We received a lot of negative feedback from you about the color of the new Homepage. You told us that the new color options were too neutral, washed out and a radical (but not welcome) departure from the familiar "AOL Blue".
So we took your feedback to heart and went to work on a new set of color options that features a more familiar blue as the default color and a set of more saturated (some might say "juicy") color options for you to choose from.
But before we go ahead and make another change, we want to get your opinion on the new Homepage color options. Check out the new AOL Homepage color options and then let us know what you think. Do you love them? Do you hate them? Or do you not care that much? We want to know!
You can go back to the current the AOL Homepage color options at any time.
My Name is Lisa and I'm the Product Lead for AOL.COM. In short, I lead the team that designs, builds the new versions of AOL.com and make sure that current experience run smoothly. My mission (the team's mission) is to build the best home page for you and everyone that visits AOL.com. This is definitely NOT a one person operation. It takes a village! And I'll be introducing you to the team behind the scenes in the coming weeks.

1. I DON'T LIKE THE NEW AOL HOMEPAGE. I HAVE DSL WITH VERIZON/AOL.
I WAS SENDING AND RECEIVING MAIL FROM AOL. I DOWNLOADED THE TOOL BAR AND NOW ALL MY MAIL IS BEING SENT FROM AIM.! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR 4 DAYS NOW AND HAVE HAD NO RESULTS.I WAITED FOR 2 1/2 HRS. ON THE PHONE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP UNTIL I GAVE UP. I HAD AOLTECH SUPPORT AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. LATKO14304@AOL.COM

2. i've written 3 blog comments and posts and you freaks keep on
screwing it up and messing it over. I'm a great writer and it's not right for me to do the work and then you steal it, lose it whatever you do. By the way you will pay for it eventually.

8. I like the color green. Don't like the new AOL which delays or even eliminates me getting my email. Slows everything down.

9. I actually like the green color. For some reason, the new AOL has slowed down everything for me. Cannot get my email sometimes. Very aggravating.

11. 1. WHEN I DRAG THE ICON TO MAKE IT MY HOMEPAGE, WHAT HAPPENS? NOTHING!
2. WHEN I CLICK FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS, WHAT HAPPENS? GET AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT IT DOESN'T SUPPORT MY INTERNET EXPLORER BROWSER! THE SAME BROWSER I WAS USING JUST THIS MORNING ON AOL.COM!!!
3. I CAN'T RETRIEVE MY EMAIL! CLAIMS MY PASSWORD IS INCORRECT! HAVE TO CHANGE IT TWICE IN AS MANY HOURS!
I HAVE GIVEN UP ON AOL/NETSCAPE! FORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE AOL AS MY ISP!!! GOODBYE AOL/NETSCAPE. BEEN FAITHFUL FOR YEARS BUT, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
(AS IF YOU REALLY READ THESE COMMENTS!!!!)

13. Have you ever heard "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" Your constant changing of the home page is very annoying.

16. I hate the way the folder for news pops up every stinking time I sign on, overtop my emails! If I WANT to read the news, I will click on it! I sign ON to read email, not the news right off! It seems to take LONGER to sign on with this folder on there, that I DO NOT NEED!
