    if this page didnt skip and jump around, i could tell you about the trouble i have with ads covering the content of the page. it doesnt seem right. whats the matter? you use to be a good ..

    We pay for this service can't the pop up ads be dropped! I hate looking at articles because of all the ads.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree 100%. Your attempt to post as much advertisement as possible, destroys readers desire to check out the content of the stories. I know it won't make a difference, but I don't intend to read any more of the stories posted.

    15 pages of NEXT to read a story - and I didn't even look at one ad as a matter of principle because you are not listening to us - we don't want to do that. I have given up reading AOL news because of this and I see others are doing the same. The article should all be on ONE PAGE!

    It's actually worse than that. Good luck finding the answer to the reason you clicked in the first place! AoL needs to do more about shielding its subscribers from garbage. We know why we are hassled with all the clicking... Each new page presents more ads we do not want to see. The longer we are held captive, the more ad revenues AOL makes. There needs to be a set of content guide lines for what AOL is passing off as news. In the absence of response by AOL, I handle these bogus stories by exiting if I don't see what I want in 2 clicks. Here is an example of one entertainment news story about a "Wheel of Fortune" contestant.

    You are hooked with the headline of a crafty game play, then after clicking very little if anything is said about that TV episode, but there are sure a lot of ads WE DON'T WANT TO SEE!

    I pay my monthly subscriber fee. I expect better service.

    Your ad are over the top, one cannot read many articles due to the ad covering them. I did not sign up with AOL to read ads. Is there any way to stop or reduce the amount of clutter.

    Again get an add on the side of my e-mail, with AOL annoying pop up ads that are everywhere, saying internet security code 055bco etc. which locks the computer up trying to get me to download something. 4th time this week. Been going on for few months now. Have to close out AOL through task manager. My computer is fine, it is their pop up ads. They still are not doing anything about it.

    Again, AOL pop up ads locks up my computer, trying to get me to download something about a virus. Have to close down AOL by the task manager. This happens every week, and already 3 times this week. It is in their ads, and they will not do anything about it. Time to use only GMAIL if they do not fix this. Going to lose another paying customer

    I was TRYING to read the "Give It Love" segment, and all of a sudden those Friggin video ads plowed into the bottom right corner and fllopped around. I don't know if whoever puts this stuff together puts any attention to it or now, but all that flopping around is really distracting, but then I didn't grow up playing video games 24/7.The only way I can get away from those **** things is to leave the site, which I did. It appeared to be a fine story, too. AOL has really gone to **** in a handbasket.

    ADS MAKING ME CRAZY, CAN'T ENJOY BROWSING ANYMORE

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    STRICTLY IDIOTIC MARKETING WHICH MANY TIMES KNOCKS YOU OFFLINE OF LOCKS UP YOUR COMPUTER BECAUSE AOL GOLD IS LOADED WITH BUGS.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    KEEP IN MIND, YOU PAY AOL FOR ALL THIS HYPE AND ******** ADS THAT USE UP YOUR VALUABLE DIGITAL TIME AND SPACE. AOL IS BEYOND A DOUBT THE WORST ONLINE PROVIDER IN THE WORLD, WITH INEPT AND INCOMPETENT TECHS.

    It seems that if we're now having to pay to use the AOL GOLD software, then we shouldn't be seeing advertisements at all.
    I have numerous programs installed on my computer that are free, and show advertisements.
    When I choose to purchase the Paid version, then there are no advertisements.
    Why are all these millions of people paying to use the AOL software, and now we are bombarded with advertisements????

    i have been a aol customer since 1995 - this new aol gold is driving me crazy - you try to read an article and a half page article pops up - why do i have to go through this when i am paying for gold - please do something ABOUT THIS

  • A. E.Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    How true - frustrating and making one get very disinterested in anything AOL has to report. Time is of the essence and clicking past one ad after the other makes one weary and very tempted to LEAVE AOL.

  • zeke zeke commented  ·   ·  Report

    advertisers pay attention:
    1. another 5 interesting headline articles I skipped
    2. I pay for aol. I object to having ads interrupt everything
    3. I promise I will never buy anything that tries to force me to look at it
    4. slideshows suck
