AOL Outage in Hackney, Greater London, England

@benjedwards school library had a dial-up modem (probably 9600 baud) to ISP through school district. At home was local ISP as AOL/Compuserve/etc. never had local numbers for me.

@Miss_Snuffy Self pity finds many friends online from the earliest days of community forums up to today's toxic social media. "Share your support" we used to say at AOL and people did and lots was valuable, but a deep streak of 'alternative truth' bedded down there too to solicit attention.

@Suvvo @AOL I’m having same problem… think it’s worldwide

@aolmail are you considering replying to this tweet? I’ve had another response from AOL ‘support’ team which is useless. Please DM today.

@aolmail A family member has received the most appalling customer service from #aol. Utterly shocking. All she wants to do is reset the password as she’s been locked out & the response was effectively, go away and set up another account. She has replied, but I’m not happy.

@AOLSupportHelp hi there having trouble accessing my emails at the moment , I’ve tried to reset my password and it won’t allow me to , could you help?

@AOLSupportHelp hi we have forgotten our aol@password tried to recover it but can’t, have no recovery details set up help please

When it first arrived — and I made a blog there within the first two months of its public existence — @tumblr was the near perfect blogging platform. Then AOL destroyed it. Now it’s a horrible jail where I can’t get rid of this dumb screen. Thanks @automatic.

The first PlayStation came out, and Macs transitioned to Power PC. AOL is launched. Amazon was founded. Microsoft announces it will no longer sell or support the MS-DOS operating system separately from Microsoft Windows

@KwakuMMNT 112 by default. Jagged Edge were broadcasting to us using 2001 AOL dial up. Horrible signal.

Although I have re-installed @AOLSupportHelp on iPhone I am still receiving “wrong password” messages. Puzzling that all’s well on iPad & laptop! Help!!!

@aolmail @AOL @AOLSupportHelp having rectified the continual WRONG PASSWORD notice, today it’s back again but only on my iPhone 7+, not on my iPad which is working perfectly. HELP!

@AOLSupportHelp Hi Guys, password prompt now so frequent; every time I open my AOL email account. Please ask your engineers to fix quickly. Thanks so much.

Weird today on @AOL receiving all emails on iPhone but iPad still saying “wrong password”. Password same on both devices! Help!!!

Still having intermittent trouble sending/receiving emails on my @AOL account. Updated password on AOL via Safari; it works. Does not work through my normal email channel either sending or receiving. Systems don’t seem to share info - help!

@AOLSupportHelp Did send it but still having same problem!

@yungcontent And Bebo never sells to AOL

Recurring @AOL password problem; keeps telling me “incorrect password” again; had same problem a month ago. When I input password it is accepted for a short while then same message appears again; infuriating! HELP!!!

@NW6Rd You've just reminded me my contract is up with my absolutely appalling @SkyUK broadband. It's so slow it's like AOL dial-up

@AOL after weeks of “wrong password” still having major problems with AOL! Seems email & via Safari not joined up. Worrying as I’m in middle of negotiations! Help!

@AOLSupportHelp hello, I used to have an AOL email address several years ago however i rarely used it. i went to sign in today and it's gone... I can't even make the email account again w the same name. I NEED this email account ASAP for a sign-in. Help please

@dfvalenta2 @georgehahn Never had casual Fridays when I was at the law firm. But, at Time Warner I think we dropped the coat and tie Friday requirements in '94 (maybe). By the time I made it to AOL a few years later, at least half the gang was in tee shirts & blue jeans — every day.

@kristinkuffner **** this double digit IQ curve is real. I mean this is really such a basic concept. Not even unique to humans. Heck, education aside, there's period porn ffs. This is so backwards, how does he get online even? I miss the old AOL days when getting online was still an IQ test.

@dam5s Despite being burned out on MVVM and my dislike of the built-in page routing, Xamarin is fine. My problems mostly revolve around the barriers put in place by Apple and their walled AOL garden.

I'm an elder millennial. My skills include dialing a rotary phone, properly loading a floppy disk, not losing my **** when I have flashbacks of the AOL dial-up tone, and having entire conversations using only GIFs.

Im not telling anybody what to do but the chances that you will be taken seriously from a hotmail, aol or yahoo email address in 2022 is very slim *****. That **** is going straight to spam.

@BallouxFrancois The article doesn't actually take any strong stances. It just says there should be debate. And it hints at one of the real problems online: the fact that sites are immunized from normal accountability by a special law that was crafted by the sites themselves (Prodigy & AOL)...

@onionheart_ @TheCiscoKidder **** I still have an aol email that I could use from the old dial up days. But I’m much older than that even.

Whenever I have a customer with an AOL email address, I just know it’s going to be drama.
