Patreon Helpdesk

Hey Patrons! The general consensus on the work server is that we all agree an IJ-based help area for Patreon-specific codes and layouts would be beneficial to all of us. As I've mentioned a few times in the past, Patreon's notifications are elusive at best, and I miss a lot of comments and emails due to notification emails going to the wrong folders (and sometimes not being sent at all.)

If you are a current or a past patron, and you need help with a Patreon code/layout you're using, please leave me a screened comment and I'll check it out for you as soon as I can! Please follow the below format:

SUBJECT: Code/Layout Name - DW or IJ - Month Year
MESSAGE: The issue you're having and a link to your copy of the code/layout (not the Patreon link.)

If you think a screenshot or the question itself will suffice that's fine! If I need more, I'll let you know. If you're not sure, err on the side of caution and provide a link. Small things like "How do I make the background tile instead?" or "Can I change the background on the entries to a gradient?" or "Where should the sidebar image go?" are good examples of questions that don't need links.

Stipulations:
Re-read your install instructions before asking! If I let you know I need to see the actual coding to help you, you must provide it or I won't look into the issue. It takes me way more time to take shots in the dark than to just look at the code to resolve the issue.
  • Layouts: Direct link to the account so that I can see the CSS in conjunction with the HTML
  • Codes: Link to the code in any form (entry, Pastebin, etc.) or emailed as a .txt file to my gmail at tessisabiiitch.

You can see an example comment here. All comments WILL be re-screened for your privacy after I've answered you. Don't be shy if it's been longer than a week since you've commented; it's totally fine to give me a nudge.
