  1. something broken between AOL Desktop Gold and Facebook

    In the past few days when I go to Facebook from inside my AOL software, I type in my email and password and the reCAPTCHA comes up and takes me through all kinds of loops before it says "try again". For 17 times!!! When it finally does accept what I'm doing, it takes me right back to the Facebook login screen and when I reinput the info, I'm sent right back to the reCAPTCHA. Is that something broken on the AOL side or the FACEBOOK side? If I come out of AOL and go in straight from Edge, I get…

  2. changed color

    Successfully changed the mail scroll bar color to orange, but the selected mail still stays dark blue making it very difficult to read. Hoe do I switch back to light blue for both the scroll bar as well as the selection of mail?

  5. When I access my Facebook on AOL Gold I get tied up in the captcha loop that will take me back to sign in and then another captcha loop

  7. Stop relocating the AOL icon on my desktop.

    Stop relocating the AOL icon on my desktop. I have placed it just where it is most convenient for me. Please leave it alone. Not a big deal, but it is an irritant.

  9. Spam is out of control again and way to graphic

    Spam is out of control again and way too graphic in subject line. AOL can show zero spam then you open the spam folder and find many spams that had just been deleted. Been a client since 1993 you should be able to do better.

  10. Don't ask about Fingerprint sign on EVERY SINGLE TIME

    Why does it ask if I want to use Fingerprint EVERY time I log on? Once a month is all I need. But multiple times a day is not good.

  16. Afraid to update and see what's been screwed up that was working fine before the update

    I am leery every time there is a new update anymore. Every time there is one it screws something that worked up. My email has been horrible with lag in opening, send a response, typing sentences since the last 2 updates. I am also so tired of seeing "AOL NOT RESPONDING: as I watch a blue circle spinning, see the "loading" little dots spinning. $17 plus a month for aggravation that is soon going to be cancelled, like you guys really seem to care less about. It's not my internet connect, have no issues with EDGE only AOL. Forget about…
