Hello all. You may have noticed Patreon has gotten facelift--at least it has for me on the back end. I have noticed that while I can respond to your DMs, it freezes when I try to INITIATE a conversation with a patron. On MY end, when I answer your DM, the system marks it as "read" and it gets buried under new DMs. If I try to start a new DM to YOU, nothing happens.  So if you DMed me and I said, "Give me a couple of weeks and I'll get back to you."--feel free to DM me again. Apparently it does not work the other way. 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ugggh, I hate needless UI changes. Sometimes engineers just have to futz with things; "Guys, it's a wheel; it's round, it rolls, it's perfect. So no, adding corners will NOT make it cooler."

Jay's Made Up Dictionary - Website facelift - Defined as the machinations of the "Good Idea Fairy" working in tandem with a non-essential employee who falls on the lower end of the organizations Pareto Principle chart with the goal of justifying their otherwise superfluous job. Typically leads to additional rework to remove bugs they created and numerous complaints from end users. Hence, a cyclical process of creating a problem and slowly fixing the problem. Rinse and repeat. I mean, weren't we all happier before all the additional versions of Windows? Did we really need to update to new versions over and over and over again?
