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!!!

How do you Repuplicans at AOL justifie three dead GI's a day for four years and still think we should elect Mccain who says he hopes the war should last forever! Its pretty clear that all the people at AOL are Republican. I hope that someone you love or know ends up in Iraq. I will vote for anybody that stops the war, not someone who makes me more money!

I use more than one email address. Previously, both my screen names were "stacked" in the same AIM box. This was great so I could go back and forth. I upgraded my AOL desktop and now one of them is missing! I don't know how to get it back! AND, everytime I open AOL, I get two Welcome screens! One in standard AOL format and the other in Explorer format on two different tabs. Takes forever to load now too!

The place were you can put the finance page will not allow it to stay there for the next time I log in. Also, I don't want to have the sites I've been to show in the www. address window. How can I make it clear like I once had it?

I have been supremely irritated with the changes to my aol page. I cannot find my Favorites that I had saved in the past and that is really really important to me! Please help me find them again! Also, I have to log onto my aol page through Internet Explorer and cannot use my desktop icon anymore.........why and can I change that back? It takes much longer to click and then view my emails than before and it's just not as user friendly. :(

Why change everything around? Why not work on the features you offer...AOL Mobile?
For years I have tried to use the alerts features and reminders for sports and other subjects and never received one on my phone...customer services says "It should work."
Why keep advancing when you can't perfect the basics?

I'd love to be able to skip that screen entirely, and just go right to mail.
I don't like links to lots of places, as I don't use the AOL portal to surf, watch TV, listen to radio, etc., I only use AOL for email. Is there a way to do this without the use of ad-blocking software? I've been a paying AOL subscriber for many years, and don't think I should have to have a smaller screen, or delays for ads.
If things get much worse, I'll have to switch email addresses to one from my high speed cable provider. Like many people, I only kept this because I've had it for so long.

The whole page is so crowded now with information and pop-up and drop downs and adverts that I can no longer find nor have enough space to see the list of emails or read my emails - which is all I want to be able to do. Please give me more free space!
