Okay, everyone here is the response from terrielacy.

Your swaps can go where they were before.

They may not be posted as Articles or "Wiki". You can do swaps in BST or the section where you were doing them before, just not posted as an educational article.

The Articles section is for Articles to educate, not as a transaction area.

Hope that helps. Maybe you can help the other members to understand this before it gets out that we are being mean again and a big issue erupts.

Thanks!

So we can continue are swapping as before. If you set up a new swap page make sure you do not post it as an Article or Wiki. I have not tried to set up a new page so I don't know what options are available but make sure you don't choose Article.

I hope that helps. Anyone with knowledge of setting up a page under the new system please sound off.

I have remove posts related to corancher's post above. Please, before panicking, find out what's going on. Thanks.

This is now a non issue, so back to your regularly scheduled swap.

I didn't ever move my swap pages, they were called articles since the upgrade.

I'm so confused. Do I need to move my page or not?

 

[anderson8505]

Mine doesn't seem effected, I've been using the same one since before the change. I've made edits, looked around to see if it says "article" anywhere. I'll try to set up a new page as a test, see where it gives a choice for "article", see if I can help in some way.

Okay, that's confusing. When I added a page, it appears they are all called "articles" there is a drop down list where you can choose if it is a coop design, member page, chicken page, etc, you can also choose who can edit the article.

The verbage is hanging us up, corancher. Since mine is fine, I'm not going to make a fuss, but I don't understand the sentence"

Perhaps some were thinking they were beginning a new member page, but they did it as what we know as a thread? I dunno, folks.
