When I purchase a item via internet advertisements for that item invade my computer from other vendors. Horrible. Paying each month for AOL then getting advertisements I don't want and can't seem to block is a total rip off.

My idea is for aol to be a lot less ad oriented and much more for the user. There are many 'welcome' items that I would really like to read but I don't bother with because I know that they'll be endlessly stretched out to show more and more and more ads. If I do succumb to my curiosity I don't bother with the ads anyway. My biggest peeve is the one ad that covers a quarter of my monitor and I can't get rid of it. I dropped my Allstate auto insurance because I was reading an interesting news item and their ad came up covering a quarter of the screen and I couldn't get rid of it so I couldn't finish reading

Stop the pop up ads, when clicking on a main news feature on the home page. I won't look at any news anymore on the AOL's home page too many pop up ads

Just once, I would like to be able to read an article without ads popping up and covering the content of the article, making it impossible to read. Whose brilliant idea was that??

Stop the "next page" from changing position after seeing a page.. It makes it impossible to read an article without clicking on it accidentally and getting an ad. The ads are maddening, loud, obtrusive and torturous.

It's really frustrating to click on a headline and then have to go through upteen "related" articles to get to the one I wanted to read. Enough of that baloney already! Let me get to the headlined article immediately!

Why the **** does it seem like you have no regard for your customers. In the middle of trying to post an opinion and you just cut it off. Let's try this spot, maybe it can be done here. I just had my interests drawn to one of your headlines about the Irwin family. I started to read it and after 65 minutes of reading a sentence at time followed by your forced system of showing me advertisements (nice touch there bouncing the links around while someone is trying to hit the "net' button). The story was changed in the middle of all this trying to dodge the relentless advertisements, then realizing that the story was no longer about the Irwin family. Another nice touch. thanks AOL, for wasting an hour and a half of my time. NEVER AGAIN. If I need to see advertisements I get 2 newspapers every day that provide me with more than I can handle. So your presentations seem to be a not so wise or accepted business practice. Thank God there are actually reasons that do make sense in this program. I have had and will continue to have a fair relationship with AOL, but will not even try to read anything in that box again. Another thought. Why must I agree to your terms of service in order to post my thoughts? My gripe comes with wasting my time, and i am not going to take another hour and a half trying to decipher pages of mumble jumbo, so I will reluctantly agree in order to get this done, and you decide if i have violated your terms and respond accordingly.

While TRYING to scroll through the stories on the main page, a damned ad kept popping up where I was TRYING to read. I know that they are real cutsy and eye catching, but it is the eye catching part is the annoying part. You won't get me to buy a product after going through all this. I just close out the web page. Nice going!

OK... you folks are seemingly ignoring a bunch of us long term paying subscribers... I guess we all need to elevate our concerns to Verizon. We have Verizon phone service, AOL... etc. Perhaps we all need to cancel these services if you can't find a way to eliminate those disgusting ads when we read email. When the next "recession" occurs, Verizon will likely wish we had remained as paid subscribers because the loss in Advertising revenues could be significant?
