Why do I have to wait 4-6 minutes for some lousy, unwanted ad to appear before I can complete logon or any other action??? I don't want to see any ads. I have "opted out of all ads" previously, but it doesn't mean anything to you!

And your Customer Service telephone response is horrible ---- my experience is that even if I hang on and wait for a representative to answer for more than a half an hour ---nothing, no one responds to the call! Your service is getting disgusting --- and I'm paying for it!!!! Thanks for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is it that every time I sign into my AOL account I have to also type in my AOL password? I didn't have to until a few weeks ago, why now? I usually could get into AOL without supplying the password after the initial sign in as long as I didn't shut down the computer.

This has become a pain in the ass. Crap like this usually happens right after an up date by AOL.

I finally thought I had McAfee back what a joke still have all the same problems Can not return you to AOL Lots of error message.

It is sad to see the AOL news becoming so biased and politicized with regard to Donald Trump. I have been 15 years with AOL , but it looks like it is - time to move on. I do not need a provider bombarding me with selective political garb - I have enough from the rest of the media.

You will get no revenue from me with the ads you run on your so-called "news" features. If I must read page after page of ads to see what the most dangerous, cheapest, happiest "whatever" city in the United States is - I will not go beyond the first page.

Why not let us see the answer and then give us the option to read the rest, including the ads? I'd rather read my newspaper, inky mess and all, than see 10 pages of garbage. com - and I am s till paying a monthly fee, so I am LOYAL at least.

I do appreciate having had the opportunity of using the "white list" for 20+ years for a senior citizens newsletter for our rv park in Texas, but due to eyesight problems along with arthritic fingers will be giving that up soon. I am really not happy with aol gold desktop either.

Hope you will be…

You made me upgrade to your new product. NO ONE in the history of the internet has ever required that of a paying customer, and then given them an inferior product. Here it is, December 9th and I still cannot print address labels as I have done for the past 5 years or so.

Why would you insist your paying customers upgrade their aol version that has less functionality. Why do I continue to pay you a monthly fee for the privilege of using your product? I want my money back!!

Now I cannot put anything in MY FAVORITES, it does not show up in the My Favorites.

Unable to list mail, wait 5 minutes, has been going on a long time. I have reported it numerous times. Not only inconvenient but extremely time consuming.

You can Sign in with correct username/password and their convoluted page comes up with: Alert We have detected unusual activity on this account and for your security are temporarily blocking access. To regain access to this account, please change your password.

You can't change password w/o the next step of security question answered 15+ yrs. ago!!! Geez who can remember that far back? In a nutshell, you can't change your password w/o remembering the answer to security question. If you click can't remember answer to security question, you're SOL.

There's absolutely no help from the morons at customer service. How stupid is that? You're permanently locked out of your account! How many other companies do this? Thank goodness no one else does this. If I could do a minus 10 I would- AOL…

I have been an AOL user for over 20 years and actually paid for the service for a long time. I am extremely dissatisfied with the email service and believe that AOL is intentionally blocking email access and the ability to send emails. I will be researching what other action can be taken against aol as they are causing me a great hardship!

We have been experiencing problems accessing our mail for a few days. A call was made to aol support. On speaking to someone who said he was a technician, he stated that our internet was being compromise by hackers from Russia, China, and here in USA.

I asked him why did he not inform us. 99. I found this very suspicious and proceeded not to accept this, based on his not informing us and then the cost he was asking. I made another call and spoke to another technician who told me differently.

In the past we have had persons from or stated that they were from aol who stated we were experiencing problems and unless we pay to have them fixed, we would have internet issues. Question : are some of your tech support maliciously creating problems internet wise so they can rob customers?.

Why if…

Downloaded aol gold two weeks ago. will not let me reply to emails. went on chat with "alice c". she imediately closed the chat box and started to do a number of things to my computer as she was not resolving the problem quickly.

I brought up the text box to try and typed and she repeatedly stepped on my attempts to chat. I finally got the word "STOP" typed in and asked her what in the world is wrong with her. I then told here I still have the old version of aol on my computer thinking this my causing the problem.

She typed "let me do my work" and blew me off. I had to disconnect her. I have now been waiting to talk to someone at aol for over 15 minutes and still no help. Not a happy camper with AOL Gold nor the AOL support what so ever.

I loved my old AOL. I had it for years and loved it. People always laughed because I was still using it but it was fast and easy. I loved my fav places, I love the ease of using the email. I just loved everything.

GOLD SUCKS. It is soooo slow. I hate the ads on my email...actually, I hate everything about it. Why do companies feel like they always have to change something that works perfectly? Windows XP is another example. It was by far the best version ever, but did they keep it? Or let me keep it? Oh, no, it had to go. And now my AOL is gone, too.

And I may be right behind it.

I have been an aol customer for a few years and this might be my last. My grandson has been telling me for a long time to get rid of aol, and now I think he is right. I only have 24 hours in a day, and to have to spend several hours on the phone waiting for someone to answer and finally I get someone who cannot help me, then

calling back again waiting for a long period of time and then get disconnected is not the way to run a business. There was a time when aol was a valued company and I should have sold the stock instead of holding on to it and watched it go down to be practically worthless.

I also should have realized at that time, to keep using the company as my internet provider was a total waste of my valuable time and money. aol gold is a total disaster, and the technicians and all…

Customer in Germany 1996-2000, since then AOL USA but now again in Germany. 2 was the best product. 99 monthly. Must update to GOLD. Problems: Welcome Screen German language with a mix of German and English commercials. Rough 4000 stored incoming emails in approximately 50 folders; all folders are gone, hopless to find what you want.

As well outgoing mail folders has disappeared, only the mails are still there. Favorites still exist, but since a few weeks I can't forward to friends; sometimes message "coming soon". com in the Goggle Browser, type my password and then I get San Diego/CAs temperatures, news and of course can download and write emails too.

But, this log in without the US-Welcome Screen! I've sent emails to AOL and chats too; their recommendation didn't work. after 21 years.…

I'm getting pretty sick of you trying to drown and down Donald Trump. You are part of a follower group it seems and you have no idea that communism and socialism is what you will get if you lose Trump.

There will be no news networks under communism and for some reason you people can't figure that out. There will be no freedoms. Donald Trump might not be the most likeable person there is, but he didn't need the job, the money, the fame, the experience, to apply for this job.

The majority of Americans love liberty and want a US government that provides freedom and development. You don't have to like Trump and I'm not a fan of his character but he is the only thing keeping your family and your lifestyle continuous.

If you would please drop your anti Trump reputation and news slanted toward…

Tis continued (with “Jay”, and then using other? screen names) for about, another few months I BLAME AOL with him/her changing their S/N and still harassing me, calling me (and others users) Then about two weeks ago, this person re-appeared using the S/N “ELmandingo”) 0i9619, WHEN HE /SHE THEN POSTED MY NAME, MY AGE.

I now have 71 emails in my spam folder from both shark tank and dr oz. There is no way of my unsubscribing. I've tried since forced into aol from Verizon (I say forced because it's the only site I could keep my username) Can you tell me why they are the only spam that I can't reach the site to unsubscribe.

How can you allow this to happen and not address it. These aol complaint sites have done nothing as far as i'm concerned to help us.

09/09/17 i migrated from verizon email (was forced over ) they are dropping email support and sent me to aol ( not good) to keep my email address. i lost 3 days of email service afterward but aol staff refused to help me till i paid for tech service.

on 10/10/17 i gave in, i paid for what they call tech service; 1hour to verify i paid before they would help . 3 hours with tech to find out they know less than i do about email on moza thunder bird ,so trouble not fixed.

i left them with an open case # which they wont call me nor send me email with fix (if they knew). for this i had to pay them a tech service fee for each month. its all about money and nothing in return.

I recently contacted AOL about a recurring problem with my account deleting certain email contact list. In the past yr this had happen 5-6 times, and before now they could fix it,, although it did re-occur.

However this time when the same thing occurred the consultant could not fix it and even when I asked to speak to someone else, she said that no one could help me, even though someone had fixed the problem before. I have been a paying customer with aol for over 20yrs and this is ridiculous.

They consultant was an idiot .

For over two days now, both incoming and outgoing e-mails are sporadically not going through. I've spoken with tech support repeatedly (names & ID # s available) and only gotten a run around. Being told we know there's a problem and you'll just have to wait until we fix it is not customer service.

i was promised a call back within 24-48 hours with an update; needles to say, never got one. How does one actually engage with someone, anyone who can fix the problem?
