    Pop-ups!!! I set my personal set-up to block "all" pop-ups.... still getting tons of them. They're driving me crazy!!! How do I stop them... they're everywhere!!!!!

  • Fred commented  ·   ·  Report

    I feel exactly the same! What purpose does it serve to force you to spend so long to read an article. I have mostly stopped reading AOL because of this

  • CRAIG D HOLSTAD commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please do not put all of the Google ads in the middle of content on a page. It makes it impossible to read.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Make your stories concise--the requirement to go page after page after page is a time waster and totally annoying. Cut all the **** out of those pages. After clicking about 70 times i gave up seeing who was featured on the news page--the story never got to who you featured--it's absurd!!!

    Your pictures and headlines are great but I really had the format of next - it is very time consuming and unenjoyable.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    put the damnable ads in the margins, not at the top and bottom of the screen where they cover content.

  • MICHAEL GILL commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was trying, and I mean TRYING, to read a story, and twice an ad plowed onto the screen which blocked the material.. I know that ads are $$$, but is it necessary to insert them onto a page that I'm TRYING to read? This site is no longer reader friendly.

    Get rid of ALL ads for paying customers. I have used the popup blocker settings, but there are still too many ads that interfere with the multipage stories. I don't see any logical reason to continue with AOL other than legacy email.

    Remove all advertisements. What are we paying each month for?

  • Peggy commented  ·   ·  Report

    For games you have 1 video and once on games , there are 3 or more ads and Masque can't load up. FIX it. Simple. Fix it.

    I cannot read articles because of ads popping up all over the page.

  • Jose Boix commented  ·   ·  Report

    Google Ads: Waste of time "closing and sending feed back." Have tried many many times for the same Ads and they keep coming back within seconds, and over and over again. Have tried to go through the convoluted and confusing system to manage "Ads" unsuccessfully. Frustrating to the MAX!

    Please eliminate or reduce the number of advertisements on my AOL desktop gold which are very distracting in my work and affect my vision

  • Robert commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why don't you let people read a story on one page. I'm tired of having to click through multiple pages of advertisement to read one story. It's not necessary. Many times I give up and try to find the story on Google where I can just read the story. Also every time I switch pages and go to click the Next Page button the page shifts so you wind up clicking on an advertisement and then I have to delete the page I didn't want to see in the first place.

    If a story has a next page, next page, and so on, I do not even read it. How annoying. I know you do it for more sales with advertisements on each page, but your customers hate it. Please stop. Just put a one page story.

  • HOWARD CHAIET commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree. Reading a story should flow. Having to select "NEXT" makes reading a chore. Advertising appears to be more important to AOL then properly presenting a story in an easily readable format.

  • JOSEPH HOLGATE commented  ·   ·  Report

    I LOVE MY AOL AND HAVE USED AOL FOR YEARS. BUT I MUST TELL YOU. IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TO CLICK NEXT PAGE SO MANY TIMES FOR THE ARTICLE THAT I USUALLY CLOSE IT WITHOUT FINISHING IT. UNLIKE A NEWSPAPER OR MAGAZINE THAT YOU MIGHT ONCE OR TWICE HAVE TO GO TO THE REAR OF IT TO FINISHING THE ARTICLE. CLICK NEXT IS BORING, AND TOTALLY UNNECESSARY FOR NEWS.

  • SAM BOOHER commented  ·   ·  Report

    Stop advertising a Trump makes America better when he is NOT paying you and the add is still running.

  • Hal commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have reached the end. No more click on news and the 10 or 20 next buttons. No way to just pull the article up and scan to where I want to be. Your close to loosing me!

    Do away with the next buttons and bring up the article
