Beta rollout & Patreon billing change
Added 2022-10-03 21:06:25 +0000 UTCTo start: this billing change won't affect current patrons. You will still be charged on the 1st of every month. Only new patrons will now be charged on the day they joined, which also means you wouldn't pay double if you pledged on the last day of the month. Patreon finally fixed this issue! Hooray!
On more on-topic news: The beta has had some issues, together with the new database also having some issues getting going, but most of these seem to have been solved and the beta is slowly getting ready to be released to a wider audience. The plan is to do this somewhere this week.
This rollout will also come with a change in categories: the nudity category will disappear. Instead of categorising these in their own weird corner (which seems to confuse a lot of people who upload), it is now a specific option on the new website that will always have to be seen and selected. People with filters on will still have these videos filtered (if the uploader properly disclosed nudity in the video).
When you find any more bugs on the beta website, do definitely still let me know here! I'll get on it straight away... when I have time.
Cheers,
Rick

The new system loves holding messages as it now says I have 4 unread messages that don’t exist

Might have been that a change in account settings or pledge triggers some kind of reset in the Patreon API? I'd have to check at that more after beta release

2022-10-05 21:42:49 +0000 UTCAccording to my general settings, the account is connected to Patreon. Still the Patreon ad appears and I have no badge with my user name

2022-10-05 21:40:07 +0000 UTCHm that is strange indeed. I'll have a look at that tomorrow, hopefully the system will recheck and give you your patron status back, and if not I should be able to fix the system!

2022-10-05 21:33:21 +0000 UTCYep, we do also have tube.inflatevids@gmail.com! What is your account on the website, then I can have a look at that and see what might be going wrong.

2022-10-05 18:50:26 +0000 UTCMy Patreon shows as connected, but there still are ads and no badge. Also, Freshdesk is broken, login not possible and no other way to talk to you than here?
