Today we introduced 6 new Preview Panels that are now available to everyone and we are really excited about them. Added to the list are new Preview Panels for eBay, Finance, Health, Movies, Music, and TMZ.
To refresh everyone's memory, Preview Panels are the 4 large buttons at the top right of the page that expand when you mouse over them. What's great about Preview Panels is that they present a lot of information without taking up a lot of space and cluttering your homepage. Just rollover the Preview Panel to see the content you want without having to click off to another page. Plus, customization options allow you to choose the Preview Panels you want to appear on your homepage.
To select one of these new panels, simply click on the small triangle in the upper right of any of the Preview Panels (except Mail which is permanent – everyone wants to see their e-mail right?). Once you choose a new Preview Panel, your web browser will remember your choices and load these up for you every time you open the page.
We hope that you have a chance to try them all and see which ones you like best. Over the next few weeks, we will highlight each of the new Preview Panels on the blog to give you a better understanding of the new features and functionality.
So we really want to hear your feedback on the all of the new Preview Panels. Do you like them? Are they easy to use? Are there things you wish they could do to make it even better? Are there other Preview Panels that you don't see that you would find useful?
We look forward to hearing from you!!!

Is there way to keep the color scheme from going back to the original scheme every time I log on?

Heather,
if you are using the small color choice boxes at the top right corner of the page, your web browser will remember your choice each time you come back as long as you don't clear your cookies. Are you using a shared public computer or your own private computer? The other thing that could be happening if on a shared workstation is that someone else is coming in after you and changing the colors to something else

I just wanted to say (I LOVE AOL!). I also have been injoying the changes and up grade on my windows (SO THANK YOU AOL). This is the best internet service provider there is. For those people that don't like AOL. Get your internet through someone else. No one is making you have aol. It is only by choice that I have AOL and it's your choice too. So shut up the crying and boo hooing. THINK ABOUT THAT THE NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO COMPLAIN*

I DO NOT WANT EMAIL PREVIEW ON THE PREVIEW BAR!!!! MY MAIL IS PRIVATE AND I WISH TO KEEP IT PRIVATE. SHOWING SENDER NAMES WITH JUST A HOVER OVER THAT BAR IMAGE IS NOT PRIVATE.
GET RID OF THAT FEATURE ASAP! OR I DROP AOL AND SWITCH TO ANOTHER SERVICE!!!

18. No, I don't like the panels. They pop up little boxes if you scroll over them, but you cant turn them off. They're almost as annoying as those ads that suddently take over a huge part of the screen.
I dont like AOL changing things all the time. With Windows XP, you have a choice to have your START MENU and folders look like the older Windows 98 views. Hey AOL, why not have that as an option here? Give us a choice to revert to older views and options.
I was so mad when you changed my Netscape email to a AOL email. I like to have a sound happen when I receive new mail, but I HATE the "You've got mail" sound!! But it's not an option. There's no way to take it off, unless I turn all the sounds off. I wish you would've left my stuff alone, but oh well. I didn't choose you, and I didn't want you!! Too late for that now. :(

I really like the choices - the "Health" one is very intersting, as is Sports and Weather. Thank you for giving me a variety of topics to choose from.
