Here's a new problem for the last month or so......after signing on and being online for 15 or 20 min I have to close the welcome box because the constant changing of ads makes my computer sound like something is running in the background...... When I close the welcome box the sound stops!!! Why does there have to be so many ads running in everything, even our mailboxes!!!

Why doesn't AOL offer free ad blocking? It should not be the customer's responsibility to pay extra to have ads blocked. The vermin who post all of this ad **** are doing so on AOL software. Can't you control your own software?

on my IPHONE, I GET DOZENS OF ADS. THEY POP UP EACH TIME I DELETE A MESSAGE. I AM ALWAYS ASKED FOR FEEDBACK BUT I SAY I DON'T LIKE THEM, BUT THEY KEEP COMING. I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR ABOUT 50 YEARS PAYING THE FEES EACH MONTH. I AM GETTING SICK OF IT. NOBODY LISTENS

For what we pay a month for AOL service, I would think we should not have to deal with the extremely annoying ads that cover the context of what we are attempting to read. In addition the page moving just as one is about to hit the "next" button so an ad is hit instead is aggravating as well. I would expect these gimmicks on browsers that are free, but not a premium one as yours. Please discontinue these practices. Thank you.

I realize the purpose of the cute little stories on AOL are to sell ads while amusing me, the client. I've gotten used to it, but this weekend a truly vile ad has popped up. It is--unbelieveably--called cleanrear.com and is accompanied by salacious drawings of a person sitting on the toilet or a women reaching under her mini-skirt. If it only appeared one or twice I wouldn't be objecting, but, in one feature I read, it popped up about 50 times. Sometimes I had 3 of their ads appear at the same time. If you're trying to gross me out, you're doing a great job.

Today, one ad, for a resort hotel, completely covered the page I was reading. I am just going to stop reading all AOL articles.

Stop putting the ads over the article content. Put the ads on the side of the articles, not on top of them. It is very annoying to try to read an article. This morning there were six ads covering the story I was trying to read. One ad, completely covered the page I was reading.

I've noticed that the Delete button / function now has an Advertisement as part of the Dialog Button. Of all the various buttons, I think that the Delete Button is the Worst Place to put an advertisement from the User's Perspective it can cause real problems. There are enough ads already but if you insist on more, create another button called 'ads' and then people can just go there and view all of them !

The Light-In The Box Wig Ad is annoying and distracting. You cannot delete it or stop the objects from moving. Please stop this ad

Gmail and Yahoo may have less ads then AOL. And they are free. The reason I pay for mail is so that I don't have ads. Find a less invasive way to display ads. Not in my mailbox. And... Give us 'news' and not the news where I have to scroll through 20 screens to find out if it really is news. I have had AOL for 20 years or more. I would like to see some better options with calendar and other features and functionality like in Outlook.

PLEASE.......I've all but given up reading articles anymore as it's too difficult to to get past all the pop up ads and having to click continue just to read a small paragraph. What happened to writing just 1 page with the whole article??? In the older versions it was simpler and is it really necessary to have and use so many ads???

your application is a deceiving program that directs you members to view unwanted advertising while trying to a view news stories.Very unethical while also charging for member for use of AOL Gold. You should be paying us for the same.
