I have recently returned to VATUSA after a long absence ... recent changes in my career have suddenly afforded me some free time again, which is a happy thing for my family and my hobbies.

I have been with VATSIM a while ... since it was SATCO, in fact ... and I still hold a C1 rating, but I am having trouble getting reassigned to an ARTCC.  I've been on ZTL's site and can't find an application.  I've been on VATUSA's site, where they tell me there's a thing called an ARTCC Transfer Form under the My VATUSA menu.  It's not there, at least for me.

I even went to the link that says "Become a controller."  That made things worse.  Even though my header on the site still shows I'm a C1, it's asking me to take the Basic ATC exam all over again.  That's no problem -- but I'm afraid that if I do, it'll reset me to a student rank or something, and I don't want to do that.

Any hints here?  Am I missing something crucial, and will I want to slap my forehead when I find out how obvious it was?

I could use some help here.  I know my way around an airplane, having been a R/W commercial pilot for years, but the new VATUSA is making me feel like I left the rotating beacon on in pea soup fog...
