    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).

  4. 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

  7. 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?

  8. E-mail

    Why does AOL e-mail ALWAYS go down?? Seems like everyday. Are people at AOL trying to chase people away? Doing a GREAT job at doing that. NEVER had this problem when AOL Owned the company. This before Time-Warner bought it out. SAD AOL decides what e-mail is rejected.

  9. 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.

  11. I am not accessible to Assist AOL

    I am an AOL member over 15 years. I have been Assist AOL member for some years. My payment were made automatically and never missed. However I am facing the worst problem now. I am not accessible to AOL support past 10 days. About 2 weeks ago, the function of my new HP computer was slow. Also AOL soft was not working. After someone cleaned up, next day all the function changed. I am a writer and about to publish my book. It is very intense time. I told tech support not to change anything. I also told not remove…

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. "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.

  15. Allow floating windows

    The browser is trying to be more than it is by masking itself as a separate desktop. Don't do this, use modules and instances instead. Have a main browser and when you click an item have it open a new module for that app that can float and be moved wherever on the screen, do not constrain only to the browser window.

  16. 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 ***.

  17. I gave up

    I was TRYING to read the material on Startrek, but the damned video ads kept planing. At one time before I quit, there was in ad playing in opposite corners. I know that those damned things care, cutsy, glitsy, clever, awesome, fantastic and wonderful, but the friggin things are obnoxious, distracting, and foolish. Does anyone there ever pay attention to what you are doing?

  18. THE FINAL STRAW !!!!

    the new policy agreement that all users will be forced to sign is just another slap in the face for all loyal AOL paid subscribers - after 20 years of paying i + all my family member will be cutting all ties with AOL , Yahoo , + Verizon - totally biased , inaccurate , + unreliable companies trying to control users - as if the Gold ongoing problems are not enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - VERY FRUSTRATING -

  19. Search line

    After fixing the search (subject) line so that it could be used to find the last page being read if something happened to that page, it seems that you have changed it. Today the page I was reading suddenly disappeared, but it wasn't on the subject line, so I couldn't get it back.. Are you going backward instead of trying to bring the Gold Aol up to the quality of the previous version?

  20. I can't do it any more!

    I was TRYING to read BuzzFeed, and behold those fu--ing videos kept invading the screen on the lower left. Is that really necessary? I "X" it out, and the **** things keep coming back. I am NOT going to put up with it. I'll just forego reading the rest of the material. AOL has gone to **** in a handbasket the last few years. Maybe it is time to find a new provider.
