    On all the news items the garbage ads are so numerous and crammed onto the screen you can not read the article. I suggest AOL modify their screen design to limit the number of ads they cram onto each screen. Or reduce the size and or permit the reader to delete or close the ads.

    Why trying to Post so many "News" Items every day? your forced to post old news items..

    GET RID OF ALL ADS OR HAVE A WAY O DELETE THEM

  • JOHN E FLYNN commented  ·   ·  Report

    There is no reason to continuing with AOL as my browser screen keeps shrinking and shrinking. The ads are now taking up 2/3's or more of my screen. What is wrong with you people? Someone must have changed the AOL name to Ads-on-line. You better had change your greed for money or you will pretty soon lose most of your customers and then you will have nothing but ads - full screen!

    You speak my own sentiment AND ANGER. It is a total waste of the reader's time to put up with this constant page turning. And noticeably so it has room for all the circling ads. This has ticked me so much I am on the verge of leaving AOL. Had enough! And these pages giving them feedback have no value as AOL DOES NOT ACT ON THEM WHEN MEMBERS TAKE THEIR TIME TO PROVIDE AN ANNOYING APPLICATION AOL NEEDS TO CHANGE. AND REMOVING THE PAGE-2-CURSOR DOWN-FIND THE NEXT BUTTON-WAIT FOR IT TO TURN TO THE NEXT PAGE AND ITS CIRCLE OF NONSENSE.

    Your face page has as many as 4 adds and only about 5% of the whole page is news or interesting information. Go back to AOL 9.1

    I know that ads help AOL to stay solvent.

    I can tolerate the narrow ads that appear on the side, which obscure part of what I am trying to read. . . .IF ....

    IF they have the little x that allows me to quickly shut them down so I can continue what I am doing.

    I will never ever, EVER, EVER EVER buy anything from an ad that interferes with my activities. I will note that company as one I hate and never have anything to do with their products anywhere.

    Did you see the newspaper cartoon where two men were at a restaurant table? One is holding up a piece of paper and saying, "If you get tired of the ads I'm showing, just let me know, and I'll change the ads." That's like the current situation on AOL.

    I can't read any of your stories because I'm being slammed with your stupid ad's ....aol is nothing but a lying cnn wanna be and an ad machine....

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    There is nothing more annoying when you are attempting to enjoy an online article or story but to constantly interrupted by a pop up ad or video. This happens on AOL even after clicking the setting to block all pop up. Why is this? Is it the mighty $ dolllar? Why don't you accommodate the customer who is paying the bill????

  • BARRY BAURLE commented  ·   ·  Report

    i am fed up with this next page set up to promote your advertising.

    why do i have to pay for aol and be bumbarded with constant advertising.

    instead of quickly getting the story we have to go next page over and over again. i am considering leaving aol

    Please stop overlaying ads on top of articles that can’t be closed without losing the article.

    STOP PAID ADS FROM BEING ON IN BOX very distracting

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Welcome page--ditch all the old "features" and just print a 10-30 new ones each day--we don't need to go through 70 clicks for nothing.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I pay for AOL gold & you cover the stories with adds. maybe it is time to quit!!!!!!!

  • Carole commented  ·   ·  Report

    Keep advertisements from covering photos and text in articles - so much is covered I usually just give up - I don't mind the ads as long as they don't make reading articles impossible - I pay for my AOL so I don't think ads should cover my entire screen --

  • John Brown commented  ·   ·  Report

    STOP with your annoying and distracting auto volume on background commercials. AOL you are idiots.

  • MARILYN DOTSON commented  ·   ·  Report

    When you send an email and the little box pops up that says your mail was sent.. that has an ad in it. When you open the mailbox, the right side has ads running, when you open an email the right side of the email has an ad running in it. For people like me with an older computer, this creates a huge memory suck, its slowing down all processes on aol. Try to google something and with all the **** running its impossible to get the pages to open. I thought with so many members paying for aol 'service' which really is no service at all, we weren't going to be subject to ads that destroy the fun of being online. Either stop this bombardment of ads or face losing many many members. This is outrageous.
