Thank you for yet ANOTHER unwanted shortcut on my desktop
Every few days, your stinky program puts a shortcut to AOL on my desktop, DESPITE the facts that THERE IS ONE THERE ALREADY. Nor did I WANT or even try to get a second shortcut. You are making changes to my computer WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION which I wouldn't give you because you people can't do anything correctly, other than **** off your long standing customers with your absolute garbage changes to what was once a **** good program.
You folks really suck.

Help
I haven’t been able to use aol since aol gold started. I’ve gone through turning the computer over to aol (bomgar) several times, being on phone for hours. Nothing works. Get mail through other means and on iPad. They said they’d would deduct —at least a year—of the amount I’ve been paying for years, but haven’t done that either. Just hate to go through telephone call again.
Please call our technical department at 1-888-265-3733, in order for our technicians to investigate this. Thank you.

IMPROVEMENTS
The technician was very helpful ... however, the AOL GOLD system tends to freeze ... prevents you from doing work on many occasions and you must re-start your computer ... also, it ERRORS when you are sending BCC (bulk) e-mails to organizations and groups that before was much easier ... Spam is now controlled - if needed - from everyones computer, no need to have such restrictions! Thank You!P.S. Loyal customer since 2004!!N.B. Also, your images are not holding like they did previously?PPS Please Change Policy on BCC/Bulk so we can stay customer friendly!!

I have been trying to get into my AOL account to update my account information but keep getting a message to try again later. Gold sucks!
Get rid of Gold and go back to the original AOL. Have a number where one can call AOL to change/or update account information. I need some help here and can't seem to get it from AOL. My credit card that AOL bills to was compromised with fraud and I was issued a new one and need to update my account. How can I do this?
You can update your account information, by accessing myaccount.aol.com or you can call our Billing department at 1-800-827-6364.

Create AOL Desktop Gold
AOL Gold has obviously been optimized for use on a phone, because on a PC, it doesn't work WORTH A ****. So, feedback: Actually create a version of AOL that is optimized for people who use keyboards on desktop computers, or allow us to go back to version 9.8.1

Using AOL Gold I normally get a message that I have a file open when trying to send it as an attachment. Today I kept getting an EC 4001 and a message that needed an address to send the email. Looks like there is a bug in the system that did not give me the correct error message.

Reuse of passwords
It really is a pain and a problem that you do not permit use of old passwords. It makes virtually impossible to remember one, and prevents me from getting into my account at a new computer.

Subscription
I subscribe to AOL Gold and receive email on my Ipad and my Blackberry (thank God). When I try to sign on on my desktop or laptop, it says I dont have a subscription. Had AOL for free since 1996, now I pay and have issues.

March Update #4 -Version 11.0.1713 : Your "Hot New!" shortcuts do not work!
HOT New! - keyboard shortcuts to get focus in toolbar (ctrl L for URL, ctrl J for read mail icon).......................NONE OF THIS WORKS either for me or for my friend on her computer. I have cleared my browser. I have signed off and on twice. IT DOES NOT WORK!
Control J only highlights the mailbox. It does not open it.
Control L does nothing.Do you test before you put things out?
The CTRL+J key combination, will highlight the Read mail icon (not open it). Once the icon is highlighted you can use the left and right arrows on the keyboard to select the other icons in the toolbar and press ENTER to open any one of them. CTRL+L will move the focus to the address box, so after pressing this key combination you can start typing a URL, then press enter to open it.

Verification Code
Account verification (for AOL Desktop Gold on my desktop computer) is flawed because number of digits texted to me were greater than number of digits accepted in box where I was meant to type in the verification.
First code was 6 digits. NG. Hit "resend". Second code was 5 digits. NG. Hit "resend". Third code was 4 digits. This one I was able to type in, and therefore access my AOL Desktop Gold.
