AOL Outage in Bexleyheath, 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.

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!!!

@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!

I’ve been with AOL all my internet life. Just recently it keeps telling me my password is wrong; I put the same password in again & it’s alright for a while. Today emails appear then suddenly vanish, is @AOL trying to dismiss me. Help!

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 🥴

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

@desert_starr_57 Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: Deep down 'Big Tech' ~HATES~ user generated content except as a means to an end -- cornering market share. The goal is an Internet like how AOL was about 20 years ago -- You pay a subscription for commercial filled content from big media.

@ImSpooky2 @RichLux713 What crime has Jeffree committed? I still haven’t seen one bad thing he did decide to call that white woman who called him a fa**ot the N-word... in 2006... when I had the n-word on my *AOL public profile* in song lyrics. And yes my avatar looks like me.

@AlexWoodroe (What's more idiotic is to ever work for AOL. I'll never sign a contract with them again.)

@AOLSupportHelp You are pissing me off You will not accept my password Fix Fix Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@peacefuldiana79 Damn, those were the DAYS! That AOL dial-up. Getting disconnected when someone picked up the phone to use it. Before cell phones really existed. Bring. Me. Back.

@agraybee i have been aware of magic internet money for a very long time and i have not seen any use case that other stuff couldn't do better, AOL could have been better but it provided a service that people liked and some people have nostalgia for

@BrainOrigami @paulkrugman It looks stupid with 20/20 hindsight, but in 1998 ~half of all homes w/internet access were using AOL to get it and we were 9 years away from the first iPhone.

@PadConnelly @amaral @nberlat AOL sold people a service for a while even if it could have been better magic internet money doesn't even do that

**** this computer. I'm taking my dumbs to sleep. It's past my bedtime my *****. This is how I used to be on AOL chat with my ex-boyfriend. My dumbass ain't wanna sound stupid on our silent *** fax machine phone calls when I was Never Years Old. Lol.

@jdcmedlock guess what sherlock, i did own many pieces of AOL. they mailed them to my house in paper envelopes. all sorts of colors, tho i never asked
