  4. Displaying Multiple Pictures Taken Away :(

    I want to know WHY displaying multiple pictures on the screen at one time has been taken away? Why is AOL trying SO HARD to push away their subscribers? Who is making these dumb decisions?

  7. auto-suggestions

    I am told by AOL Help that you cannot edit auto-suggestions on Desktop Gold. That should be fixed. I mistyped an address and it keeps trying to send it to that bad address. I want to delete that auto-suggestion.

  11. Have a simple way to report email fraud

    Have a simple way to report email fraud from an address which proports to be from AOL. I spent 20 minutes talking to a customer service rep who kept trying to sell me "stuff" instead of taking the fraud info from the email.

  12. desktop gold software only highlights the line you click on then disappears does not go to the next message.

    desktop gold software is not highlighting next line in new mail. only highlights the line you click on then disappears. So when trying to delete messages you have to keep clicking the next message to have the highlight reappear. Please fix this

  13. "move to" for sent emails

    when trying to use "move to" for sent emails, the only option is "on my pc". the "on aol" option is gone.

    the "on aol" option for any other email is there, sent emails is the only place it is missing now.

  14. You want to improve "gold"? Start over cause it ain't working

    What has happened. Now when I sigh on, there is NO option for a screen name and when I tried to open an email, it took over 6 minutes and it still was not open. I gave up trying after that. You "fix" one thing and break 5 others.

  15. Downloaded attachments are saved in downloads instead of giving an option to save as a document

    When trying to save an attachment in my email, it only gives me an option to download instead of allowing me to save it in documents. It then forces me to save the document again in documents.

  16. I know that this forum is really paid attention to, but, I've beena AOL subscribers since I first got the internet (I'm 68yoa), probably aro

    WHY, why do I get "Oops" (white screen with an error code that does NOTHING to help the solution.) (not my job, mon) with SO many requests.I will give you guys about 2 weeks to figure it out and then I'm gone. Been here since about 1996 but it's really starting to suck. Anyone else will/may/might be better. I don't need a reply, it'll still be the same...(it's your lame butt or the computer's).

  17. n companies continue to make changes that I, as a customer have

    I have had AOL since 1999. When things work, I generally keep them, but when a company continues to make changes without notifying me, and make changes that make more work to do the same thing, I begin to think that perhaps it's time to make a change. Almost every one of my friends and acquaintances who had AOL have left for these same reasons. As a paying customer/user, I do not want to spend hours trying to make things work because you all decided you had a better idea....ugh. We're NOT all IT people, nor do we want…

  19. ads are making my aol horrible, nothing works except the ads.

    Ever since the new sidebare with the double ads began running my AOL has slowed way down. Its almost as bad as the old dial up. We are not happy.. I have had multiple calls with techs and spent several hours trying to resolve the slow speed. nothing has helped.
    AOL. needs its own troubleshooter app like System mechanic that users can run on their own to clean up or fix AOL issues.

  20. AOL DOWNLOADS

    I had to delete AOL because I thought software was corrupted. I've been trying to download AOL Desktop Gold for two days but can't see how to do it without downloading other *. You need to have a site so people can find it and download it easily. Frustrated and ***.
