What happened to Elance?

Hi, I had some artwork done years ago and had a great experience with Elance. 

I decided to try again to make some political satire and I'm horrible with photshop etc. 

I tried logging in with my old account  and cannot log in. Not sure what email, but I have my username and password handy. I wanted to see if my previous useage was still documented. I assume that is all lost at this time so I am surfing around to see if I want to use this site and have mixed feelings. 

Anyway, I cannot seem to find a black and white straight forward description or outline of what upwork can offer me and how to move forward with my newest project. Is there a streamlined outline somewhere that may be of use to me? 

Thanks

Hi Dave,

 

I would like to let you know that Elance users had the chance to move their accounts to Upwork back in 2016. You will not be able to access your Elance account anymore as Elance no longer exists in a working capacity. In case you're having trouble logging in to your Upwork account, you can follow the steps in this helpful article to reset your password. 

Additionally, I highly recommend visiting Upwork Academy and exploring the Learning Paths to maximize your freelancing journey and receive valuable guidance.

Thanks for the reply. 2016, I guess it has been quite awhile.  

I'll snoop around a bit and see how things work. I did not see  payment methods at this time. Is paypal accepted?
