AOL - Create A One page only sign on screen
Set up a single (yes, just one and ONLY one) page sign on screen.
Currently, there is a maximum of seven possible sign on ID's for an account.
Also, asking for an agreement to terms of service each time a feedback is written is unnecessary. I believe that just using aol is an affirmation to accepting TOS every time aol is accessed by a user.
List them vertically, all on one single page. Yes, they will all fit. Pair each one with a blank box underneath the supplied Sign on ID, to allow entry of the password that matches…

"You've got Mail" but wait 2 minutes for it to respond and show you what it is, "Can't send now, try another time" yet the **** adds keep popping up. 71 headlines, but more that 1/2 are over a week or more old and don't even try to read someithing from oneof the partners you have to look on 25 pages of ads to find/complete reading the story! I know, I know, you'll merge this some other…

AOL GOLD IS SO SLOW ITS NEAR UNUSABLE
AOL GOLD IS CLUMSY, SLOW, CUMBERSOME, INEFFICIENT AND STILL CONTAINS MANY GLITCHES WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED MANY MONTHS AGO, LIKE LAST YEAR. AOL GOLD LOCKS UP YOUR COMPUTER REQUIRING CONTROL-ALT-DELETE FREQUENTLY. AND, SOMETIMES THE LOCK IS SO COMPLETE THAT EVEN THAT WILL NOT WORK. THE COMPUTER MUST BE OUTRIGHT POWERED OFF AT THE MAIN SWITCH. THAT'S PRETTY BAD. AOL GOLD FREQUENTLY CRASHES THE PROGRAM REQUIRING COMPUTER REBOOT. ITS THE ONLY ONLINE PROGRAM I KNOW OF THAT DOES THIS. IT IS FAR FROM COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7, VISTA AND OTHERS. ADD TO THIS THOSE IDIOTIC AOL SERIALIZED NEWS STORIES WHICH…

Browser no good. Getting blank pages.
Browser no good. Getting blank pages. This is happening too often with random sites that I try to go to. Many times after trying to access a URL I get a blank white page and the site will not come up. At other times I get a blank black page for seconds, and then a white blank page before the site finally appears.
There is nothing wrong at my end. Do not tell me to clear my browser or call an AOL tech. I do not have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.

AOL Gold won't display pictures in emails even when box to notify me before opening mail with pix is unchecked.
The AOL Desktop Gold software is not displaying pictures in emails even though I have the "Notify me before opening mail containing pictures" box unchecked. If I reply to the email informing the sender I didn't get the pictures, the sender tells me the pictures are right there in my reply. And if I open the email on mail.aol.com, the pictures are indeed there. Increasingly, there is no reason whatsoever to use the AOL software. It won't do nearly as much as previous versions did and it's full of bugs. I often have trouble even sending, opening, or moving mail…

Better security
I was approached by a person saying they would fix my Desktop gold and they took over my computer and scammed me out of $2000 .I'm filling out fraud forms at my bank today. We closed all accounts and I have a computer man coming today to clean out my computer. This has cost me a lot of monies.

We would like to report this our specialized team internally in order to prevent this from happening again going forward. If possible, can you provide us with the phone number that was used to contact you and any identification details?

Product Support, AOL did not pay attention to photo problem
Product Support, AOL responded (then closed comments so I couldn't respond) "You can use drag and drop feature or right click and insert picture". This is correct however try to get the email to leave with a photo in it. It will take a long time and then error message pops up saying try later, no matter how small or how few photos in said email. No matter how many times I try to send it. Photos as attachments will go, but defects the purpose of being able to crop a photo and send it. Two new computers behave the…

Need To Fix This or I'm going to leave AOL
Every time I go to Ebay this is what I get "Failed to load URL https://www.ebay.com/ with error ERRTOOMANY_REDIRECTS (TooManyRedirects)." If this doesn't get fixed I will be looking for a new Internet service. Aol now is HORRIBLE!!! I have been with Aol every since I had a computer which I think was 1998 and I can't understand why it was messed with when it was working fine as it was. What good is it if you can't go to the site you want to go to!!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our product team has investigated. Unfortunately, this is an eBay issue as you can see in their community:
https://community.ebay.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Err-Too-many-redirects/td-p/27276588
From an AOL side you can try clearing the cache from your settings which will restart AOL Desktop Gold, however until the underlying issue is resolved, you will still likely run into the issue sometimes.
Thank you!

Transferring data
I attempted to copy everything I have in AOL 9.8.0 on my Windows 7 desktop to AOL Gold on my new Windows 10 computer. Everything moved without any problem
except "Mail waiting to be sent." I am told by your tech department that it is not possible. That is hard to accept! My wife has years of writings in "Mail waiting to be sent" that are now useless unless I keep the old computer. I believe AOL should write the code to facilitate this move for its long time customers. This is extremely frustrating for our business, especially… -
