But you just did!? Or is there some other forum I don't know about?
Etsy recently changed how we access the forums, and we must now be logged in to our Etsy account in order to view forums other than the announcements and technical help. BUT, people have randomly been having problems accessing them regardless, which is detailed in this thread here and you can ask for help from a board mod:
All I see is one big forum. Never been here, I was checking if there were sub forums like a normal forum. Guess not..
There are sub forums, the drop down menu is at the top. This thread here is posted in the "technical issues" forum, which is accessible to everyone to read.
When logged in, there are two ways to view forum discussions: By seeing a summary list of posts by recent activity pulled from all sub-forums, or using the drop down menu to view a specific sub forum.
Technically, but I meant more than that. I came here to see if there was a 'looking for' or 'wanted' sub forum.
there aren't, advertising (whether seeking or promoting) is not allowed in the forums. There are Etsy teams for that. But I would make sure your shop is compliant with etsy policies before looking to do that.
Same issue as OP
I'm logged in, I'm an Etsy Seller, yet it's telling me my access is denied because:
I need to be logged in, and an Etsy Seller.
And the system seemingly won't give me a way to "log in" to see the forums
To clarify, it seems like I can't access the ETSY-posted topics in the forums for sellers.
I can see some, like this, but not the ones creates by Etsy for Etsy sellers...
Weird. Just did a test in this thread, but I can't even "like" a comment posted in a thread posted outside the "technical issues" category in the forums. I'm signed into my shop, and can read everything in the different forum sections, but it seems like I can't post.
