Give back old sign in screen where you can see primary and secondary names and if either has messages.

On the old sign-in screen, you could see at a glance your primary and secondary screen names and if either had any messages. Now you only see one user name and you do not see if it has messages. And when you log into it to see if you have messages, it is a huge waste of time to have to get out of primary name and log into secondary name just to see if you have any messages there. Why would you go backwards and create a sign in screen that's not user friendly and one that purposely wastes the user's time? Makes no sense at all!

    Like to see all screen names to know how many emails are in the quee. Keep an email open after it is sent.

    Please give us the functionality to lessen the list of usernames on the sign on page like how the old AOL desktop has.

    Let us add screen names and get deleted one back

    Listen up AOL management ... Here's a very easy solution to the utter chaos you have created with this massive "Gold Upgrade" FAILURE!!!! Just bring back the old version and as quickly as possible. Or, allow those of us who would prefer the older version, have it back!!! You won't lose too many customers this way either! Would be to your great financial advantage!!!

    Bring back the combined list of new emails for all screen names.

    also updating address books entries is very slow on the "save" side.....

    WHY CAN'T WE SWITCH SCREEN NAMES? AOL GOLD IS FOOLS GOLD

  • Barry McQuade commented  ·   ·  Report

    I cannot add additional screen names ad store them. Functionality not working.

  • Ronald Bond commented  ·   ·  Report

    I totally agree that the new and "improved" screen name switch is a big PITA ! Does anyone screen these changes to see if they are better ???
    I have been an AOL client for 22 years and shudder when I hear "improvements" are on the way

    That is my same complaint. Good post!!!!

    Allow me to see ALL of my screen names to determine whether or not I have new emails. Do NOT make me sign into each and every screen name to see if I have new emails. This is VERY time consuming and a waste of my precious time

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please hurry up and fix drop down to see each email address with unread messages. Urgent. This is wasting my time.
    Question: Why would you 'up-grade' &/or 'Fix' something that was working perfectly fine and make it worse? Why take away good features and replace with rubbish or in some cases nothing? So many good features from 9.8.2 are missing replaced with nothing. WHY????

    Using Switching Screen Names to try to check if there is incoming new mail on other SNs is a royal ***. We have to sign out/sign back in under other SNs. On 9.8 checking mail on 5 SNs was a breeze: click on Switch SNs and it would show if you have mail to read AND THEN you could switch or cancel and stay on your usual SN. Now on 11 you have to logout of one SN and sign on to another just to see if there IS any mail. And if there isn't I've wasted time and then have to sign out of that ID and sign into the third to see if it has new mail.

    I routinely use 3 SNs daily, this, one for business, and one to keep track of PayPal purchases/sales. This is a *** and takes a heck of a lot more time than 9.8

    Dear God, really? Are you people TRYING to make Gold as useless and hateful as possible?? Now when I want to change names, not only can I NOT see if my other names have email, but when I choose a name, I then get ANOTHER box, with the name, which I have to confirm, before getting to a password box. REALLY?? What the ****, people???
