Everything on AOL is huge because they set resolution at 1280 x 720.
Everything on the AOL interface and elsewhere on AOL is huge because they set my resolution at 1280 x 720. My resolution is 900 x 1600 which it is in other browsers and everywhere else. Because of this everything on the interface is so huge that the mailbox alone takes up 3/4 of the screen, I can only see a few of the mail listings without scrolling down, graphics I put in emails are larger than they really are which is ruining my graphics business, I can only see a few lines of the news at a time, and this is causing other problems. It is causing continuous scroll bars even though nothing is touching the sides of the screen. If I move my favorites the scroll bars go away but come back minutes later. I have complained about this numerous times but nothing has been done. Please fix this. I need to view with a resolution of 900 x 1600... and not 1280 x 720.

I have the same problem. The bottom is cut off because things are too large. So large that on the AOL interface I can not see the bottom of things. No other browsers that I tested have this problem. I've complained at least a dozen times but they don't fix it. They only fix unimportant things that are easy to fix.

I cannot resize my page. No matter where or how I move it, the bottom is cut off. Everything about Gold stinks, from the mail and ME not being to keep it all on one page. I am constantly being forced to "refresh" to bring up mail I want to read again;to no adobe flashplayer, to no recognition on other browsers.

As of 5 minutes ago I am now suddenly back to my normal display setting of 900x1600.. From the first day I took AOL Gold I was set at at 1200-something by 720 I think. Everything was huge. There was no update so I don't understand it, except that I had restarted the computer a few minutes before I saw the change. However, I don't thinmk this is what did it because I restarted a few days ago and did not see this change. PLEASE.... KEEP IT THIS WAY. Now when I check the "What is my Resolution" site it states 900x1600 (where I always was on other browsers. Still, I'd love to know what made this change as I did not get an update.

Windows take up way too much of the monitor and there is no way to make them smaller. You can drag the mailbox maybe 1/4" and that is it! And most other windows can no longer be dragged.

and the icons are huge as is everything else on the interface. Did not have this problem on the old AOL. It only started with Gold.

The aol interface and anywhere I go on AOl is huge. Now I can only see a few lines of the news without scrolling whereas before I could read the article in one screen. For this reason I've been using Internet Explorer. Am using less of less of AOL due to all the problems - not to mention the zillions of disruptive ads.
