    your stories are very interesting and informative. However I hardly click on them anymore because they are so tedious to get through. TOO many ads, pop-ups and other annoyances BEFORE it lets you scroll to the next page. Please make your stories more user-friendly, otherwise I'll continue to bypass them

    Alright AOL we've put up with a lot of ads but it's disgusting to begin reading an article and a *** ***** ad pops up!!! What if a minor was reading the article?? Have you no shame how you earn money?? It's disgusting!!!

  • Phil commented  ·   ·  Report

    stop the pop up advertising. 6 just popped up and blocked 90% of the screen. Horrible

    I try to read an article and ads pop up all over the page. This is so disgusting and you shoujld be more user friendly to your customers. I have complained often and the situation only gets worse.

    Please give me a way to delete the ads from my welcome page

    When you post a interesting news story, how about just showing the story. Instead I have to click "OK"...you send me two paragraphs...then the 'click next page' bar...then another two paragraphs and another 'click next page"....this is ridiculous. I pay alot for AOL and this is how you present interesting news stories???? Now, when I see that "Click Next page" I ignore the story all together and google it....funny, Google is free and I have to pay AOL to bombard me with pop up's and ads rather than just show me the **** stories. Then the ad's that I click off, keep appearing on side boxes on everything I search for...Been on AOL since mid 90's...you have made your money off of me...how about some customer service!!!!!

    Do you peeps ever read your own postings? I was trying to read the story on the homeless pooch in LA, but there were those usual damned ads plowing in and jumping around the lower right corner. I suppose the friggin things don't bother you because you have been playng video games 24/7 all of your lives. But to an older folk, the f###ing things are really annoying. I'd like to finish the stories some time, but those flopping ads are distracting. Find another way to get your jollies.

    I enjoy the stories you post but you are making a horse and pony show of your members by dragging every story out to 10 or more pages just to collect "clicks" to show your advertisers how man saw their ads. Then to make it worse, you set up a 3 second delay on the "next page" bar so a link to another ad website pops up right where the "next page" was a second ago. I am done jumping hoops until you fix this abuse.

    Unless AOL Gold fixes some problems I will have to opt out soon. I get so many ads that you would think that AOL Gold was free. And your next click stories are beyond aggravating! Read your reviews and you will find I am not the only one! Please fix these things or after all these years with AOL...?

    Stop making us scroll through many pages to see one interesting news item! I've stopped looking. Too many ads that I'm not interested in. Stop forcing me to keep deleting them just to read a news bit.

  • MICHAEL GILL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Those damned ads flopping around the bottom right corner drive me nuts. You knotheads must enjoy driving people nuts with the flopping ads. I would like to start reading a story some time and get it finished. I don't think it will ever happen here.

  • garywnc commented  ·   ·  Report

    OK, if you can't OMIT the disgusting advertising on my email as a paying subscriber since 1986, I'm inclined to CANCEL?

  • MICHAEL GILL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is it really necessary to have all those flopping ads jumping around the page? I am well aware that they are wonderful, exciting, colorful, thought provoking, amazing, clever, and irritating? And then there are those large avantis (?) ad that plow in and cover the bottom right corner. Does anyone there consider the people reading the material? I don't know how many times I have ceased reading material because of those damned ads flopping around.

    I see many posts on the difficulty to read your articles from the welcome screen. The issue we all have reported appears to be ignored with statements like call for an expert technician. A technician would not be able to remove the ads that cover the text or inadvertent change to an ads content so AOL can justify their charges to an advertiser. AOL has thee ability to correct this issue. Please do so NOW

    AOL is posting too many stupid ADDS and Now you Play Continuous Videos that cannot be eliminated, Do some thing about it PLEASE.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    it is time-consuming and frustrating to open one of these items that have no story--only a message of "page not found" but not as bad of opening a story of 10 or more pages, one sentence at a time, often struggling to hit the "next page" tab without getting sent to something that is triggered by a pop-up that overlaps the button. Pop-up block does no good

    The ads are so many that you cannot read an article. Cut back a little!
