Can't post on the forum due "You need a level 10 character to post on the forums"

Can’t post on the forum due to “You need a level 10 character to post on the forums. If you need help with an account or technical issue, contact Blizzard Support.”. Well I have 12 level 120’s and 2 months worth of game time.

The “You need…” message is at the top of the screen and contains a link to the support page.

  1. This happens when I click on the “Forums” link on the WoW Homepage https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/

  2. I get redirected to the forum with the following link https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/. From the link it looks like it is the US forum and not the EU forum.

  3. The “You need…” message is at the top of the screen and contains a link to the support page https://eu.battle.net/support/en/games/wow which seems to be EU support.

  4. If I then click on one of the “Recent Forum Posts” I am then redirected to the EU forum page https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/ and the forum page then recognizes my characters.

It seems like the WoW homepage automatically redirects me to the US forums and not the EU forums.

It looks like you are trying to post in the US forums. 9 times out of 10 it’s because you have an incorrect setting somewhere, like at the bottom of this page. Or under your battletag at the top of the page.

My Battle Tag settings are fine. When I click the “Support” link on the WoW home page I am redirected to EU Support. Only the forum links redirects me to the US forum instead of the EU forums. This started happening last night along with the game the login issues that some people are experiencing. It use to work fine up until Saturday.

I don’t think that’s the case - I think it’s a bad link. I was testing it out for someone with the same problem (Oldmanbarry’s thread down the forum a bit) and presumed it was a wrong setting too but the same thing happened to me and I’m pretty sure all my settings are right.
To be honest, I don’t know how to report forum bugs any more - there used to be a link at the bottom of the old forums, but not here.

Is there like a thread that you cna just post one spam post so it accounts for your posts and reads that you have a character level 10 ?

Are you sure you are trying to post on the EU forums, not the US forums. Look at the first two letters of the URL.

And you shouldn’t necro old threads, Blizzard Blues don’t come back to them.
