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!!!

I myself, have throughully enjoyed AOL for over 10 years now. Some of you really have been rather rude with your comments.
I live in a rural area, and not being able to get high speed internet directly through AOL,I've had to use another. I would like to see the original AOL sigh on screen, rather than having to go through Inernet Explorer.
I do heve to pay both AOL & my High Speed server is the only bummer, but I still like AOL.

I am just flabbergasted(totally confused) I am a supporter of change and try to adjust but this is a bit much. I am 77 years old and I have been with AOL for some years. I believe that it would help those of us, who are older and perhaps a little slower,to have an option to keep what we had or excet the new edition. As you age it is sometimes difficult to adjust,quickly,to radical change.I am sure there are many out there like me. Thanks for listening.

i can't get an answer on how to permantley delete all my em's at one time by contacting aol.help. answer me by em thing. nobody ever even looks at those em's i don't think. you'll need to fix things that are wrong before you go out and screw something else up that apparently isn't working for 90% of the users.

No I don't like deleting items from the spam folder then haveing to delete each one individually from recently deleted.
Spams once deleted should remain deleted.
I don't like the favorites set up nor do I like having to sign on 3-6 times on aol.
In my opinion AOL has gotten worse and timely downloading.

I, too, have been a 10+ year user of AOL, and I also am disapponited with the changes. The address book is hard to use and it has been one of the main reasons I have not switched to another browser. I agree with the comment made about having a choice - I would like the option of have a choice in the old or new screen. I do not like the Desktop and since I got a new computer, I was not given an option to download the 9.0 (not the 9.0VR) so I am stuck. I hate the screen size, the IM box and the fact that everytime I type in an address it takes me to the aol search engine page. I really don't want to change browser's but I am really considering it, problem is it's hard to find one that is not very similar.... :-(

I don't like the new format. Previously, I complimented AOL's homepage. Today, it is a disaster. There are overlays on my screen. If this is the best you can do;expect a cancellation from me. If it isn't broke,don't fix it.

I liked aol for years. I got high speed and switched to Firefox and aol was completely different. I finally got used to it, now you changed it again. When I go on the internet I have no arrow to go back, I have tried everything. I also have safari and that has the arrows, but I like using firefox better. Tell me what happened to the back arrows.

the AOL screen has been foreshortened so that the right side has to be moved to read this side No reason given for this
can barely read the ads here
