Totally Lost
I've been gone for a few weeks and come back to WA - and feel 100% lost. I don't know where half of the stuff is. All my buddy list is gone. There is a bunch of comments that comes up in the center of the screen now and I have no idea who or what those are for? It looks like random posting. It would be nice if there was some place to read about the changes and where things are now - sort of a road map. I guess that doesn't matter or its hidden in here somewhere. Not real happy at the moment with WA. Maybe I just don't belong here!

Don't worry friend, here is a training that only takes a few minutes to read and should help out a bunch, in addition to Carson's blog:

Yeah, good add Keith. Definitely follow through that if you haven't (this is also found within the main menu "Learn How WA Works")
I've just returned recently from an almost four month absense myself and know just how you feel. Don't fret too much my friend. I've figured most of it already and I'm sure you will too. Good luck buddy!
Change creates frustration, it is inevitable. It is like walking into your house and having you furniture moved around. However, I know that you will come to look the community much more once you get used to it (which shouldn't take too long). Many that had the same reaction as you when we rolled out the OEP platform felt the same way...same goes for any update that Facebook, Twitter, etc...there is always frustration.
Your furniture has been moved to better the community. It encourages much more dialogue now and is a much better education platform...something that we can build on and improve in a way that we could have never done with the older version of WA.
Great to have you back and I hope the learning curve isn't too frustrating for you (I know it won't be).
Wealthy Affiliate has been updated to a much better platform that allows us to deliver more relevant training, better support, and an overall better experience.
Please have a read at my blog "What is missing from OEP and WHY" that explains the changes.

when I tried to post my article it said I needed to add at least 5 paragraphs when I added 5 paragraphs it then said I needed to add 13!!! this is getting very frustrating to me. I have no I idea what I am doing wrong.
This is because you are copying and pasting it from MS Word (which has a bunch of junk code attached that causes issues with editors) I would suggest you copy your article into NotePad first before you copy it into Street Articles, this will resolve your issues.
Hey Kyle I wrote the whole article on street article I did not copy or paste anything.
Really, and you are still having issues? When in doubt, put the content on your website. I honestly recommend that with a new website that you put 99% of your content there (versus submitting elsewhere).
