  1. Restore original AOL features and Upgrade Values of News Content

    There are many issues that need to be addressed in AOL Gold and I have reached out many times to customer service. It takes 15 minutes for the program to let me sign in... My major complaint is the content in which AOL is reporting in the news feed. It is one step away from The Nat'l Enquirer. Celebrities who crave publicity and crooks who prey on children seem to spotlight the headlines. I won't bother mentioning politics since we all are aware of the bias...AOL used to give choices as to what news we need on a daily basis.…

  2. Return to the old version of COMMENTS ON AN ARTICLE. When a person replies and you click on it it WILL NOT take you to the response.

    Roll back the programming on being able to comment on articles. In the new version when someone replies and you click on the link it does not take you to the comment to respond. Instead it open the article and you have to click on show more replies in every section and begin searching for the comment. It is time consuming and tedious. Is is NOT USER FRIENDLY!

  3. Climate change

    While you at AOL continue to parrot the Democratic fear mongering about climate change, be honest enough to include the fact the US has taken huge steps in the past several decades in cutting carbon emissions by reducing car and industry pollution, developing electric cars etc. The rest of the world (over 80%) has done nothing and will nothing for years according to the Paris agreement. We work and pay to reduce carbon footprint while they do NOTHING!! How is that fair?

  4. sick

    AOL is a sick and demented, hate America organization. Did anyone who works there graduate high school or learn anything about world history or American history. NO....NO.......and NO. Slugs and worms are smarter than those who work for and contribute to AOL!

  5. AOL's reporting

    I noticed a distinct change in AOL's reporting today, it was not all about slamming Trump, but actually provided the news of the day without bias. As a subscriber for nearly 25 years, I can only say "thank you". I hope this continues as I would like to use AOL for my only non-biased news provider....News agencies should let the reader draw their own conclusions with fair and balanced reporting.....

  7. Writing Style

    Reading most links scrolling on AOL can be very frustrating. The initial headline only hints at the subject, but it's necessary to scroll and scroll and scroll before eventually getting to it. They should be written with the facts of the headline first - if the reader wishes more detail they can read on.

  8. Barack Obama

    Are you serious? AOL is actually stupid enough to run an article where Obama is lecturing the present and any future president. This man was a disaster as a president, a liar, a schemer and a do nothing but ***** America president. AOL may want to kiss his *** but the non-brain washed Americans wish they never heard of this love life hypocrite.

  12. 2 ideas or more

    1] discontinue the annoying "breaking news" pop-up
    2] find a way to avoid "network error" from preempting videos.(I can watch YouTube and other videos from various sites, for hours with no difficulty--and cannot understand why AOL videos of 40 seconds don't work.
    3] do not put up teasers in your 80 or so stories that, when clicked on, esult in "nothing found" or "ooops there seems to e a problem" or a reminder to check spelling in our search!

  13. ***********

    There is nothing new about stupid. It has been around since the beginning of time. However, AOL has brought it to a new level because you are not only stupid, you try to pretend you are smart by using lies. YOU ****** and you hate America. We get it....

  14. Stop with the stories on the royal family

    STOP STOP STOP. Get the hint? The press already killed one member of the royal family and AOL is adding to the attempt to kill another with these banal unconfirmed fake stories. Knock it the ************** off. Grow the***** up.

  16. NOT POSTING MY REASONABLE POSTS. YOU ONLY POSTS RADICALIZING HATE SPEECH OBVIOUSLY FROM RUSSIANS & TROLLS WITHOUT OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND.

    I have been stopped from posting on your site for no apparent reason. I do not post hate speech. I had been responding to your Russian trolls who do post hate speech. When ever they are on you have a 600% inversion of "likes" to "dislikes" based on the "bombs" they have planted on your site. They all have the same keyword triggers or phrases they then overwhelm the comment sections with out and out hate speech, violence themes and every conceivable lie they can do over and over. They sign is as a "Guest" then post under 10 names…

  18. Pelosi

    Pelosi is a ***** who has no self discipline nor morals. She is dumb as a rock and has only one interest and this is herself. She does not care one ounce for America or the people who live within its borders. She is simply a horrible money and power grabbing *****.
