When I copy and try to paste a second image, it will paste the first or previous image instead. Please fix this! It's very frustrating!
I have to shut down and restart in order to paste the current image I want to paste. It pastes the previous image instead of the current copied image. I've sent feedback about this problem before, but it has not been fixed. Are you listening, AOL Gold?

make it consistent to connect
aol gold is a genuine pain **********. it routinely won't connect even now that i have reinstalled it into my new HP computer 5th generation with Spectrum 5G internet service. Sometimes it will connect the next day-- who knows why. it is very interrupting to my business. Maybe this is a good time to dump aol service.

It should be possible to read mail saved on one's PC without having to sign on to AOL
AOL is engaging in deception by telling users they can save mail on their PC. No, that is not true. If it was, users would be able to read it without signing on, would be able to back it up, and would be able to transfer it to another computer. This appears to be a ploy to force users to continue to pay for the desktop software indefinitely if they want to be able to read "saved" mail. AOL has had 5 months to restore this and other features that were available in older versions, and has failed to…

Rapid flashing AOL ads and law suits
I've got three emails open and my desktop email window. There are four, rapidly flashing ads driving me nuts and making me sick to my stomach, so that I can't work. Maybe you, AOL, don't care about that, but are you aware that, for someone with epilepsy, that type of rapid, flashing movement can cause a seizure? And perhaps a law suit? Do you actually believe that those ads sell anything? Maybe people click on them just to try to stop the movement, but if I could stop them long enough to read whose ads they are -- or when…

All contacts in my mailbox are getting e-mails from me with something from DROPBOX. My IT tech says AOL was hacked. Please advise.
All contacts in my mailbox are getting e-mails from me with something from DROPBOX. I never sent them out. AOL tech checked my computer and said it wasn't compromised . My IT tech says AOL was hacked, because he is getting calls from his clients who use AOL. The same thing is happening to their address books. Please advise.

Why did AOL Gold change my settings on my laptop?
When I download AOL Gold it changed my file type associations for .htm and .html to AOL Gold. I never authorized this. What other covert changes did you also do to my computer? I absolutely do not trust AOL at all. If AOL was trustworthy, they would have a delivered a quality product first time.

I cannot download an email attachment or print an email to a PDF printer. I have reported this bug 3 times and no response.
Fix AOL Desktop Gold. I expect to get what I pay for. I have reported this bug 3 times and no response. This problem started within the last 2 weeks. I can go to AOL in a browser and then I can either download an attachment or print to a PDF printer. Why is it not working in AOL Desktop "Gold?" I have been using the same computer, with the same settings, with the same operating system, with the same network, with the same internet provider for at least 7 years. Also, get rid of all of the awful…

Just recently
Recently when I delete the messages in my SPAM Folder, they reappear in my RECENTLY DELETED MAIL Folder, so I have to delete them a second time. Please figure out why this is happening because it is annoying. I explained this to AOL Tech Support who took control of my computer but it continues to happen. Thank you. .

AOL GOLD IS AWFUL!!!
We should not have to pay for this until you get it working right. We all deserve refunds. Every time I go into my email there are email's I already deleted. I try and send an email, especially when there is an attachment and it doesn't send or it takes a very long time. I went in today and there was nothing showing in my in box, when I know for a fact there was. I have to re-start several times. It is so slow to start up. You have the never to keep taking things away from us and…

News content is no longer news
I'm a 20 year aol customer. I use to get the majority of my news from the aol home page. No longer though. The first 2 or 3 items are as far as I go, because the remaining 75 or so items are a waste of my time, and I would think many others as well. Filled with topics generally found in People magazine. Not news. Maybe separate hard news into a dedicated category. I'd be glad to try again.

Write mail area is the wrong size! Doesn't match "open" box size!
The new "write mail" area fir ab email composed is the wrong size! After composing a professional letter in the new area allowed, the person who opens the email finds large gaps between words in the email's sentences, because the box they open mail in doesn't match the size of the box it was written in! This causes the mail to auto-adjust leaving large gaps between words. This wastes my time trying to figure out how to size an email that won't have gaps and look unprofessional when it is opened. This did not happen with the old program.…

I tried to send (multiple times) messages with bcc typing the group name and when I try to send it comes up as an error. WHY?
Correct problem
This issue is most likely caused by the fact that the email contained too many recipients. AOL does not disclose the number of recipients or emails that can be sent at one time, but we recommend sending the email to a smaller group of recipients. You can split larger groups into multiple emails.
