  1. Newsfeed photos

    Please go back to the photo style as in the past. These enlarged photos are not something that works. They do nothing for me. The earlier version at least gives some additional views the related topics. If I want large photos I will increase the size myself. Whomever came up with the idea of increasing the size probably never gave it much thought in relation to the news stories. Bring back the previous version!

  3. Improve you news & update it

    Your news articles/reviews seem to run for ever & many are pure garage. The interview on "best before dates" has run its course weeks age , take it off & not interesting in the least. Why not try & improving AOL's name by posting better articles/reviews, your news is boring. It makes me want to get rid of my AOL acct.

  4. A gigantic improvement ....

    Stop spending your time writing negative stories....we are tired of hearing about police beating up minorities for apparently no reason....how about some positive stories about law enforcement.....the police are having enough difficulty hiring replacements, as many take early retirement and resign.... eventually the quality of police will tank....does anyone want to see that?

  11. news articles

    Lighten up on the selected words that are censored, there are a lot of word aol articles used, words in your article are worse than what we are trying to comment on. Please quit re-posting articles from the past its really getting boring and forcing us to go to other browsers. You maybe don't have to post 80 articles a day that last 3-4 days at a time. Your taking away our 1st amendment.

  12. Posting on AOL articles.

  13. Let us customize our opening page

    The opening page of Google lets you "hide a story." This lets them know what people are and are not interested in. I'd love to see AOL do the same thing. AOL is quite slanted in their choice of stories and their "news" (I use that term loosely) are most often of no interest to me. I really wish there was a way to customize the opening screen.

  19. Your Welcome Screen shows the bias of AOL or at least the person choosing the subjects

    Google does that too as well as Facebook and it's beginning to backlash. You might make your news from either both slants or just print the news and verify what you are sharing.

    Too much out there is coming from "sources say" when someone has made it up or taken things out of context. I would love it if AOL were unbiased and just printed the news as it was originally reported in AP or wherever it originated from.
