  3. Absolutely Ridiculous and Totally Irritating

    I have been trying to cancel my AOL Assist for months! Impossible to find it under Help because the AOL help link goes to a page that does not exist. (YES, I have all the program updates/grades). I finally get my Bank to give me the number of whose charging me and after several disconnects, find someone to help. However, the only way I can get refunded for the charge AOL did TODAY, is to get a free 30 day trial of AOL Assist. I have not used this service for YEARS and I am finally canceling it, WHY…

    I am trying to notify AOL that I became victim of a sales scam which I saw advertised as I was playing on the AOL Game website. The ad claimed to be a Walmart ad for handicap scooter 100 left, being sold off at a very discount price. I purchased 2 at a cost of $96.98 on 12/12/2031 The printout of my purchase came through as Walmart. However, when I checked my Bank credit card running balance the post did not say Walmart It read as follows: Pending:
    Paypal*JIAYUNKEJ18 JIAU. When it posted: charge officially to my account the…

  5. NOT POSTING MY REASONABLE POSTS. YOU ONLY POSTS RADICALIZING HATE SPEECH OBVIOUSLY FROM RUSSIANS & TROLLS WITHOUT OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND.

    I have been stopped from posting on your site for no apparent reason. I do not post hate speech. I had been responding to your Russian trolls who do post hate speech. When ever they are on you have a 600% inversion of "likes" to "dislikes" based on the "bombs" they have planted on your site. They all have the same keyword triggers or phrases they then overwhelm the comment sections with out and out hate speech, violence themes and every conceivable lie they can do over and over. They sign is as a "Guest" then post under 10 names…

    Installing the AOL Desktop Gold software as an Admin can have some adverse effects due to the installation location being different for Admin than a normal user. We recommended that you install the software as the same level user that will be launching the software each time.

  9. Not a friendly experience

    While trying to read the article about Queen Elizabeth, Those damned ads kept flopping around on the bottom right corner. You fool sure know
    how to ruin a person's day. I should quit writing these things because I doubt anyone reads them. I suppose it would just be better if I quit reading stuff on here. My days would surely be better. Just so you know, those ads do NOT get my business.

  10. Using AOL Help Page is Useless

    Using AOL Help Page is Useless

    Using the listings on the Help page are hopeless. When trying to look up exact words listed on your webpage or words listed in your toolbar and elsewhere, an unmanageable list appears. They are not in any type of order or group. The Search option is useless.

    For example, when I tried looking up Toolbar – Quick View, I finally stopped after going through 10 pages.
