  2. Remove inappropriate advertising

    I don't want advertisements for women's underwear. I think it is inappropriate to have these ads on the welcome screen. Please give me some option for removing ads that I think are not appropriate.

  4. Since I now pay for AOL Gold, I had rather not see your continual barrage of "benefits" awaiting me. They are distracting and unnecessary

    Since I now pay for AOL Gold, I should have the right to not continually be barraged with all of the benefits I now enjoy. I have to continually decline which is a waste of my time and frustrating. If I want to know about additional services, I'll ask for them!

  10. Ads on Welcome page from things I have searched for Christmas

    I have a major complaint, this has been going on for such a long time, but I have just about had it with ads hitting me in the face constantly, even when I was paying for your most expensive membership. On the Welcome page over to the right hand side, it constantly is showing me things I have searched, I know what I have searched, I dont need to be reminded, but this is the problem, we all have 7 email addresses on our accts, so I have one and my husband has another. This is the issue, I was…

  14. Preferences for Welcome Screen and AOL Benefits

    Suggesting that a possible selection in settings to disable the welcome screen appearing when signing in. I have defaulted to go directly to mail, however, there remains a default to the welcome screen in backdrop. This is rather annoying as I can still see it and my attention is then directed to the welcome screen to make an action to close it .

    Another suggestion is that an alternative news source be available to AOL members to have a discounted subscription to CRTV.
    This would allow members to customize their welcome screen to their preferences and would make the AOL…

  15. Please fix the feed!

    Please be more discerning about what you place in the news feed. I'm less than 10 items in, and already (#7) is a story about Walmart store closings from at least 4 months ago. This is not news. Neither are the numerous photos of famous or semi-famous women with headlines about how skimpy or revealing their outfits are. This junk is just insulting our intelligence. Please make options available to simply get the news OR the gossipy stuff, or whatever else. I don't want to have 80+ stories in the feed when most of them are totally irrelevant!

  16. mute/unmute browser tabs like other major vendors like Chrome, Firefox, etc. Especially annoying are the news feeds on Welcome Tab

    Place Mute/Unmute option on Welcome Screen Tab so blaring audio from news feeds don't blast user out of his/her seat as is the case currently.

  17. New display technique

    I just wanted to express my strong dislike for the new method of displaying articles from the welcome screen articles. They now swoop up from the bottom and it is very disconcerting and annoying
