Its pretty sad that not only did you not help with my password issue, but the AOL employee didnt know howto transfer my call.
When an AOL user calls for assistance, try your best to not just give up. Whats the point of a membership fee then?

The auto suggestion on the address bar sucks.
Leave it as it was--don't want it showing names, topics, etc, that I never searched or care about in my browser!!! Use & PAY for AOL Desktop Gold--!! Don't need to pay for aggravation or for my computer to show places I've never searched!!

Stop destroying the Icons.
First you destroyed the "smiley face" by giving it a moronic-looking open mouth. A smiley face is a smiley face. This new thing is not. Now I see you've destroyed the cute "wink." It's substitute is overblown and ugly. Are you deliberately trying to destroy aol? Or has aol been gobbled up by just another tasteless megawhatever?

Problem with your phone service
I just tried to call your 888 number and I get the computer voice telling me what to do but when I am transferred to a live person, there is just dead silence after the ringing stops. I tried going in through technical support first and it did it 3 different times and then tried going into customer support in case there was a problem with the technical phones but it happens in both places. So if you don't have anyone fixing your phone service, you have a problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try to call us again.

I'm disappointed with the upgrade of copy send - red boxes appearing -not allowing sending
Please remove the bell icons that appear when I try to copy & paste.
After pasting they appear as red rectangles with an x and padlike symbol not allowing me to forward to my existing customers. Now I have to remove all the red markings - this II always did with bcc & to icons. This is very time consuming as I have a long list of customers that are expecting the latest news.
I have been an AOL customer for over 25 years - please remove the bell symbols and return to the old version. I want to remain… -

How do I block Politics, Government and Corruption from Welcome Page when signing-in to aol?
When it comes to freedom of choice, It would be nice for AOL to be recognized as the World Leader in Customer Satisfaction Rating for Providing Internet Service by empowering subscriber to regain control over their sign-in welcome page by providing additional categories to select as their default Welcome Screen when signing-on to AOL.
Our Nation has more positive and uplifting choses to learn, share and report than choosing to make a living off some people flaws, many are lacking and other people misery.

Oath officers colosally stupid
You people are consummately STUPID. You took a good featured program and ******* it up. You removed many great features from GOLD, which is a real piece of ****, by the way. Hard to believe you twits get paid for this. Instead of correcting a problem, you just offer an excuse error message. What dorks. You removed the Drag and Drop function from the Favorites list and alphabetized it instead. Are you a 9 year old? What a bunch of colossal fools. And then you charge for this service? Email takes forever to send, photos won't load and usually crashes…

2. Your main page doesn’t even load at times.
3. The stories don’t always match the story on the main page.
4. Email loads slowly or not at all. Many times I get a message to try again in five minutes because AOL cannot access your email.
5. When I go to any Web Site, that site’s web page is automatically added to my Address Book.

Regarding your experience with the Address Book groups, this is caused by the auto-add contacts feature. If the groups contain email addresses that are not in your Address Book (individual contacts) they will be automatically added, after sending an email to the group. Also removing the individual contact from the Address Book, will also delete it from the group.
In order to avoid auto-adding contacts to the address book, please follow these steps to disable the auto-add feature:
1. Click Edit on the top left.
