Answers.Text: Thanks Laryn!  Not sure what conclusion to draw from this.  Are you saying that Scheduled Reminders uses the Scheduled Job, and I could still enabled the Scheduled Job and it will still work?

  I think the reminders portion of the memberships has migrated to "Scheduled Reminders" but I believe the status update portion remains in the "Scheduled Jobs" area.
