    I quit looking at the stories on AOL for just this reason. I am getting very close to bagging AOL and go somewhere else. Lots of alternatives.

  • DANIEL SCHEFFEY commented  ·   ·  Report

    Email page, advertising takes up right part of the page. Put pointer over a link to see where it will go and "****" I can't see the whole link because of the advertising. The link can't be typed in to be safe. **** is the color, not gold.

    I am sick of ads covering stories I try to read
    There is no way to get rid of them.
    Hate them

  • Roger commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is impossible to read anything on your welcome page because of getting covered up with advertisements. It sucks I'm looking to change servers""

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    aol cares more about the ads then giving long time paid consumers a workable product - sad!!!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    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

  • Valerie Jones commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.

  • RUSSELL HARTMAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.
