Associated Content and Yahoo Contributor which are now Yahoo Voices

Wow, thanks for your help. You answered my questions and concerns. I feel better. Your second paragraph says something about "judging by the comments". Where are the comments? I still find AC somewhat confusing and I do not know how to get involved in the forums. I will only get paid 12/14 if I had 1,000 views by November 30th. Right? If It was after the 30th, then I wait until the 2nd Wednesday in January. Right?

I agree, navigation through the site can be very confusing when you are trying to find something specific. I saw the comments posted on the page announcing the new Yahoo! Voices. (http://contributor.yahoo.com/blogpost/131/voices.html) I also found this discussion in the forum: http://contributor.yahoo.com/forum/?thread_id=68565 And yes, payments are based on the previous month. See http://contributor.yahoo.com/help/popup/?help_id=818 Word of warning: myLot tends to do weird things to links, so if any of the links take you to a http.com page, just delete the extra www.http.com// from the address bar and hit go to access the correct page.

One of the links worked well - the other did not. Safari could not connect to the server. I would like to get more involved in the community / forum but it is so complicated. It is not a good forum. I can not quite figure out how to find information or how to post. And a lot of the postings seem to be a repeat of the original posting. I joined Associated Content, now Yahoo Voices, in July. I had some success with upfront payments until late October. Then everything I submitted was rejected for upfront payment although I was allowed to publish after editing. I felt that "something was up" -- that there are changes afoot. And the next months, Yahoo Voices was announced. I am waiting to see if I am going to continued to be denied upfront payments. Apparently from the link that you sent me, it is going to be more difficult to get upfront payments and maybe even published.

Almost certainly you still have an account. I am uncertain why Yahoo decided to to do this. You can still go to Associated Content or Yahoo Contributor and log in. This change only took place last week but it had been announced. You should have a message on your home page about the change(s). I am uncertain what is different but I feel that it is going to be more difficult to get published. I have the feeling that they are trying to upgrade.

I did not realize there was a new format. I have only been with Associated Content, now Yahoo Voices, since July. So maybe I have only known what you call a new format. I am new to freelance writing online. I was making a small amount of money on Associated Content and found it very satisfying. I hope that when Yahoo Voices settles in, I will find it equally satisfying and continue to make a little money.

I did. I got paid Wednesday. But I still have not had my last submission reviewed. It has been over two weeks. I have sent a email to customer services without any response. Is there a continuing problem about reviewing submissions since the change? Would you know? What would you suggest?
