New UpWork Wording Announced

Jean S · Jul 28, 2015 09:37:05 AM

I just saw this on my Feed Page

We've updated the wording on many Upwork pages. For example, My Job Applications is now My Proposals.

When I clicked on the Learn More ... Access Denied.

I LOL'd at the last line.

If you don't laugh, you'll cry, Jean.

Same here. They're still working on it. I like the new wording though.

why fix it if it ain't broke?

aren't there more important things to fix here?

SIGH.

Just an other bug.

there is a new message in the page but if I click it I got a error page.

Hi All,

The redirection has been fixed and you should be able to access the page from the notification in your Job Feed now.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Is there anything good for me in these new changes ?

Or how is this going to effect on my work ?

Any benefit for me?

It's much ado over a trifle, but although they say "My Job Applications is now My Proposals.", everywhere I look it says "Job Applications", and frankly "My Proposals" sounds like someone wanting to get married. "Contract Proposals" would sound more "professional", but that's just my opinion.

It looks like an Elance, freelance idea
