I always get this message, and to my knowledge, I'm not signed in two places. I tried changing my password, and I still get the message.

At least give me the right to block it!
I don't need the AOLSystemMsg Notice, and it is the most annoying and for my purposes useless message i've seen in years.

Okay make it standard but let us block it...

I find this annoying too. Many times I leave my desktop machine logged in and hit the road and when I log in from my laptop, it pops up or I'll log in from my phone and get a message I have to clear right away. I wish I could block it.

A comment on the problem "I am tired of AIM telling me I am logged in from 2 places" in AOL:

I'd like an option to disable or block this message, or maybe have it recognize if one of the devices is a mobile device. Every time I open aim on my computer I get a message there, and then a few seconds later my phone rings and i've got the message there too... I know my phone's logged in, it ALWAYS is logged in, stop telling me. – c0uch, on September 16, 2008 19:22

AOL v.29a: Buddy's Revenge (http://is.gd/18dZ)

The AOLSystemMSG is entering pop culture! This is some kind of horror story based around our good friend.

A comment on the problem "I am tired of AIM telling me I am logged in from 2 places" in AOL:

I often disconnect by closing my computer, and reconnect minutes later. I use the latest verion of iChat, on the most updated OS X, with a perfectly running PowerBook, etc. Every Single Time I get that irritating message telling me I'm logging in at two places. It ruins the experience. – Brad Fidler, on July 29, 2008 22:50

Yeah, that makes sense. The message should give you useful information about the other location. I wonder what info they can display? – Leslie Chicoine, on July 07, 2008 18:41

I get the "Signed-in in two places" message, but I don't know where the other place could be. I don't use AIM anywhere but through my laptop iChat app. It would be more useful as a security message if it could tell you what the other location could be: machine name, IP address or whatever.
