How can we improve AOL Help?

Switc back to Classic AOL

I am having a lot of problems with the New AOL. The Classic AOL was MUCH BETTER!
FIRST - I cannot find the Times Roman Font that I need to use to submit my poetry. I cannot find Ariel Font either.
WHY DID YOU REMOVE the two most popular fonts for submitting literature?

ALSO:
I tried to get my classic AOL back and was told that it was no longer available.
In Fact ... I am having problems with the new AOL. When I copy & paste my work to submit (poems) they all paste as double-spaced, then I have to go back and reformat everything. It is a lot of extra work and time and I HATE IT! Is there a way to copy and paste where it will not do that [double space lines that are not wrapped]?
I know how to fix it after the fact, but it is extra work

WHY does it past double-spaced? IT never did that with the classic AOL?

The entire system SUCKS now. I might have to stop being a paying customer and switch to a more user-friendly email I have been with AOL for a very long time, and I am an ANGRY customer!

    So this person above pays for AOL and still has these issues -well there's the answer to if I pay can I get back to decent service. NOPE.

    First place most everything is going into Spam-I am missing valuable information and wasting time-so this is not just about advertising. You want to advertise and make $ that way?( put it up top -, do not block the sides off so it can not print full pages. If it's money you want- how do I know this will not continue if I pay? And if I am to pay , why not update my email to yahoo or gmail instead? Aol dates me-anyway so I may just have to go to another ...if I don't have any information on why you have ruined this company I will change tomorrow and this will be secondary only until I move every contact. I have had it...

    Yeah i agree i dont like it either.They got rid of the buddy list and the chatrooms.

  • Jamie Lethcoe commented  ·   ·  Report

    this is stupid. i have been trying to get a 'CODE' to my email and it NEVER comes (to identify I'm really who i say i am). so ridiculous. the code NEVER comes no matter how many times i hit "resend". i'm at my witt's end with this dang aol!

  • Harvey DAHLJELM commented  ·   ·  Report

    Having been a AOL user for two DECADES without a problem, today, all of a sudden, I can NOT SEND nor reply to emails I receive. I can write the email text and save the draft, but I cannot reply to any emails I receive because the normal SEND button is gone making it useless.

    If I cannot retrieve my old AOL I will switch to a mail service more compatible to my enjoyment

  • MARINE CORBIN commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't like the new AOL mail, like classic better. I hate it, hate it

  • Pamella Cox commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm a Senior and I have a flip phone and I prefer the old AOL format. Thanks

  • CYNTHIA BRAMBERG commented  ·   ·  Report

    I AGREE COMPLETELY. THIS "NEW" FORMAT IS JUST PLAIN BAD. tHERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT THAT ITS UNBELIEVABLE THAT YOU APPARENTLY HAVE NO PLANS TO LISTEN TO THE COMPLAINTS AND WILL STICK TO THIS FORMAT WHETHER OR NOT YOUR LONGTIME CUSTOMERS AGREE. I'D FIRE THE PERSON OR PERSONS WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A SWELL IDEA. GUESS I HAVE TO RESEARCH A NEW BROWSER (AS I THINK A LOT OF PAID CUSTOMERS WILL DO)

  • Theresa Forsyth commented  ·   ·  Report

    Oh I forgot to mention there is no way to change the font and line spacing in the supposely old version

  • Theresa Forsyth commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree this new AOL sucks to the highest level. When I delete any of my emails they then go into my history and I have to go into history and delete them again. Isn't that a wonderful feature of the new AOL. What happened to the keep as new character? Why do I have to click on an arrow to get any kind of request? Can I PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE my old basic back?

  • GARY MARMORSTEIN commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm having the same problem. Why make it so difficult, if not impossible, to revert to standard (or classic) AOL formatting? The push for the new (or basic) AOL formatting feels arbitrary and thoroughly unhelpful.

  • Administrative Assistant commented  ·   ·  Report

    NOT IMPRESSED with the "new" AOL. I want to switch back to CLASSIC AOL or I'll start using GMAIL.

  • KEVIN LASH commented  ·   ·  Report

    HOW CAN I SWITCH BACK TO CLASSIC MAIL? PLEASE!!!

  • Music Music commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'D LIKE TO SWITCH BACK TO CLASSIC MAIL.
    NOT BASIC. NOT ADVANCED. CLASSIC MAIL!!!

  • Music Music commented  ·   ·  Report

    HOW CAN I SWITCH BACK TO CLASSIC MAIL? PLEASE!!!

  • Michael Parrino commented  ·   ·  Report

    This new format is terrible. I can't find, how to clear/delete e-mail history and searches.

  • RUTH ROLLINS commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is there a way to return to the old classic aol, and if so, please publish the way it can be done.

  • PAUL SETTELMEYER commented  ·   ·  Report

    you are making it very difficult to find how to switch back to the old aol
