FIX IT!
YOUR SOFTWARE ****! The lastest is trying to use "insert a hyperlink." Nothing pastes to the box and it pastes (as a bunch of characters and not as a link) to the email whenever it feels like it. TERRIBLE, AWFUL, AMATUER SOFTWARE.
Go to mail.aol.com, click on Options and go to Mail Settings.
In the left panel click on Compose and check the Use Rich Text / HTML Editing box.
If the issue persists, email us at aolmailquestions@aol.com

On the weather you report it in Cenigrade, I believe we use Fahrenheit. Why are you so stupid?
On the weather you report it in Cenigrade, I believe we use Fahrenheit. Why are you so stupid? Never in my life have I seen such an incompetent bunch of idiots as you at AOL. Since Oath took over too much has gone downhill. It is only getting worse, not better.
AOL should be paying us and not the other way around.Please access weather report on aol.com and under the search bar, you should have two option: F and C. Select F which is from Fahrenheit.

Stop profane and racial slurs in the game chat rooms.
The games are great. However the chat rooms are excessively profane and full of racial slurs Please give warnings to those offending. Especially Just words and Hearts.
If you are having an issue within a game chat, please review the following guidelines:
1. Ignore them. People feed off of your reaction. If we ignore them they won’t get the rush they need and they’ll go away.
2. Use the Flag feature in chat. Hover over the right of the comment where the 3 dots in a line are, then click the flag and submit the report.

AOL/Verizon Mail —
I use AOL/Verizon e-mail. To receive my mail I use Outlook (Mac) for my desktop email client. My setting is to NOT leave a copy of my mail on the server. Up until this week that worked fine.
Now rather then follow the instruction the AOL server leaves a copy in the trash. This is unacceptable because, if I got into my I-phone mail or my iPad mail all the trash items download into my email application. This uses up my data plan and causes a lot of extra work to delete the trash items that total in the hundreds…
Check the Incoming mail server settings in your email application, and make sure they match the IMAP/POP settings in the section titled “Update server settings” from the following help article: https://help.aol.com/articles/how-do-i-set-up-other-email-applications-to-send-and-receive-my-verizon-net-mail
The incoming and outgoing mail servers require SSL enabled for all ports, and also the username field in the account setup, needs to contain your full email address, including @verizon.net at the end.
In case your server settings are correct, open the link below (and sign in if necessary), and make sure the option “Allow apps that use less secure sign-in” is turned ON.
https://login.aol.com/account/security
After this turning ON this option, check if your mail application is able to connect. If the problem persists, verify if the “Two-step verification” option on the Account Security page (the URL above) is turned ON or OFF.
In case this feature is turned ON, you will have to create a…

Why is AOL the only service that has certificate pop-ups every 2 seconds?
Why is AOL the only service that has certificate pop-ups every 2 seconds?
Certificate issues are caused in many cases by the incorrect date/time on your computer or an outdated browser. Please check the date/time on your system, and make sure they are correct. If this is not the case, you will need to update your browser to the latest version or install another browser if there are no updates available for your default one.

Often the best, quickest way to fix a problem with sending an email is to simply try sending it again.
If that doesn’t work and you continue to see “The message was not sent because of an error”, you should verify that the letters “AOL” or “A.O.L.” are not part of your account’s Display Name as this will cause issues with sending mail from your account.
If you’ve recently recovered a compromised account, be aware that spammers sometimes change an account’s Display Name. It’s worth checking. Here’s how:
1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of Mail, then select Mail Settings.
2. In the column on the left, click Compose, then scroll down to the Display Name area in the middle of the page. If the name has AOL or A.O.L. in it, change it to avoid problems sending email from the account.
3. When you’re done, click…

By making sure that the Weather at AOL.com is correct. For quite some time, the weather foreast for Danvers, MA 01923 has been incorrect.
Please correct the forecast to show the correct temperatures. It's been showing ridiculous temperatures like, for example, 22 degrees when it's really in the 80s and 90s. For Danvers, MA 01923, the temps have been incorrect for a while now.
Sounds like you might have the weather set up to show the temperature in Celsius degrees instead of Fahrenheit degrees. Please go to your weather report and in the top center of the page, you will have two options, click the F option.

Maybe stop trying to suppress conservative ideas and comments ????
Every time I post on the message boards you guys either kick my computer off the website or you do something to make it SO SLOW WHEN I TYPE something it makes me not want to finish the thought. But I finish it anyway just because you're not going to silence me !!!!! You guys are petty in the ways you try to silence an opposing view. A couple years ago I didn't have this problem and now you guys have weaponized your message boards to make things hard to get an opposing view across !! When I post something…
