6. A majority of your news, on your news feed, is click bait. Years ago you only had 8 pages, now you have 71! Get rid of the click bait!

    It seems that ever Facebook is trying to eliminate/restrict click bait but AOL seems to be adding more of it daily. This, truly, doesn't speak well for AOL. or for how they consider the needs of their customers.
    Eliminate it!

  7. Not so fast....

    You guys think you're perceptive, sharp, cool, together and creative. You are none of those. Instead, you just sit at your computer screens to look busy so you don't get your *** fired, which you just so righteously deserve. You're like spoiled children let loose on a fools cyber playground which tells me the Oath corporate officers must be as inept and dense as you. Having money, control and power doesn't make you right, it just means you can, which in your case is neurotically misguided. Sad.

  8. When system TIMEOUT occurs, AOL loses password

    When leaving the computer for a time, Windows times out..
    Upon return, AOL demands its' Password - Even though the password has been saved.

    My Desktop AOL normally comes up without needing the PW. The 'saved password' was always copied to each new release of the Beta, but once that timeout occurs, the PW is required.

  12. Fix Your Flashplayer, your username service,and your window saver!

    Every time I get on Gold, the various windows I use are different sizes than what I had SAVED. THAT is NOT okay. Also, you have NOT upgraded your platform to accept the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer. I spent 2 hours with Amazon trying to figure out why I couldn't play "sample" Music on Amazon, Finally he did, after having me try every fix in the book; NONE of which worked because of AOL! The last 3 numbers of the latest version of Flashplayer are .161.Get your act together AOL, or I'm dropping you. I already had someone…

  18. To truly improve my AOL Deaktop Gold experience, return to any previous version, This one stinks! Error messages are compounding.

    Its bad enough to get an error 355 message repeatedly, but now I'm getting 'mail not sent because of an error'. No explanation how to fix it, what the error is, just an error. I'm waiting 3 to 5 minutes for that error to pop up, then I try again, wait again and there is the message again. The mail has not been sent. This version is getting worse instead of better. We have other things to do online than to wait 10 minutes to send one email. This is horrible. And you have the nerve to charge us for…

  20. "Premium" AOL Gold?

    I received an email about downloading a "premium" AOL Gold. Why don't you fix all the glitches in the "regular" Gold, which we pay for every month? Why would I even try anything new? I don't trust new developments when we've been begging for the original Gold to be fixed?" Yesterday it took upwards of 90 seconds for one email to send. Why should that be acceptable?
