    Get rid of the yellow/orange highlighting on email or at least give the option to turn it off!

  • Marge Barham commented  ·   ·  Report

    PLEASE REMOVE THE ENLARGED TYPE AND THE GOLD BAND. IT'S HORRIBLE TRYING TO READ EMAILS WITH THIS DISTRACTING GOLD BAR AND LARGE TYPE.

  • Denver Murray commented  ·   ·  Report

    Sorry AOL Beta Team, but I agree with everyone. The large font *and* highlight selecting over mail has got to go. I like the concept, but it's too distracting. I am sure you will figure it out and make it better. Thank you. :)

    Just get rid of that highlight feature--then get rid of the wonk that thought it was a good idea..

    AOL Desktop Gold mail has started to bold and add an orange highlight to each line of email as I scroll through my emails. It's ANNOYING. I want it to stop

  • Arlene Patoray commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your new gold highlighting is so repulsive that I'm seriously considering no longer using AOL Gold if I can't get rid of that obnoxious feature.
    It was bad enough that there was no need to put two blue highlighting bars for email (after all, you only read one email at a time!!), but this new option is so truly awful that I'm avoiding using AOL Gold when I check my mail.

    Please get rid of the enlarged font size as we scroll over our email, it is VERY annoying... Please go back to the way it used to be.

    AOL has a choice me or this hideous orange highlight bar - One of us has to go - Change it back now or let us opt out - Don't personalize my browsing experience without my input!!!

  • Lou Galasso commented  ·   ·  Report

    I also agree 100% with Jo Ann - Been with AOL over 20 years - These kinds of automatic updates with "NO" opt out option have me ready to MOVE ON!!!

  • Lou Galasso commented  ·   ·  Report

    AOL has ton's of ways to "PERSONALIZE" the browsing experience realizing each person is different - Then some developer decides to personalize my e-mail with "HIS" hideous yellow bar and magnifier with no opt out option and defeats the whole purpose of personalization!!!

  • Victor Elder commented  ·   ·  Report

    remove the highlighter yellow or at the very least have the option, it is more than just a little annoying

  • BRYAN NEWSHAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add option to eliminate the annoying Yellow/Gold highlight and boxes to right of cursor..

  • AMY ADAMS commented  ·   ·  Report

    Get rid of orange highlight on email - very distracting, annoying and a few more things

  • Jo Ann Gambill-Dietz commented  ·   ·  Report

    Mailbox - Yes, I will keep posting till it is back to original format. April 2, 2022 Considering it's the weekend, I'm unsure much can be done, but to quote another subscriber, “The new "feature" in my email inbox that enlarges the font when I hover the mouse over an email is making me dizzy.” The jerking is also a major visual annoyance along with this horrible orange color. Please return to the Previous email format immediately! Been with Aol 25 years and pay $9.99 a month / that’s $119.88 a year for Aol Gold and still get ribbing from family and friends when I mention I still pay for email service. I love Aol, but perhaps it’s time for me to close account and move on if this issue is not resolved to subscribers satisfaction. Jo Ann Dietz

    When I put the cursor over the list of emails (under where it says, date, subject), the text gets larger. I have a headache disorder and the changing sizes disturbs me.

  • Lou Galasso commented  ·   ·  Report

    I will terminate my account if developer does not give me away to get rid of the highlighted and enhanced e-mail pointer issue - update #3 version 11.0.3667 "AUTOMATICALLY" changed how I view my e-mails and I absolutely "HATE" it and will not continue with AOL if this issue persists

  • ALETHA JELLADIAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    Get RID OF that awful orange highlight on my incoming e-mail list that is absolutely driving me crazy!!!! It is so irritating and slows me down because it is very distracting. Thank you. Make it soon! Hope we don't have to wait too long to get that REMOVED!!!!!
