AOL Outage in Chingford, Greater London, England

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.

AGREED! Every kid except me had nice shiny internet...we were stuck with that shitty AOL dialup that we were only allowed to use to play Cartoon Network games on if we were good 🥴

@AOLSupportHelp We have been going around in circles and the reason I’ve tweeted my issue is I can’t get anywhere because we’ve done all the security Q’s and still 0 - I need to speak with a human being.....

@aolmail I’ve been attempting to retrieve my wife’s AOL password for the past 10 or more emails with your supposed email support. Its merry go round getting nowhere. Please assist.

@AOL unable to sign into email for last week. No response from customer services. No one to talk to either😡😡Absolute joke. Important emails that I cannot access. AOL can you please get on to this. Beyond frustrating.

@reece_dinsdale The other two are "Welcome to AOL: you're connected!" and "Goodbye...th-that's it." Damn I need to put these on my new laptop!

@neilperkin You'd think they could find a fix. This used to happen with all AOL accounts showing up as 'Virginia' 20 years ago!

@teleject @meyerweb It kinda does though... With MSN Explorer (yes that was a thing in 2001, competing with AOL) we enabled "toast notifications" and the name was because "the little thing popped like the toast on the screensavers." Real toast never does that. It sits there. It sometimes Burns.

@1womanworkforce If he’s working from the aol ap I would delete it and reload. We had a problem with aol a while ago. The old Ap wasn’t working. Change the password just in case on your web version.

I was told by a rep ref. AOL: "it's a very old platform.." as if that was an excuse. If it doesn't work, they shouldn't take my money. @TalkTalk is a useless outfit too. I was called for months by fake Indian call centres after their data hack. My home internet sucks. @AOL @Ofcom

Utterly useless service from AOL/Yahoo/TalkTalk yet again following my complaint reference the breakdown/failure of their systems. So irritating when you pay for a service and don't get it. I was told by a rep ref. AOL: "it's a very old platform.." as if that was an excuse. @AOL

@for_options Wow it's only been an issue since AOL and Hotmail started but hey better late than never. Did Parliament get to many emails from pissed off bosses aka constituents

Some of y'all never had to wait for your sister to get off the phone so you could sign into AOL and it shows

@ClydeThaMonkey The other I can’t use as I can’t sign in under my old AOL email. It’s inactive

@justinslostleg He had that with McMahon (and I think to a lesser extent Prichard) in WWF, but when he didn’t have anyone to filter his ideas through in WCW it got him in trouble. He didn’t kill WCW (AOL/Time Warner was determined to do that regardless) but he didn’t do them any favors.

So apparently, Yahoo Answers! will be gone by May 4th. A big and unforgettable part of the early www dies. Gone are those days where MSN/AOL/ICQ ruled over the internet and there was little more to do in it than visit YAHOO/EBAY/NEWGROUNDS/SOMETHING AWFUL. Tempus Fugit.

@abideen63926609 Not paying you to get back into an account I can get back into for free but simply going through AOL support smh.

@mksc77 1995. I think we still had our first Mac that had like 8MB of hard drive space. We barely fit AOL on the damn thing. Nobody was youtubing, we were barely dialing up

@SailorSaturnRN Damn. That's why I always used aol instant messenger

@AOL Have you heard any negative responses to your most recent android build? Because it's pretty fckng awful. If I am looking at an email, and a new email comes in, it pulls me out of the email I am reading and into the email list. I also can't change my view mode to

@aolmail @AOLSupportHelp Are you having trouble with your email services right now?
