Where are my Favorite Places? This is a common question we have been asked by several users in the last few months as we launched myAOL which includes the new myAOL Favorites product. First of all, your "Favorite Places" are safe and sound and can be accessed by using the AOL desktop client. Secondly, myAOL Favorites bookmarks are equivalent to a "Favorite Place" in the AOL desktop client software but are currently not saved in the same place as "Favorite Places." Your myAOL Favorites are saved for access from the Web on any computer that you sign into myAOL from, while your "Favorite Places" are part of the AOL desktop client software and are accessible from any AOL desktop client that you sign into.
In the coming months we would like to allow you the ability to get the best of both worlds by adding features to allow you to access your myAOL Favorites Web bookmarks and "Favorite Places" seamlessly from myAOL.

20. Wow! AOL, you have really jerked us long-time and loyal users. I have been reading the numerous complaints about loss of "Favorites" - - way too may to read all of them - - and still I find no explanation of how to find them. They may not be lost to you but they are definitely lost to me. If I only had known that this would happen I would never had upgraded to the new addition! I don't like it as well anyway and this is a big blow! Too bad I was not warned and too bad that you didn't survey your users before you made such a drastic change. They say, if it's not broke don't fix it - - add something maybe but don't change what works well!!
