    I AM A PAYING AOL SUBSCRIBER FOR OVER 15 YEARS. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF EXTREMELY ANNOYING FLASHING ADS ON MY EMAIL PAGES. PLEASE, STOP THEM!

  • EDWARD ROGERS commented  ·   ·  Report

    I do not need a bunch of ads coming up on the Welcome site each time I look at a new item.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I second this! AOL listens to nothing we complain about and does nothing about anything that is wrong.

  • MARGARET HULSE commented  ·   ·  Report

    I recently received notification that a topic of many complaints had been closed. Many people have complained about the stories posted that require the reader to keep hitting "next." The purpose seems to be getting more clicks for more pages of ads. We asked that it be stopped. Just publish a story in one piece. So that complaint, which was active for over a year, as been closed and it's obvious that AOL ignored the pleas and will continue the practice. So be it. I will continue NOT to click next. I'm tired of AOL not listening to those of us who PAY FOR THE SERVICE.

    TO MANY ADS, I thought paying customers did not have ads. the ads cover up the printed material on the pages, news items, etc.

    any way to get rid of the ads. I hate to seek other portals, been with AOL for the very beginning!

    when you sign on to AOL...you get the main screen that changes to the next news article...but to the right of the main screen you get the annoying live stream ad that you can,t get rid of. I've done the ad choice thing about a million times. Anyway to get rid of that.????

    The use of Next to read you way along is horrible. It waste time, and worst at time you mean to click on Next but the screen is not yet filled in with ads completely so off you go to an ad you never wanted to go to. Then you have to X out of whatever ad popped up to get back to what you wanted to read. Terrible design, waste of time, and getting to the point I won't bother reading with the Next icon.

    This is why I rarely go to the AOL news. The constant ads that jump around are infuriating. There are many news sites that don't do this.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ads I am not interested in keep popping up flashing or in the way of reading an article.

  • cheryl commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is there some reason you cannot read a news article without having to dodge soooooooo many ads in the middle to actually be able to read it? Ridiculous to have to hit the continue button time and again and then dodge even more ads.

  • c1coop commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's still #1 even though it has been taken down!! Still an issue !! Still a hate issue!!! Give us a break!!

  • Marilyn Camden commented  ·   ·  Report

    Presentation of stories with NEXT and ads is disgusting. Stop it. Put the story on one page.

  • Astrid Buttari commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am paying for AOL GOLD and for no advertisements (both at work and at my home emails with AOL, but still getting them. PLEASE REMOVE ADVERTISEMENTS ON WELCOME PAGE AND JUST LEAVE THE NEWS. Thank you. My other email address is also affected.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    These flashing ads are annoying and distracting especially when trying to read emails. PLEASE , AOL STOP THESES ADS.

  • [Deleted User] commented  ·   ·  Report

    AOL, do you really think that having a feature story that you can literraly age trying to get thru it because of a hundred ads is going to benefit anyone including aol? I pay for aol and i would thin that your customers would be getting something they want for their money and not be forced to abandon the story because it TAKES FOREVER TO GET TO THE END. So I skip your stories and your ads and google what looks real and get the answer in about 5minutes.

    get rid of some of the adds or go back to free aol

  • MICHAEL GILL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Here I sit TRYING to read a story, and a damned video ad keeps plowing into the bottom right corner and flops around. DISTRACTING!!! I know the videos are cutsy, but they are also annoying. My solution is to turn that story off and do something else. I'm not sure why I write these because they just keep coming along with gusto.

  • Kenneth E McPeak commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not only is it very distracting to always have to click "next" to continue reading a story, you calculate how long it takes for a person to click on the arrow then move the arrow up or down. That causes the person to go to an advertisement that they have absolutely have no desire to read!

    Your greed for advertising money is absolutely shameful.
