Hi all,
We encountered a problem today that rendered the main site inaccessiable for roughly 10 minutes. It started around 2:43pm EST.
It stemmed from an internal long-running query that eventually cut the master database off from the web servers.
We’ve stopped the query and are taking actions to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. if you encounter any further issues that seem related, please let us know here.

Those DNS address did not work for me, I am still unable to access etsy and yes it bothers me greatly. I get notifications of conversations through email and that is the only way I know if something is happening in my shop! Blah! It has now been 4-5 days without etsy! I read somewhere it would only be 5 dys at most… we shall see tomorrow! Yes, it does make me want to quit using etsy as I have had several issues with etsy as far as site issues and people cpoying my product with no resolve.
