    when i do a search in the Favorites due not being able to find the site listed in my favorites, which is rather long, it displays the site i want but doesn't show where the site is listed in my Favorites so i have to manually find it and move the site to where i want it listed. it would be great if when we search is to go right to where it is listed so we know exactly where it is listed. i have a lot of major favorites, i.e., truck issues, DAV, Bills, and a lot of sites…

    The radio button has been removed from the Address Card view. The ‘Primary E-Mail’ field will be the main email address that will show in your Address Book.

  11. Transparent PNG images with alpha channels show up black & are converted to JPG

    I am a Graphic Designer and have to email my iOS programmer 2600+ transparent PNG images to program into our iOS application. They have to be in PNG format. AOL Desktop Gold has a few programming flaws that need to be fixed immediately. When I copy any PNG image into the write mail window, AOL incorrectly flattens the transparent PNG image making the transparent area BLACK in color and ALSO changes the file format from PNG to a flattened JPG image. We can NOT use JPG images at all as they lack an alpha channel.

    This HAS to be fixed…

    Thank you for your feedback, we will share it with the engineering team.

    As a workaround, please attach the PNG files to the email, as opposed to embedding them into the email body. To attach the files, click on the ‘Attach File’ button at the bottom left corner of the Write mail window.

  14. Need Help Setting The Privacy Option in My AOL Account

    On my Dell EBT 2250 PC using the Windows 11 operating system, I am not able to change the privacy options in my AOL account. Whenever I try to change any one of the options, I always get the error message " Oh No ... we are not able to process this request" I have gone into my AOL account using the myaccount.AOL com numerous times in order to change the privacy settings. I have tried to do this using the FireFox, Edge, and Opera browsers with and without my malware/virus protection programs turned
    on. I have also power cycled…

  16. No way to cancel an email upload. A totally new problem

    I am attempting to send files to my boss, I have multiple emails to send. I was in the process of sending one and decided I'd put the rest in my 'waiting to be sent' folder and each time I tried the mail started sending instead of going into the folder. Which resulted in 2 emails trying to be sent at the same time. There is NO cancel upload button anymore which resulted in both emails being sent at the same time. And with no way to cancel the second email from going, I ended up with Err35 message…

    Thank you for reaching out to us, we will send this to our Product Engineers and they will look into this to see if they can have it fixed in a future update or release of the software.

    Once you click on “Send Now” after composing the email, there is no way to cancel the action. If you want to save your email and send it later, you can click on “Send Later” and retrieve the email from the Drafts folder.

  17. Does anyone at AOL read the COMMENTS?

    It is hard to believe, that AOL has become **** For three weeks, every time I turned on my computer, I was alerted that AIM as of Dec 15 was NO LONGER AVAILABLE. It kept going till Jan 2nd. Now four days ago, I get a AOL ALERT, that I can only use AOL GOLD. No notice, no nothing. Then waiting 40 minutes to speak with a AOL tech and listening to the twangy music, I am told " SORRY"
    What ever Team worked on AOL GOLD have to be FIRED. They are Incompetent. There are so many issues…

  19. Unusual AOL problems the last couple of days.

    Has anyone else experienced unusual difficulty with AOL the last couple of days? Here's what's been going with my aol: 1) I take steps to save an email to a new folder. The email does not show anywhere in the new or old or deleted sections, but the new file folder with the saved email is not showing up in the saved area or anywhere else. 2) I wrote an email and clicked to send it. It doesn't send. I give it a few minutes and then click send again. It doesn't send this time either, and doesn't give me…
