Improve Article Comments Notifications... not working
Article comments notifications NOT working for a week now. The icon shows notifications are there but when the icon is clicked to see notifications, nothing shows up. Why have a comment section is readers cannot participate in discussions. Will someone fix this already.

Problem with Bell Icon Notification for Likes and/or Replies on News Article Comments
There's been an ongoing issue, of late, with the Bell Icon notifications for "Likes" and/or "Replies" to comments made on AOL's news articles. The number will momentarily appear above the icon, but when you click on it...NOTHING new (bold print) in the pop-up list of notifications. In order to discern what was said, had to go to account listings and GUESS at what article I commented on. Why, you ask? Because there's also a glitch with the word POSTED not appearing (which won't permit you to click & go automatically to your comment). Nor is there a pic or headline…

Technical issues within articles
Notifications not working in the article section for several days. It doesn't seem anyone is addressing the issue. What is the point of the comment section if one cannot interact?

When i try to see a full story, it eill mot appear and i receive an error messsge
When i click on a story title to see the rest of the article, I receive an error message. I have to uninstall AOL, and then I have to reinstall AOL. This lasts for one day. It would be nice if AOL would call me back to let me know that the problem has been fixed, but AOL evidently does not provide excellent customer service. However, AOL will gladly take my money when I pay my bill.

Banner Text For News Items Missing on Firefox, have to hit F5 key 4 times for text to appear. What is causing this?
About a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the text next to the news banners was somehow gone. I am using Firefox and if I hit the F5 key usually 4 times the text will appear. What is causing this? This is the first time I have experienced this problem but it is still happening when I call up my home page AOL.COM Why does hitting the F5 key 4 times suddenly fix the problem? Any ideas of what is causing this?

Fix the problem with the Comments section
I'm currently having a problem accessing the Comments. Signed into AOL on Microsoft Edge and couldn't pull up Comments there either. AOL's live chat was no help, nor was calling them directly. They said the only way for an IT Tech to see if this even warrants their attention is to read a post on this Feedback. And when you first submit the feedback, it winds up really low on the totem pole (somewhere in the thousands).

Improve performance of the Ads shown on AOL pages by using image-only vs interactive videos - they are resource hogs
The interactive video ads are resource hogs and cause perpetual Wait messages or total non-response and page and computer lock-up. I need to constantly run the optimization utility to free up space or, when totally locked-up, force machine crash-type shut down of my computer and the reboot. This is not at all anything remotely close to being but user-friendly.

Fix the rejection issue that I am experiencing
All my posts are rejected, when I appeal, my appeals are denied. My posts are respectful, truthful, and verifiable with no curse words or misspelled words. When I reported the issue to you customer service via chat, they sent me to this feedback forum to fix the issue. It is very annoying and as a dues paying customer, if it is not addressed soon, I will stop paying for my AOL service. I can get bad service for free.

Notifications not working in articles
In AOL articles, my notifications are showing I have notifications but when I click on the icon I get a message saying, "No Notifications Yet - start interacting with others and your inbox will be full in no time" This has been going on for 2 days. This is not the first time this has happened. Why does this happen and how can it be fixed?

Poor choice of 'news' articles
Your choice of headlines/articles is not appreciated. Too many nearly naked women and not enough news. Tabloid style clickbait is unfortunate. Yahoo isn't great but, it's better. Get your heads out of the gutter.

Why are you leding with snuff audio stories?
Your opening screen has a lede that is disgustingly pandering: Nurse Was Sexually Assaulted, Tortured and Killed in Hours-Long Attack, and Audio Captured the Horror: Prosecutors
This is "snuff audio" and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

For the last month I have been signing on to my app on my phone and when I try to read the article, stories that are shown in the feed they do not open.
Below it says open story or article, you click on it and it takes you to another page that says Oops something sent wrong try again.
I go down the list of stories and the same thing happens on all of them.
I have had to uninstall and reinstall the app four or five times this month.
