Access Denied

Receiving Access Denied error for Etsy Community Space

Etsy recently changed access to the forums. You must be a seller to post (been that way for a while now) but you also need to be logged in. There is a glitch with some sellers only having access to the tech and announcements. Etsy knows about it and is supposedly working on the problem. Try contacting them directly and posting in the already huge thread about it.

I can't even post on most of the threads about it. Already tried contacting them last week. I also posted on a thread about it 2 weeks ago. It should not still be such an issue.

@TurkishBling: You may want to read the Etsy moderator's post on https://community.etsy.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Access-denied-to-view-forum-posts/m-p/145342538#M8461...

Clicked on that link and I get "Access Denied". I can't even view the forums about not being able to view the forums.

@Patches3DPrinting: It is not just you - that post seems to have been removed. Try https://community.etsy.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Access-Denied-no-response-from-Etsy/m-p/145362134#M84...

@Patches3DPrinting Make sure you are logged into Etsy and try clicking on the link. I was able to access it.

I am a little confused. Don't you have to access the forums in order to post a thread here? Are you saying you have been denied access to a particular forum from the drop down list under the forums title?

@TurkishBling I just found this solution posted on another thread. https://community.etsy.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Access-Denied-no-response-from-Etsy/m-p/145362134#M84...

@GroundZeroCreations 

Everyone has access to Announcements and Technical.  So everyone is posting in technical.
