    I wholeheartedly agree. Please roll back the change of color and magnification of email title. I hate and it is not necessary

  • CYNTHIA SABO commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, I agree. I hate this new feature. I don't want the text enlarged. Please change it back.

  • Jo Ann Gambill-Dietz commented  ·   ·  Report

    I really thought with enough complaints it would be fixed by now. I cannot believe your post was considered inappropriate when everyone is saying the exact thing and request! So sorry and annoyed.

    Yes, I agree. This feature is annoying and provides a distraction while working.

    I called tech support and the guy tried to upsell (I would have to pay) me assistance at a second level. I told him I tried the Geek Squad at Best Buy . They cant help. I am unable to install NET 4.8 or even windows 8.1. I will lose AOL Gold on my PC after 4/26.

  • VENETTIA MADDUX commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with all these others. It is a terrible feature and we should have the option to remove it.

  • ARLENE CUNNINGHAM-O CONNOR commented  ·   ·  Report

    I wasn't notified that there will be a changed with the highlights color when I check my emails. The color yellow is too bright and the title of the email is in bold black and I don't like that and it's too hard to read. I prefer the old version.

    I will keep sending daily complaints until AOL removes the highlighted enlarged font or gives us a way to at least return to the original way. Very distracting, annoying, makes me dizzy. I called into tech support and they told me to use a different browser to read aol mail if it bothers me that much! Can you believe that!!! I am a very, very long time PAYING CUSTOMER who uses the Desktop Gold software.

    All of the comments in the last few days about this issue have been removed and my comments have been flagged as inappropriate. Can you believe that? AOL decided to make an awful change and I give feedback and it is flagged as inappropriate?

Now they are making the decision to make useless changes.

    What a terrible surprise this is! It's extremely distracting.

  • Linda Sims commented  ·   ·  Report

    From your 3/24/22 update --- ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT STAND the change on hovered-over email.  Hate the magnification, and hate the yellow/orange color!!!!!!!    Please change it back!

  • deephorizonusa commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please go back to the old way of seeing highlighted mail. It now changes color and becomes larger. Becomes harder to use when deleting mail.

  • Jo Ann Gambill-Dietz commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why are Comments Closed on the Subject yellow/orange enlarged email is terrible and aol has stopped even show input from subscribers. Very Odd that is now posted. What's up with that? Just return back or at the very least let us opt out. Please listen to us and stop this feature. Quoting 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.

  • KARREN MORELAND commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree. Get rid of this magnification bar and the color. The color is WAY too bright.

  • JESSE THRALL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Make new email highlighting that enlarges text with an orange background optional.
