BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL FORMAT
Stop removing innocent comments. Original posters have disappeared, but yet new ones are allowed to comment. I have reported the issue of disappearing comments through proper channels on 20 occasions but nothing has changed. Seems original members are not important now, Victimisation at its best. Time to move on where members are catered for,

new welcome page layout
The new front page/welcome page layout is the tackiest piece of mess. It is virtually useless. Bring back the old layout or give us the choice of reverting to the old one. This thing is tacky and useless. The brief summary of the story is a big plus. I want it back. I want news not big pictures, I am not Trump who only "reads" pictures. The old version was great just as it was. If something is not broken, don't fix it. What you just created is unmentionable word

f I write a document in, say, Word, and copy it to an email, why does the line spacing, and indents, have to go haywire?
if I write a document in, say, Word, and copy it to an email, why does the line spacing, and indents have to go haywire?
Why can I not select the font, and size, of text in the new arrangement? I can only get a small number of options, 'tiny, small, Large, x-Large and Huge' and Modern, Modern Wide, Classic, Classic Wide, Courier New, Garamond and Lucida Console. A poor choice, which has already compromised by business address (see below) which looks awful now.

Get back to the previous version of emails
My Signature (used for 30 years) went haywire after your recent changes. I cannot reduce the wide line spacing or use the same font/colour I had previously. Why can't such simple tasks be available? Why have I had to waste so much time trying to get back to the status quo? The whole things is out of hand. One shouldn't change systems until they have been rigorously tested.

Permit me to save any e-mail directly to my PC just as I always have done, with rich text, then later, with html after AOL was sold off.

Stop blocking users from posting comments, when they did NOTHING wrong.
Far too long users are abusing the reporting tool to silence users who make good points. Look at my posts blocked AOL. Go for it. You will see logical, respectful comments, that are honest and true. Yet every time I post 5 mins later I am told I can't comment anymore because my comments have been blocked by too many.
So saying "MAGA needs to stop with the blind devotion" is a violation of the community standards?. I checked the TOS and it said it was fine to post.
Unless free speech is no longer welcome on your platform. If…

How to access replies????
How about putting a place at the top of the comments page so a person can find replies to comments? Why is this so hard?
I cannot access any replies because I can't find out where they are? They used to go to email, where are they now? A simple link at the top of each comments page would be great!93rd ranked -

By making it possible for one to create an 'alias' email address of one's choice. For instance, this can very easily be done by Mail.Com.
Make it possible for one to create an "Alias" AOL email address, as say at: www.mail.com/ where one merely writes in an alias email and can then switch between the main email address, and your alias email address. (I am surprised that for so very many years on the Internet, AOL has not done this; whilst Mail.com and other recent platforms can so easily do this. [By the way, I am NOT CRITICISING you. I am merely surprised]. :)!

Alert system doesn't work correctly.
Whenever I click on an alert that someone liked or responded to my comment, it brings up the story, then the comment, then it kicks it back to other comments and condenses the one I got the alert for. Basically, any comment with more than a few comments ends up hidden and I have to click "more comments" a dozen times and find the comment again to respond.

AOL app not working with new Samsung Android 13 dowload
AOL needs to update phone app for Android 13. Samsung pushed new Android 13 and the AOL email app works horribly. When replying to a messsage, the message repeatedly drops to the bottom of the original message. After scrolling back to the top and typing a few words, it drops again. Repeat and repeat. There are also small little characters on each line, a small box with obj in it. Reinstalling the app is the only thing the help desk knows to do. It does not work, trust me, we have tried multiple times, just hoping AOL did an update.…

Autofill email addresses started in TO: box at top of email when sending messages. This feature stopped in my account about 2 months ago?
Why has this very timesaving feature stopped happening, I've been told by your Helpdesk this updated version of the AOL product doesn't support this feature? What, please revert to offering it. Thanks. Wendy

Sort out Groupe emails.
When I make a Group, of contacts, some names list Christian name first, some with Surname. Stupid and irritating. The list, by default, is based on email address, which is stupid. There ought to be options available, of base it on some sense.

Check other accounts from AOL mail
Add ability to check outside mail accounts. I have an outside mail account that I would like to be able to check and manage through my AOL mail. Currently if I forward mail from this outside account into my AOL mail I start getting blocked due to some spam that is received at this other address. Adding the ability to check outside accounts allows the mail to come into my AOL account without being marked as spam.

Database timing
I often note a a pop up saying new post, yet when I go to the post it is three minutes old and therefore out of synch from the service, this happens at anytime, and needs to be resolved for sanity sake. We know that the values have posted so the reporting to us needs to be brought back up to nearly full speed.
