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 ***.
You can always download the software by browsing to Here

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.
Let me put you in touch with one of our Technical Support agents to investigate this. Please call our AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733. Our experts are available 24/7 by phone.

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.

Accuracy in AOL news reporting
Accuracy in AOL news reporting
AOL:Stop false narratives in your news like describing the death of the killer of Americans Soleimani as "murder".. Soleimani is the murderer. Hundreds of our people killed and thousands with grotesque wounds. The constitution does not permit the president to commit murder but it clearly gives him the authority to kill our enemies. AOL must stop trying to inflame and mischaracterizing important events in their anti Trump zeal.

So now also getting rid of my portfolio-THEE only reason I decided to pay the $5.00 a month to keep this joke of a site. The ads, pop ups, dead or incorrect links, so called articles a year old, etc, etc, etc. So now another customer lost. I believe Verizon is actually trying to close up AOL for tax reasons.

when I open a browser or the AOL welcome screen it flashed up for a second then goes blank, and is not usable. for example, www.google the home screen comes up, immediately goes blank, same as the AOL welcome screen. Also the email screen, locks. Trying to open an email, I can click on it several times..nothing happens. Finally an email MIGHT open, but the contents are empty ...blank just like the browser. AOL is now useless. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP!!! AOL Revision 11.0.1777

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?

cefsharp.browsersubprocess.exe
Long-time customer. I was just calling about the CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe. After about 3-4 minutes of trying to blame me for the problem, she literally hung up on me when I was asking a question. I pay for your service. Hanging up is unacceptable.
My anti-virus keeps blocking this program. Why can't you do something about it.
We sincerely apologize for this experience with our customer service. Please call 703-265-5070 and someone will be happy to help you.
As for the cefsharp.browsesubprocess.exe concern, this process is the browser process within AOL Desktop that allows the connection to the internet. Each window/feature within AOL Desktop Gold that connects to the internet uses one of these processes for the connection to the internet. As you close windows you will see that these processes exit.
Please be sure to add cefsharp.browsesubprocess.exe to your anti-virus software allow list to avoid any frustrations with connecting to the internet.

Hate this "new" way of providing feedback -- your upgrade ****
Unable to drag & drop from Favorites into the signature (i.e. Follow me on Twitter - with link already attached). Adding pictures used to be simple - now I have to search for and then copy/paste from another area. AND, after painstakingly creating a signature, and using it many times . . . TODAY, one signature disappeared to be the signature from another saved signature. NOT HAPPY Trying to WORK here!
Let me put you in touch with one of our technicians to check if they can help you out. Please call the AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733

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?
I’d like to have one of our Technical Support agents investigate this. Please call our AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733. Our experts are available 24/7 by phone.

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.

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…

news articles
Lighten up on the selected words that are censored, there are a lot of word aol articles used, words in your article are worse than what we are trying to comment on. Please quit re-posting articles from the past its really getting boring and forcing us to go to other browsers. You maybe don't have to post 80 articles a day that last 3-4 days at a time. Your taking away our 1st amendment.

favorites
it would be nice when saving to favorites to be able to name it as we want or go ahead and save it by default. there are a lot of times i don't know what name it put on it in the favorites and hard to find if you dont hit the correct word in the search block when trying to find it. just give us the option to name it or default.
When you add a site to favorites there are 2 fields that must be completed. The first asks for the name you want the favorite to have and the other one holds the link. If you didn’t name a bookmark you can click on edit and rename it.
Major websites will automatically use the default name (Ex: www.google.com = Google)

Replace or Improve Desktop Gold
I just got off the phone with Tech Support, and they had to uninstall and then reinstall your HORRIBLE Desktop Gold platform once again since it would freeze up and stop working after I was using it after a few hours every single time. What a waste of my time, and it costs AOL lots of money having their tech support team deal with the endless problems with the platform that its users encounter.
Desktop Gold is hated by everyone, and is the worst platform that AOL has over had, yet you refuse to improve it, or better yet, replace… -
Da??ed ads!
Just trying to read about Air Force One and a blasted video ad keeps flopping in the lower right corner. It is so distracting for me that I just quit reading. Oh, yeah, I know that they're so cutsy but they are very annoying. I don't watch the dam things, and I don't get the story read that I wanted. Nice going. It's a two time loser.
