All you need do is go to your account page and cancel the paying membership and say you want it FREE. Tho AOL should tell you this-THEY DON'T- and will keep taking your money monthly unless you cancel your paid membership.You do not lose any email accounts and everything stays the same. The ONLY reason to keep paying monthly ( I was paying $11.95 per month) is that you get LIVE PHONE SUPPORT (which I never used in 10 years). If you cancel your paid mebership you will have to email about any AOL problems you have instead of the live support from Pakistan). Also ...just turn on the 'pop-up blocker' and you won't get any unwanted ads EVER. It works 100% of the time for me. I am a complete technophobe and know nothing about computers. This is an easy fix for you. If I can do it anyone can. Hope this helps.]]>Jan 2nd 2010 3:21PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/02/web-sites-that-fell-in-the-aughts/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/02/web-sites-that-fell-in-the-aughts/]]>Jan 2nd 2010 12:49AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/02/web-sites-that-fell-in-the-aughts/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/02/web-sites-that-fell-in-the-aughts/Nothing ever got better. Features vanished, but AOL to busy to remove the selection tabs.
Have you ever tried to convert a "pfc" type files?
"Are you sure you want to delete that email?"
Check out the evils of Viewpoint.
That was the last straw for me!
Why are there hidden settings? I found the "Viewpoint trick" in some article from 2006.

Open AOL and go to "help" on the toolbar. Select "About AOL". Next is the SECRET STEP. You must then press "CTRL+D" to access a "secret" panel to disable all of the desktop and IM fancy features that are associated with viewpoint. This is the only way to prevent AOL from re-installing Viewpoint at AOL startup.

They are bad on purpose, and they don't care.
Start weaning yourself off AOL now because the end is near....]]>Jan 2nd 2010 6:07AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/02/web-sites-that-fell-in-the-aughts/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/02/web-sites-that-fell-in-the-aughts/Jan 2nd 2010 9:18AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/02/web-sites-that-fell-in-the-aughts/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/02/web-sites-that-fell-in-the-aughts/Jan 3rd 2010 12:44PM
