Feature Spotlight: Homepage Layout Chooser
Posted Aug 12th 2007 6:51PM by Lisa Edwards
Based your feedback, it's clear that one size doesn't fit all. That's why we created two homepage layouts so you can choose the experience that works best for you; the three column layout (our new default view) or the two column layout that's similar to the previous version of the AOL.com Homepage.
To change your homepage layout, just click on the page icon at the top right corner (next to the color picker) and your homepage will refesh to display the appropriate layout.
We we hope you find the feature useful. Let us know what you think!
Best,
Lisa

281. I recently went to broadband connection aol did not offer it to me so I cancelled my pay account and was told I could keep my screen names and all buddy list and address book. I use internet explorer browser and can access the mail and sign in but I have no address book or aim? they told me I could use the same screen names but when I go to access the missing components they tell me I can no longer use the same screen name? I can sign on to aol icon on the desktop and access all the features why cannot I get them through internet explorer? I have access to the broadband with road runner.
would appreciate ann help you can give me with this problem

283. I have never in my life ever been so mad about anything until AOL reared it's ugly head. I wish there was a way I could sue AOL for shutting down my blackvoices web page. For the past 5 years, I have been very delighted with my blackvoices e-mail. Now, I can't get to it and AOL keep ignoring my request to direct me to my blackvoices e-mail page so I can get all my e-mail addresses and other messages before I close it. Thanx AOL for screwing up my life. I'm a construction businessman and do most my bidding with other contractors via e-mail. So far, I have lost 3 jobs i could have had if I had been able to get into my e-mail and confirm my bid. Someone tell me how to make AOL responsible for causing me to lose so much money. This my livelyhood.

286. AOL email is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOOOW...it is rediculous. How is it possible to be so slow as if I had dial-up?

287. You should be ashamed of yourselves with the sensationalized headline about the China Air plane crash. Having to click to the link to discover that all survived and no one was seriously injured is cheezy sleazy journalism. I don't read that kind of garbadge at the supermarket and don't want to see it on my AOL.

288. I really don't care what you use for a home page, just decide on one and leave it alone. What I really want is constant reliable,fast, and uncluttered operation.
The past two (2) weeks I have not had any of the above.
Today is the worst yet, almost 4minutes to open a news article & longer to open my email.
I'm afraid you guys are shooting yourself in the foot.
Please work on speed and reliability instead of little cutsie projects that absolutely no one wants.
Or spend some time reviewing your design & marketing team.

291. Must we have to look at the woman blowing her nose every time we open AOL? I'm about ready to dump AOL as that picture is disgusting, A new picture should be shown each day, not the same old, same old. Leave well enough alone. Go back to the way it used to be.
