Fact check stories for new information, rather than repeat the original narrative.
AOL sometimes runs a story, based on media narrative, but leaves out facts learned after the event, which show the story was fabricated. ...then continue to running the story but discontinue comments. ...case in point, the article on George Floyd's actual cause of death is not given, while promoting the police brutality narrative. Not only was the cause of his death by police in question, but unfair to police rank and file, by lowering morale, making recruitment more difficult and emboldening criminals.....is this a direction we want to go?

PLEASE go back to the old homepage. A big picture with no description is a waste of time.

Popup news feed in lower left
The recent popup in the lower left blocks content and is extremely annoying., I can not understand why some individuals feel a need to change something that is work and think it is better. It is an extremely annoying and need to be removed. I do not like the recent Newsfeed changes and have discontinued viewing them until this is fixed!

Welcome window "News" window keeps moving when paging throuugh articles
The News window now has been changed to a smaller size and keeps moving when paging through the news articles so as to hit ads all the time. Very clever idea..NOT. Now have watch the arrows or you hit ads..Why this change? Please change back to original News window so it doesn't move around in the Welcome window.

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!

signature on
Add signature info to Iphone emails automatically. Your excellent tech officer Felix attempted to do this. We both learned that this is currently impossible which I find shocking and unbelievable. This should have been possible 20 years ago. Please Fix immediatedly

Don't change the icons in the toolbar.
Keep the old icons and not erase the ones I have and replace them with hearts. I should be able to use any icon I come up with. I don't like someone sitting at a desk changing my banner without asking just because they think it's a good idea. You're coming close to losing me.

Browser used by AOL?
Does anyone know what browser AOL uses? I'm having problems opening some emails recently that I had no problems with previously. (Jokes and word play.)
Thanks! -

Yellow banner telling us to upgrade windows 7
We have a yellow banner saying "Microsoft has ended support for this version of Windows." extra extra extra.
I majored in computer networking so I know that this is just microsoft talking to us, but why do we have to be constantly reminded to upgrade windows 7.
I have no plans to move to either windows 8, windows 10 or windows 11. I don't like any of them. No offense to anyone that does.
Before we got a popup telling us the same thing, now it's a yellow banner.
There should be an option to not display this banner so…

Revise email attachment process to enable easier finding of desired document
AOL Gold's process for finding a desired document is unacceptable.
Three document folders appear to listed with none of them showing the desired document which had been scanned and saved in a "documents" folder. had to do a search for document which did not show the path to the document. Serious problem. Too much time required to guess and try multiple document files. HP scanner, HPsmart, Windows 10 computer.

This new [Unsubscribe] next to the From line of the email - why is it there?
It isn't on every email I receive. Some members of many groups I belong to have it in their emails to me and others don't. Why would I unsubscribe from a private person's email? If this is AOL's way of trying to do the "Do Not Call" list for spammers, isn't it just telling them our email addresses really exist. I learned years ago to NEVER reply to a spam message - isn't that what the unsubscribe would do if a spam message was in with our regular messages?

delete filtered mail rathe than move it to spam mail. forces me to look at look at them in spam mail in case something got in accidentally.
Delete filtered mail. Don't move it to spam mail, as I then have to look at it along with unfiltered mail. I told you to "trash" it. Do it!! Renter, Admin etc are TRASH.
