  1. The signature page

  2. Fraudulent advertisers

    On February 23, 2020, I ordered and used my ATM card to purchase a top from NINACLOAK.Com who continues to show the same attractive tops as being in stock. My top has never been sent. In searching for their web site there are multiple links to reveal this is a scam advertiser. My bank is doing an investigation. I used their posted phone number and was placed on hold for over an hour with no response. These people are stealing the order payments from all who order their advertised tops. Please refuse their advertising.

  3. It would be great if we could submit comments on Daily Stuff, like the recent one about what baby-boomer foods millennials will not eat.

    Allow us to reply and comment on articles in Daily Stuff. I would have loved to make a comment on the one about creamed corn. The article said it's corn with cream but there is absolutely no cream or any dairy product in a can of creamed corn. It's called "creamed" because it looks like there's cream in it but it's just a can of corn in which much of the corn is overcooked and mashed so that it looks a bit ******.

  4. Put the option to opt out of interest based advertising back

    AOL changed the opt out of interest based advertising. It used to be easy , now it's so complicated and doesn't actually let you have the option anymore. You used to be able to get it down to only a few, but now, with that option removed. You are subject to an average of 135 different companies tracking and targeting you.AOL doesn't care bout the customer, they are only about advertising, if we pay for AOL service, they only profit more. AOL, no longer stands for "America On Line" It's "Advertising On LIne"

  7. WOW! What an internet service!!!

    There has literally not been one site I have been able to get into. Super long delays then crashes, mail bounces from one piece to another. We were told with the new owner service would get better and the only thing it's gotten is worse. Please don't tell me to contact another department, it's you who draws a paycheck from AOL, not me. It appears I am not the only one having problem with the talking movie company.Maybe if we contact the FCC, they'll respond. P.S. - AOL will never catch up with the likes of Google or MSN. Plus…

  8. Why when I search a website do I get SOLICITATIONS TO BUY from the place

    I search a website one time and for the next two weeks my main page is filled with ads from the sites visited. Just because I visited a CARMAX website for example, I am inundated with ADS for their used cars. I AM NOT INTERESTED and it seems you probably profit from it. My searches are MY BUSINESS AND NOT YOURS!!!!!!!!!

  10. Too much before I get to where I want to be

    PLEASE change it so that when I read a headline (like the one I read featuring Sam Elliott - where is he now?) I want to get to that article. I had to wade through myriad other celebrities before I got to him and it's not only frustrating but gets me darned angry. Give me what the headline offered, THEN put in the rest of the stuff. I'd be more inclined to click on the rest of the stuff if you don't force me to and give me what I asked for in the first place. Thank you.

  14. Why I don't bother with many articles.

    I don't bother reading many articles because when I click on them the first thing I get is a lot of background baloney instead of getting directly to what the headline was about. It's getting to the point that I'm ready to opt out of AOL and find another browser.

  15. TREATING US BADLY, WAKE UP!

    AOL, VERIZON, HUFEPOST,

    You sent an email request to take a poll regarding Lindsay Graham and then there were no box to check in favor of him.
    THERE WAS ONLY ONE BOX, HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK WE ARE....... WHY DO YOU TREAT US THIS WAY? YOU CAN'T TAKE A POLL WITH ONLY ONE CHOICE. WHAT MORONIC EDITOR ALLOWED AOL, VERIZON TO LOOK SO STUPID?

  16. Complaint re Ad.

    Your IPAD 2 commercial, shown today on your site. is major league misleading. Your 'come on' on the ad page makes no mention of refurbished. You cheated. Some of us would not take 'refurbished' as a gift. Addtionaly, the price drop is not much for a used tablet. Shame on apple, and aol for letting it by. Lying.

  18. News for you AOL - those back stories are mostly wasted. We don't read them, we just want to get what the headline noted.

    Why do you keep bothering with the back stories? I don't know anybody who reads them - we just scroll through them to get to the point of the headline.

  19. Mapquest

    MapQuest is much more difficult to use than it used to be. Users get flooded with ads and it is just more difficult to search for a location or get directions. Google Maps is so much easier. That's what I use now. Why don't you put that on the desktop instead of MapQuest?

  20. Aol Desktop Gold

    What a disappointment... if you want to print something you cannot preview and print from the same screen. You now get to "preview" then exit and go to the print screen. What a drag. Just another joyful AOL pile of ****.
