    Delete the pop up ads on the welcome page. When you try to read the feature story they Make it impossible th continue with the story.

    How true....just click and click and just give up...senseless to waste our time.
    To me we are just being teased and tormented with the articles!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agreed with others about stories that require clicking "next" to read. I simply stop reading and go back to the welcome screen. AOL was great to catch up on interesting stories. NO MORE!!! Only use it for personal use and emails now. This may soon change to another service.

    I am SOOOOO SICK OF AOL GOLD and Yes the amount advertising is ridiculous. I have to hit "next" at least 20 times to get to point of article tease. Its RIDICULOUS

    AOL ARE YOU GOING TO RESPOND TO ALL OF OUR MESSAGES WITH REGARD TO YOUR ADS BLOCKING PAGES AND WE ARE PAYING FOR YOUR SERVICE, NOT FREE.....PAYING!!!!!! WILL BE CANCELED IF YOU DO NOT STOP.

  • ARLINE GEORGE commented  ·   ·  Report

    This morning I had 7 ads covering the Welcome page before I could read the article. Why so many ads all of a sudden? Is it because so many people have left AOL due to the terrible new version and you need more money? SOLUTION: BRING BACK THE OLD VERSION (nearly perfect) OR ADD TO THIS NEW VERSION THE THINGS THAT ARE MISSING FROM THE OLD!! It should be easy to copy the programs and simply move them to this rotten AOL Gold.

    This is not an IDEA This is a NOTICE for you TO WAKE UP
    I have had AOL for DECADES. I have had enough of Pop ups
    You need to give PAYING members a break. I pay and can't even read an article without GARBAGE ADs in my way!!! I finally give up and Stop reading. You continue flooding paying accounts with ads' I will stop your service. It should not have to take me 15 minutes to read a short article. 10 minutes is constant clicking to X out filthy ads popping up. STOP the POP UP ADS or I STOP PAYING YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Your Choice.

    Drop the ad's and all POP UP's that are annoying when trying to read the article.

    But then you don't listen to us.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The feature is "absolutely ludicrous"...to the point that many times I simply just forget about it and move on. Totally unnecessary and quite annoying!!

  • Gerry commented  ·   ·  Report

    Those pop up ads are a big pain in my butt. One cannot read a news item or any story without those pop ups interfering with the process.
    Why are we paying for this service, if you are doubling up all ads. And secondly, it is only the first ten items that are new. Anything from 11/71 has been sitting in the revolving door for a yer now. You program really is bad and you are greedy and we suffer thru something that should be a run smooth operation.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree! The adds cover the screen to the point that I give up and turn off the article. I do not have the patience to keep on clicking. I stop any article that requires the clicking "next" and retur to the welcome screen.

    AOL is a terrible ISP. It has no consideration for its users and is only
    interested in advertising by nefarious means and selling junk to members.

  • MARGARET HULSE commented  ·   ·  Report

    The ads that are always on the AOL screen (not the popups) take up a full 1/3 of the screen. Even though they appear to be items of interest to me based on searches I have done, I purposely do not look at them or read them....on principal. AOL does not have to rub my nose it ads and I refuse to read them or click on them. I pay money to AOL to provide me with email service, some social media, and the ability to search. I do not pay AOL to get in my face. GOLD has made the Internet experience a lot less user friendly than it was when it was free. More aggravating popup ads, more ads overall, and lots of remaining glitches which have not been addressed.

  • Carole Gribner commented  ·   ·  Report

    When I read that Verizon was buying AOL, I was happy because I hoped they would improve it. But,now it's become worse. Google Ads are awful! They clutter up some web site so that you can't even read an article and you can't get rid of them. They are so irritating! And now, in addition, every time I log onto AOL your Terms of Service pop up. I accepted the terms twice but they are still there every time I log on. Why???

  • JUDI MCINNES commented  ·   ·  Report

    When I click on a story - read 1-2 sentences and see NEXT, I just close the screen. I hate all the ads forced on us and the time it takes to read a short article!

  • MARGARET HULSE commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm paying for the aggravation of having big ads pop up when I am attempting to read articles of interest. Not for long will I be paying if this nonsense isn't stopped. You have ruined peoples' long time satisfaction with AOL with this horrendous AOL GOLD. AOL will not last much longer if you don't listen to your users' desires.

  • Larry Sause commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like to have the adds to be removed in order to pull up my emails without any lags or slowness in my email
