AOL Outage in Balham, 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.

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!

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 🥴

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

CompuServe when I first got online in 1995, MSN Messenger, the very occasional foray into Usenet. Tried AOL, ICQ, a few others. But never enjoyed them. Had both AIM and Yahoo Meseenger But only very rarely used them.

@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.

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp Still not working 😠

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp I'm the same Julie. The app I'm using won't let me sign in

I think we should all download AIM again. But like @AOL shut it down. Can we get something similar? I miss the sound of the door opening.

@nypost @LevineJonathan AOL will do as she is told. She won the $175k a year Congressional lottery and she wants to keep that money rolling in. that's how Nancy controls her frillies and that's how the banks control Nancy (just a bigger payout and Epstein tapes) can't fix this rot, it's muck #secede

@Sade__Xo Girl you better hop on that dial up service and get on AOL AIM like it's 1999

@hackerb0t reminds me of trying to cancel AOL after a trial one time. they said "you have so many options at AOL you can decide not to use it" yeah i called again.

@daxafina @3DotThought I spent 14 years as online staff (mainly as a Guide) on Q-Link and AOL. We had to behave, even in our personal accounts. I long ago developed a habit of saying things out loud but not typing them or typing and then deleting. I call it "Smiling from the wrists down." #ForgedInFire

@multibaggerbaba Yes, which is why I probably wouldn’t agree with a lax accounting change. We saw what could happen in the 1990s with AOL and others aggressively capitalizing customer acquisition!

My mom and grandmas group chat just translated to: Gma-“its the living in the boonies for me” Mom-“its the getting talked into dish network for me” Me-“its the yahoo and aol email accounts for me” Lol why do we just roast eachother so nonchalantly at all times

@meSonyaB bad immune systems refusal to self isolate poor diet poor genetics take your pick. why did the 164,000 think they didnt have to self isolate as asked? did they get the virus over AOL? LOL

my aol email (that i never use anymore but is still tied to gish) was getting nothing but random **** i didn’t care about so i delete it up until the couple weeks leading up and week of gish and then my email was BOMBARDED with all of these gish related emails and now that it’s

@ThaneEconomou @JimJarmuschHair Honestly this entire time I thought AOL was saying "You got mail" and as you learned last night, I had never seen that movie until, well, last night.
