Game Launch and Helpful Links

Well, the new AOL games site has launched.  It has been a long road and we're finally here.  I started working on this project back in April and it is now live.

Unfortunately,  it has not gone as smoothly as we all would have liked. 
Here are the outstanding issues as I see it:
1.  People can't find the games THE WAY THEY USED TO.
That is to be expected with a change.  My advice is,  use the search box!
The search box will narrow the list of games AS YOU TYPE. 
OR you can go to this URL.  This is a list of game on our site
All games on AOL Games
All online games on AOL Games
All Pogo games on AOL Games

2.  There are serious log in issues. 
       This one is a bigger problem as it is completely annoying to have to log in and logout of a site as you move across games.  The issues occurs between AOL Games and Pogo games.  When you go to Pogo you get logged out and have to log back in.  It stinks. 
3.  All our game launch pages are hosted on Games.com
   
Yeah,  this one is weird.  See,  we have two sites,  one that is AOL games and has Pogo games on it, and that doesn't.  Games.com has no Pogo games on it.  See the issue comes when you play a game and get kicked over to Games.com then try and navigate and can't find any Pogo games!  How crazy is that!  You probably think you've lost your mind.  You haven't  That was something that we tried to see if it would work and didn't.  We're working on this issue and hope have it resolved next week.

4.  Slingo
The Slingo issues on our site pre-date the relaunch by two-weeks,  but I wanted to make sure these were not forgotten.  We're working with Slingo to rectify things.

Why did you think(?) it had to be changed?  I'm about ready to quit the whole thing.  Please admit you made a boo-boo and get us back to what we enjoyed without all the hassle - or is this just a way to make more money??

I can't pull up any games that I play on POGO.  Why fix what is not broken? Leave it the way it was.
