Why can't I access the "Wanted" forum?

    Hi. I am subscribed and when I check the Swapmeet forums I see some times (not all the time) a "Wanted" group, but when I click on it it tells me I don't have permission and I am not subscribed. Does that group exists, and if yes, why I don't have access ?

    Thanks,

    HI Raffaele - the "Wanted" forum is here: https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?forums/wanted/

    I just tested your account and you have access so I'm not sure what happened before.

    Just remember: the "Wanted" forum may only be for small cheap items - under $50 in value nor anything that can be purchased new from DXE, HRO, etc. No transceivers or anything big. There are many scammers out there who prey on wanted ads so QRZ pretty much has shut that section down. If you post an for an item that doesn't qualify, it will be removed by one of the Swapmeet Moderators.

    Thanks for using QRZ

    Hi and thank you for answering. I can see the Wanted items following your links, but right now I don't see the "Wanted" group in the list. Next time it shows up I'll check if the by any chance the link is wrong or something.

    Thanks!

    So, when I am logged in and see the menu entry "Ham Radio Gear Wanted" (that seems to show up only when I am in my logbook, the associated link is https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?forums/ham-radio-gear-wanted.122/, that doesn't seem to exist. Again, not a big deal since you gave me the right link. I just found it strange.

    Thanks!

    So, if you go to the Forums Home Page (https://forums.qrz.com/index.php), scroll down to the Swapmeet Section, you don't see the Wanted forum (circled in image below)? It would seem to be the quickest way to access this.

    I do see what you mean about it being visible from the Logbook. You're talking aboiut the main menu at the top of the QRZ page, and Ham Gear Wanted does populate there while in the Logbook view, with the link you provided which doesn't work. However, that is far from the only way to access the Wanted forum and Dave provided a direct link.
