Gloria,

You can fine Help and Support under the question mark icon on your account page.

Gloria, 

Try using the question mark to get in touch with someone.  Upwork seems to have eliminated support for its clients.  A major shift in service policy that will surely negatively affect this site.

Searching form last 30 minutes but unable to find. Where is live chat.

Hi Gloria, 

I see you managed to locate chat support and contact our team.

Tariq,

Please go to the Help Center > click the Get Help link on the right side > select the appropriate tabs from the drop down menus and you'll see the option to contact chat support.

[Michael H]

There is no "get help" link on the right side.  There are four options after you click the question mark.  

HELP AND SUPPORT

COMMUNITY AND FORUMNS

DISPUTES

NEW ON UPWORK.

I have searched through all of these links and cannot locate any live support links, phone numbers or email support addresses.

As far as I can tell there is no help anymore on this site.  I have been looking for a week.

Michael: what you are seeing is a technical issue, and not an intentional change in policy.

Upwork administrators and Forum moderators are not aware of the extent of this problem, or the frequency with which clients and top-earning freelancers are finding customer support unavailable.

Thanks Preston-  

So, any advice on how to deal with the technical issue?  Does anyone know how long the technical issue will last?  Is there a link you can paste to live support?

thanks,

Mike

For now, try using different browsers...

Opera, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Explorer.

Try using different operating systems...Windows, Mac OS X, Linux.

Try using different types of devices... Desktop, mobile, etc.

The display of support options is dependent on the browser a user uses, and the device... It is not purely server-side generated. There is client-side JavaScript used in the display, and this may not be working properly for you, while working right for others.

Be sure to be logged in to Upwork as fully as possible. Choose your client/company profile within your account.

Availability differs according to the time zone, time of day, region, country, day of the week, and current available resources.

It is not Upwork's intent that you be unable to reach Customer Support. But they are using some technological implements which they have not fully tested and they are not fully aware of the ramifications for all users.
