Unable to Acess Other Topics for Discussion

I just suddenly found this out after attempting to start a topic related to my shop, so I have no idea if this is a technical issue or that I did something before that made me lose privileges, because I honestly have no idea what I may have done for this to happen.

Update: I just found out about the apparent announcement about being signed in to view most of the forums; I tried logging out and back into my account, but still nothing has changed- any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

There are a lot of other sellers having this problem, it seems. I think you need to reach out to Etsy Support and see if there is something they need to do to help you. I wish I knew why this was happening, but it seems it's something to do with the changes to accessing the forums. (Unrelated, but your little dudes are really clever!)

Ah good, so then I'm not the only one with this problem, which means I haven't violated any rules in this community. I'll definitely contact the Support team when I can, thanks for your help!
