Update removed playing custom .wav files
Why did you have to change the desktop software to stream the .wav files? What good purpose did this serve? I had a very custom /wav file in place of the default welcome.wav that played the dial up noise followed by welcome and you broke it!!!!!!

Mailbox Not Working 6/29/2026 (Update Fixed at 8:58PM)
Browser works fine. Welcome and Goodbye work. But the email will not load. I have some unread mail in my AOL app and webmail but the desktop client will not show the emails and will not say You've Got Mail. This problem just started today on both my desktop and laptop computers. Is anyone having this same issue tonight?

Stop relocating the AOL icon on my desktop.
Stop relocating the AOL icon on my desktop. I have placed it just where it is most convenient for me. Please leave it alone. Not a big deal, but it is an irritant.

Afraid to update and see what's been screwed up that was working fine before the update
I am leery every time there is a new update anymore. Every time there is one it screws something that worked up. My email has been horrible with lag in opening, send a response, typing sentences since the last 2 updates. I am also so tired of seeing "AOL NOT RESPONDING: as I watch a blue circle spinning, see the "loading" little dots spinning. $17 plus a month for aggravation that is soon going to be cancelled, like you guys really seem to care less about. It's not my internet connect, have no issues with EDGE only AOL. Forget about…

Reporting Violations and Muting Trolls
For over a year, I've reported and complained about blatant violations of your Community Guidelines along with the inability to permanently mute apparent paid and/or alleged AOL employee trolls. One would expect if a violation is reported to receive notification whether or not it was approved or disapproved, but that doesn't happen. Further, there are trolls that post obvious lies and propaganda and beyond never getting an answer to violations, I never get an email or bell icon notification of their replies which leads me to believe these people are being protected. I'm unable to mute these people-even after muting…

Did AOL change the search engine because AI and other is lacking in the amount of information that was available to be accessed before. .

fix YGM sound
Are We ever going to get YGM sound back? Your tech people must not be to smart not to be able to fix 1 simple problem. We are paying for that service and not getting Our monies worth. At least tell AOL members if We are going to get it back or NOT. My next step to to contact AOL HQ's.
