Ads
I see you've made the ads side bar larger with no way to make it smaller, only to reduce the size of my email space. This is unconscionable.? Soon it will just be big ads and a little space to read our emails. Plus we can't eliminate these ads. Any ideas how to keep this decades long time client?

Desktop Gold is a paid service.
Shouldn't there be a way to reduce or eliminate unwanted ads? -

I ask again and again, "What is wrong with you people at AOL?"

As of May 20, 2025 the AOL Gold Desktop advertising area became enlarged, right hand side/Column, with no way to minimize or revert back to smaller space. As a Paid membership, Not appreciated nor welcome Revert Back previous advertising space allotment.

When checking my new mail, the ads on the right are so large now, they're cutting off my unread mail. Is there a way to shrink them? The decrease arrows do not work to make them the size they once were. Don't want to pay extra for ad free service, have been using and paying for AOL for over 20 years.

The ads on the mailbox area have gotten bigger while my email display has gotten smaller. Not happy with this change since I pay for my AOL desktop every month. This is making me reconsider my chose for email. Thinking of quitting AOL. Rediculous!

Saw this already posted but 'Closed" ??? -- Unable to reduce size of AD sidebar in Mail... Did you think we wouldn't notice? With a vision impairment, and on a laptop, this AD sidebar doubling in size is NOT the way to treat a paying customer. And one who's membership goes back well over 26 years. Bring BACK the slim AD sidebar so it infringes less on the mailbox in Gold!
