Because this has been going on for MONTHS, as is made clear by the numerous posts about it!
Which ALSO makes it clear that a VERY poor decision of implementing a VERY bad new system has been made (since it was working perfectly fine for everyone before that point!), which is now ruining itch basic functionality and impairing users from communicating on your network and using it properly.
So why not simply assume the fact as a professional should, and REVERT that bad decision to how it was before (working perfectly fine for everyone) ?
Or maybe we should all just give up on using itch altogether ? Hmm ?
This post is both an IDEA, a FEEDBACK, and a BUG (the latter being what I regard this situation as), but since I couln't find a way to multi-tag it, I just went with "bug".
