I am 72 years old. I cannot do the new watchlist! Why do they want to get rid of it? I have tried, and had my kids try. Please don't get rid of the old PM. Please, please, please.

You may have recently imported data from the Classic MSN or my.msn.com pages to the new MSN.com Money Watchlist/Portfolio and may not have received all of your Watchlist/Portfolio data. The MSN team has resolved the issue and you can now regain access to that information by following the steps below.
Note: These steps only apply if your Watchlist has already been imported and there is data missing. If you have not already imported a Watchlist, please go to the Watchlist, sign in, and you will then be prompted to begin the import. You may need to return to this step if you find that data is missing after your first attempt to import.
Step 1: Create a new Watchlist and delete any Watchlists from previous imports
Step 2: Re-import your existing Watchlist or Portfolio data from MSN.com or my.msn.com into a new Watchlist
Step 3: Clean any erroneous data imported into your new Watchlist(s).
If you need more details about the steps, please go to this article.
If you are still having difficulties or would like to report any errors, please reply to this thread.
Thank you!

2014-10-27T23:14:41+00:00 Just going by what Adriana told me last which was 10/30. Hopefully they will extend it yet again if they are unable to provide a solution beforehand to those of us still unable to import all our accounts.

I wish there was a way to export from the Portfolio Manager so we have a backup copy as the team is working on trying to get My Watchlist fully functional.

2014-10-27T22:29:01+00:00 With the old portfolio manager only accessible for 3 more days, I wanted to follow up again to find out if there was any update from the product team regarding those of us that have accounts that will not import?

2014-10-27T22:00:50+00:00 This morning I tried to reimport my PM and all was successful with your new instructions except you should not name your new files to which you want to import at the new site first before going to the import area. You should rename them when you ask to reimport and that field comes up with your old file names. Otherwise it says you already have that name (even though it has nothing in it at the new site).
Anyway, As to the contents of my new import--The totals are correct but the "Buy dates" are still wrong. **Every buy transaction is one day earlier than it was entered in the old PM. Bizarre!**This happened the first time I imported last month too.
Please allow us to keep the old PM!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the updated steps to reimport the data. I will relay this to the product team and report back on this thread when I have a solution.
