Community Icon - Gone?!

[InkOnMyPaws]

I am not a newbie here on Etsy - I check in almost every day. But, the past few days my "Community" icon from my Shop Manager page has disapeared. I can't seem to find it anywhere from that page or by going to my Etsy shop under Sales - towards the bottom of the page.

I am in several teams - maybe 6. I get convo's from them if there is a new BNS or BNR - and I can find them through my messages but where did the community icon GO???

Has anyone else noticed that it's gone from their Shop Manager page?

Any help in finding it would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Community is gone. If you click on the ? you can get to the forums. Top left of the page "teams"

OHHHHH - I had to look under Search and then typed teams to find a convo which I could then click on to bring me to the Team/Forum page.

Thanks Much Nana ----I'll see if I can find them this way. 

Just wish Etsy would leave well enough alone - my x always said - if it's not broken - don't fix it!

OK - YES - that did work - THANKS again - huge relief!!!

Here's a recent thread on the topic:

It took me off guard, too!

It would be so much nicer if etsy would simply give us a heads up about this stuff. It's so stupid and immature of them to assume that everyone will just catch on to every change, like we're robots. It causes a lot of unnecessary wasted time, not to mention angst. Even the most hardened seller who can shift gears easily has to agree that a common courtesy like, "You'll now find the link to the forums under the "help" link in your shop manager," would be of value, IF etsy honestly valued their sellers.

Yeah, you can hide my car keys, and I'll eventually find them, but why be that way?

I noticed it being gone today.  Found it under "Help" in the sidebar.

I remember how, when Etsy updated Forums, it went from a vibrant interactive community to a very dull Q & A for newbie sellers unwilling to do read the Etsy articles about setting up a shop and the related information.

I cant begin to guess why they've made this change, making it even more difficult to find the forums.  Unless they don't want people seeing multiple daily threads about

- being asked to provide email to complete transaction scams

- upset over payment reserves

- upset about shop closings where you find out the person was infringing on copyright and didn't understand why "only they" were being punished when there are so many others.....

Since those are the majority of forum threads, I guess I can understand making them harder to find....

me too the icon gone  ?? and to find it from my dashboard I use  "help" and "seller forum"

On your dashboard under help is where you will find the 'seller forums' clickable link.
