The Kroll ads are multiplying. They can't be closed, they appear in pairs and pairs of pairs, they are constantly moving, and they can't even be commented on. I wonder if AOL is in the process of closing and if they get everyone to quit there is some advantage to the closing? It seems most people have stayed out of history only.

I hesitate to even mention an ad by name but if these Kroll ads stay, then I go. Of all the ads, they can't be "x"d out. Do your clients at AOL know that you are using ads placed on their service to drive all of their business away? I can't believe no one hasn't pointed that out to them. So this comment is not attached to a Kroll ad because you can't comment on a Kroll ad. We're sick of looking at that guy and we're sick of the constant flickering of images preventing us from reading or writing. AOL is working against their own interests hiring you this service for ads. Or maybe that's the point. Getting ready to sell AOL to GMail. Oh - when you attempt to "X" out a Kroll ad it makes sure you get nothing but Kroll ads. I think this is a deliberate effort to drive us away.

I guess at this point it is unlikely we'll ever see the "good" AOL again. AOL erased the first 14,000 comments telling them how much we all despise the "improved" version. There are only 900 more comments because I guess we realize AOL has no intention of giving its users what they want. The "good" AOL that we used for years was easy to be creative on, with easy to manipulate writing windows, with ease of inserting and sizing images, with many choices of font, size and color. Now they are as unimaginative as Gmail & Microsoft's email. Of course the "new" AOL has Ads everywhere, as does it's sibling, Yahoo. It was nice while it lasted. AOL/Yahoo is not interested in you. They won't get what they want however, which is young & new users, because the people who don't need to be creative will not be leaving Gmail soon.

The answer to an earlier question is that there was a thread with about 14,000 complaints which AOL removed. The 800+ in this thread are the ones added since the 14,000 were removed. AOL & Yahoo are simply trying to be GMail, but with more flaws, more stumbling blocks, losing all the unique customization, and with ads. They have elected to give up on all the nice things we liked about AOL because they feel they can attract some kids by imitating GMail. Except they can't. So they just end up disappointing their existing base.

A reminder, folks. The more you call yourselves "old-timers" the more AOL will ignore you. They want the adolescent crowd and so are attempting to imitate GMail. Except they have ads all over the email. Personally, I think AOL had a unique and valuable product in the "old" AOL with options for font, size, color, insertions - really brought out the artists. Oh BTW, don't you all still wonder what happened to the 14,000 thumb's down comments that AOL erased?

AOL does not care what you think. AOL wants to make AOL and Yahoo clones of GMail. But they can't. Because AOL depends on ads. Original AOL was unique in the options and personalization available, as well as it's ease of use, especially with inserted images. AOL & Yahoo realize that their customers who like the uniqueness and personalization of original AOL may be older than their target audience and that they need to get younger customers. They have chosen imitating GMail to do this. Except they have ads, and GMail does not. GMail has other sources of income and does not need ads. I would love to use original AOL forever. Apparently they feel they cannot survive unless they do something different. But this is not the way to do it. Personally, I wish they would get more customers by building on the uniqueness of original AOL. Apparently AOL/Yahoo disagrees.

Matthew Furman, I tried the link you found and provided. I cannot see it as it says my email address does not have permission to enter. The 14,000 comments are hidden.

You are correct, steelebourne
The post with close to 14,000 comments about how bad this downgrade is, has mysteriously disappeared.
AOL removed all the customizable features that made it so much better than those that came later: GMail.
Of course, without Google's ad revenue from other sources, AOL has to splash disruptive ads all over the email interface.
I don't know if AOL will be successful trying to imitate GMail. If someone wants GMail they will use GMail.
It isn't just a matter of tweaking individual problems. The previous AOL filled a niche that a GMail with ads cannot serve.An error occurred while saving the comment Baabel Seventeen

What happened to the previous #1 thread with the nearly 14,000 comments describing how bad the "new & improved" AOL is?
