Anyone else having an issue? I can see Announcements and Technical Issues and nothing else. I signed out, then signed back in with no access on desktop.

Hello I created a Shop Critique Post and was Denied Access

Jump to solution

Hello,

I created the shop critique post and was denied access, when I went to go read responses.  I understand their is a lot of hatefulness against POD Sellers, however, the feedback was still very valuable, is there anyway I can view my own post?

There is no hate for POD, especially from the Admins. Please don't confuse criticism and a reality check about competition for hate.

The Mods chose to close the thread. Mod actions are not up for debate.

It's probably related to the fact that beginning today people need to be signed in to view forum posts. It seems evident that it's messed up somehow

It may have something to do with the forum-sign-in glitch?

@DreamSageApparel 

Are you signed in to your account?  Today, March 26th, is the day you have to start being signed in to view most posts.  If you are signed in and still can't access, Etsy messed things up... AGAIN!

I've noticed today that threads about poor sales have disappeared. There seems to be some forum editing going on.

Looks like everyone only has access to technical issues and announcements.

If you select seller forums above, it will show you what you have.

Does anyone have more than that?

Yes, I am also having an issue.  It says that I need to be a seller and be signed in, if I want to access the forums.  I am both of those things, but still being "denied" access.

Same here.  I was wondering why I didn't get any recent alerts to the post I created.  The forums dropdown menu is messed up as well.

I've attempted to access bookmarked posts from different forum categories. Anything other than Tech Issues & Announcements shows as Access Denied, even though I'm signed in.

I am still not able to see articles and it is 2 weeks after this change. This issue still needs fixing, and very soon I hope.

You're taking it too personal. It's not personal. 

It's an Etsy glitch based on their new regulations of the forums. 

Categories are slowly starting to filter back in for me.

@thatregina and @JeanieBeanHandKnits  I still do not have access and am signed in, so odd.  This was my first time on the community forum too.  So weird, does this happen a lot? I guess I will check back later.

"does this happen a lot?"

Well now that's a 2 fold question and answer. 

This is the first time Etsy has made the forums private, so no, this particular instance where people didn't have access to the other categories (besides technical issues and announcements) has never happened before. 

However, there generally tends to be technical glitches every time they try to implement anything new. So yes, it happens every time they make any sort of major change on the site. At this point I expect no different when I know a change is coming.

I now have all the forums back - must have been a temporary glitch while the new sign in regime took over
