    I can no longer even try to read any of your stories with 4-5-6 ads popping up covering the content. Aren't advertisers smart enough to understand if people aren't watching they aren't seeing the obnoxious ads?

    Fix ALL of the issues you have, then we can talk about improving it

    Stop posting stories that require "next" to read. Get with the real world. Everything is faster...everything. If I am paying (which I am), you are discouraging me. I don't see the benefit.

    Posting repetitive, old stories, and more ads than news make me feel as if you think I can't see or read. I don't need all the interruptions. I literally stop reading things like Honest Paws stories and Google the results.
    You are slowly but surely losing a former anchor, reporter, and loyal fan of your service because you are not keeping up with what you used to give us for free; and/or taking the time to get some writers on your team! Pull stories I can read in minutes. Watch TikTok, Instagram, the use of Texting, television commercials, and You Tube. They have all caught on to the fact that people just want the facts. If I wanted a newspaper I would buy one.

    put the articles on one page and stop the NEXT PAGE in order to read the article.. I have stop reading all of the cause it takes to much time and is annoying to do. keep it simple

    I ordered two zen-Boosters and decided to try and return them within the 30 day guarantee period. They are not responsible to my request. They advertise that the boosters can be returned and they failed to mention in their ad that the booster is only a single band booster. As far as I am concerned they are a bunch of thieves. AOL is loosing credibility by letting them advertise.

    Too many google ads cannot read anything I open, I am a gold vip but may have to find another site to avoid all the overwhelming ridiculous ads.

    It's getting extremely frustrating to read a story on AOL...the constant shifting so that one lands on an advertisement is ridiculous!
    I have given up reading any stories offered by AOL.

    My experience is that the picture flashes -- it enlarges and contracts continuously. It is ******* the eyes. It is very annoying.

    The rotating, strobing icon for the Bingo Blitz ad at the top of the email screen is about all I can take. If it continues, I will cancel my account and just use gmail. Additionally, this pulsating visual could actually induce a seizure in someone with epilepsy. Therefore, you should discuss this with your risk management department.

    The AD on the AOL Desktop Gold above when opening the mail is always showing. The spinning wheel ad for the Bingo game and it cannot be removed. Please try to remove this ad.

    The AD above the mail is always showing and hopefully it will be removed from there.

    when trying to use mapquest.com, can't read or see anything because of the frigging ads....... stop it . PLEASE !!!!!

  • ladylovey commented  ·   ·  Report

    Well AOL Gold has done it again!!! It was bad wnough that to read an article you had to flip through many pages and wade through assorted ads. Now in order to read an interesting article it takes up 1/3 of the page and the remaing page is ads and popups!!! Are you trying to discourage members from reading?? Cause it's working, after seening the first page of many I cancel out of the article...I don't want to work so hard just to read....... Have you heard of the expression "if it ain't broen leave it alone!" you've changed so many really good that were a big part of AOL in the past has it occured to you to perhaps bringing a few back!

    THIS IS MY IDEA. FOR ALL OF US THAT CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DAMNED POPUPS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT WE ARE READING, LET'S STOP USING AOL BROWSER AND TO TO ANOTHER WHERE THE DAMNED ADS DON'T POPUP IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT WE WANT TO READ. WAKE UP AOL!!!!!!!!!!!~!!!!!!

  • ROBERT ROCKMAKER commented  ·   ·  Report

    AOL does not STOP the full page pop-ups from appearing 3-5 times each day, I will no longer be a customer. I will move all of my email to another E client and say good-bye to AOL for ever.

  • Cliff Eubanks commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want to curse b/c I don't want to waste time reading through 25+ **** pages just to find out what the key point of the articles are about. EX: Astronaut surprise mystery, reason for backing out of commanding an important flight? WHY DO I HAVE TO FLIP THRU 25+ **** PAGES ON HIS ENTIRE LIFE STORY JUST TO FIND OUT IT WAS NOTHING MORE THAN SPENDING MORE TIME WITH FAMILY?! This seems to be a routine, sadistic format for your news stories, It only makes me preach against AOL for it's stupid procedures

  • SAM BOOHER commented  ·   ·  Report

    Do not post advertisements that can not be removed or be moved from covering news articles
