I hate when AOL uses this format cuz I can't read anything that is under the pictures...I can't enlarge the screen to get more of it either...maybe it is just my computer but when they do the smaller pictures with the words written on the side I can see it...I can't read who the partners are...just see their pictures and I don't recognize all of these people :(

I totally agree about the picture size! Thought my computer was the only weird one. I even have a LARGE monitor and still can't see the writing underneath. :-(

By Barbara

Thanks for clearing this up for me, Judy...all along, I thought it was my computer!!!!!!!!
I don't know why they do this...can't read who the people are...who the partners are...ridiculous!

By jean

I get the same thing its really annoyes me

By Gabs

let's try this again...AOL was written for a screen resolution of 1152 X 864. I'm guessing that those of you who can not see the whole picture as intended had your resolution set on 800 X 600. Soo - unless you need it that large due to poor eyesight, try changing the resolution to at least 1024X768, or better yet the intended 1152X864. To do that go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Display tab/then Settings again...and move the slider to change the settings - hit apply - and if you like it, save that setting. You will then see AOL screens as intended. Good luck

By michelle

judy, I agree,I don't think it's your computer..it happens to me too.You pull the pic as far up before it hits the search menu and u still can't read all of it!! Frustrating like so many things with AOL.

Point your cursor to the top of the picture where you see "photo gallery" and simply move the picture up. The writing appears. Did this help you?

No, no....thank you both for letting me know it's not just me and my computer... lol..

The creep Tom delay will either win or come really close because he's got thirty million dumb ass republicans that will vote for him every week.They will probaly have a grass roots effort.Remember the old lady who stayed and stayed way past her time.Look for delay to do the same thing

By Linda

WOW - thanks Judy and everyone else confirming the screen thing. I HATE THAT!!!!!

By William W Kenney

I'm tired of hearing about any of the Osmands. They had their "15 minutes" of fame years ago. They must be part owners of one of the dinner time gossip shows. They are mentioned on one of them almost every day. Enough is enough!.
