    Your format for reading articles is horrible! I refuse to read them. You display a few words and make the reader click next in order to see a few more words. I am sure it is just a way to cram more mindless advertising in front the readers. I go to another web site to read the article if it interests me. I don't have time to click next 50 times to read 200 words. It is beyond annoying!

    "WELCOME" Every time I turn on my AOL desktop the "WELCOME" pages come up with it.  73 or so pages of news with tons of ads to wade through.  The worst part is every story I want to read is sliced into a million little pieces, and you have to hit "NEXT" to go from page to page to page to read one single story, littered with ads.  I already pay $13.95 a month to use AOL.  STOP cutting stories up into a million pieces, which forces it's readers to go from one annoying page to another to read it.  I've stopped looking at the stories altogether.  It's not worth the time and effort.

    While some of the articles in the Welcome window are interesting, having part of the narrative covered by a non-removable advertisement is not. Not only is it annoying it make me determined to not patronize the advertiser. What the **** am I paying for?

    While trying to read the article about Queen Elizabeth, Those damned ads kept flopping around on the bottom right corner. You fool sure know
    how to ruin a person's day. I should quit writing these things because I doubt anyone reads them. I suppose it would just be better if I quit reading stuff on here. My days would surely be better. Just so you know, those ads do NOT get my business.

    Stop news that takes forever to get to ending and nothing was there. Pop-up ads are disgusting. Can't do any site without them.

    AOL is never news anymore. Get rid of the "Continue" "Next" "Start Slideshow" etc. on the Welcome screen News. Who wants to click through 25 clicks to get to the question answered? I can go to Google and get that stuff.

    Why do I have to read news in snippets going from Next Page to Next Page to Next Page, etc.

  • Glenda Schulte commented  ·   ·  Report

    Here's an idea. How about not displaying ads that cover the story you're trying to read! It's enough to make me quit AOL. Most of them don't even have the option to X out of them.

    I was TRYING to read the article on Air Force One on Bleacher Breaker, But those F.....g ads kept flopping around the lower right corner. Those things are worse than the Christmas music I heard at the grocery this morning, and that was BAD. I don't know why I keep complaining about this because it just keeps coming.

    I've written about this several times......I've about given up reading any articles that have "NEXT"....Do you really have to have dumb popups or worse **** ads popping up....and you cant X them to close. you have to close the article.......You've made it really difficult to try reading about anything!!! and We pay for this/// No wonder it's called
    AOLHELL.............

    If the story about SCAM is so important ---Do Not DO Not make us chase through all this NEXT PAGE!! CAN YOU HEAR YOUR CUSTOMERS????AOL is not listening!!!! Give us a break!!!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is impossible to read Huffington Post or any of your articles of interest. To many ads in between anything of interest.

  • diane commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am sick of "next page" also. And yes, the end is always disappointing. I refuse to look at any page that says "next".

  • FRANK PAYNE commented  ·   ·  Report

    Sick of stories than sound interesting BUT you have to click 20 plus times to get to the end! Then end is often big disappointment. The ads are so great they block the print at times. please stop all these type of stories unless they are in scroll down manner. have stopped looking at these as do not have time or patience to click on page after page and close ad after ad!! Bet I am not alone in this request to stop all these type of stories!!

  • Stan commented  ·   ·  Report

    I refuse to read anything that has a "Next Page" format because I have no idea of how much time I might waste on a sometimes worthless story. If you printed out the entire story it would make an easier read.

    I don't know if you've had any other complaints about it but I would think that other readers feel the same way.

  • Elaine Hache commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your right but i never yet had clicked those adds not on purpose.

  • Jack commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm tired of "next page" articles. Just show the article without all the suspense!

  • JOSEPH RIZOLI commented  ·   ·  Report
