Title: The Elance is going to be shut down soon and merged into oDesk aka Upwork. And Upwork is an absolute disaster.<p>The messaging system doesn&#x27;t work. The stats don&#x27;t work. The search barely works. The ranking system is a joke. The invoices they send to clients are illegal in Europe.[https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.upwork.com&#x2F;t5&#x2F;Clients&#x2F;Name-on-a-received-invoice&#x2F;m-p&#x2F;92225#U92225]<p>And for the last few days, the job application system -- arguably, the most important thing on the whole website -- stopped working.<p>If you want to appreciate the full extend of the disaster, just visit their forum and see what their freelancers and clients have to say about it:
https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.upwork.com<p>They are already loosing people and the only reason anyone&#x27;s still using them is the lack of a better alternative.<p>This is the perfect chance for a new platform.
