  3. Multi-Authentication on AOL Desktop Gold Sign-On

    I see for the AOL Mail, you take security very seriously and that is great. However, could there be a 2-step verification process to sign in to AOL Desktop Gold?

  4. Pay Pal access

    I used to access PayPal wiyh AOL. Now it will not and I'm told AOL no longer supports PayPal. If possible I would like to see that enabled again. Then I won't have to use another browser to make payments.

  9. I like how AOL Gold just up and stops working!

    I like how AOL Gold just up and stops working and then presents a screen window that merely says "AOL HAS STOPPED WORKING" and then closes the program and says nothing else. I know AOL Gold is a junk, dumb program but just shutting off and collapsing is pretty stupid. All the while AOL takes your money. Sick.

  10. Provide USA news clips rather than UK

  13. The constant changes are clearly deleting many good features. If it is already available and it is used, why change it. More options needed

    I want to access all mail like the past, page by page. I need to research previous responses constantly.

  14. E-Mail Messages Become "Transposed" for Reasons Unknown

    What I mean by the subject line is an e-mail message from, say, Amazon Delivery, is now replaced by the e-mail message directly under the Amazon message, and vice-versa. I've never seen anything like this before.

    What gives?

  15. Why Do Spam E-Mails Open Whenever I Click "Report Spam"?

    Whenever I click on "Report Spam" to send an offensive e-mail (and there are thousands of them lately) to you, AOL, the e-mail opens, risking infecting my PC.

    Why is this?

  17. Need to have the font for the new browser returned to the past text

    The print looks like it's italic but I have trouble reading this new print. I would like the old solid print like I have when I read my mail.

    You can use the AOL Desktop Gold OS system Tray icon (lower right-hand corner of Windows)

    Right click on the AOL Desktop Gold icon in your system tray and select the "Check for updates" command. This can sometimes take up to 5 minutes depending on your internet connection.

    Alternatively, you can uninstall AOL Desktop Gold from your Add Remove applications settings in Windows. Then install the latest version of AOL Desktop Gold.
