Patreon Changes, Download File Links, Etc.
🕑 Added 2015-06-02 16:25:54 +0000 UTC Patreon's changed a few things and it's worth noting to my regular patrons, here: First off, I'm no longer receiving email notifications for comments left on submissions, here, for some reason. I don't know if it's a general change by Patreon, or if it's because of the number of patrons I have now. This isn't a huge deal, it just means it may take me longer to peruse comments and reply to questions specifically asked, there. I'm still receiving email notices for private communications, as well as people using the posting board for questions. Secondly, there's no longer the need to use download links in addition to the display image, when I upload an image. Turns out, you can just save the image to your HD from the displayed image on the entry, and it saves at full size. If you right-click the shrunken image and click "display image in new tab", you can see the image display at full size by itself. I'll probably put this in each entry for a while until people get the hang of it. Also, Patreon seems to be trying to save bandwidth by reducing the quality of the thumbnails that appear in the posts feed. I haven't noticed any reduced quality in the main submission file (like on Fur Affinity). I'm going to try a few posts where, instead of uploading to Patreon, I just use an image link from my website, and see if that makes a difference. Thank you all for the best month to date!Comments
Oh nice

Yep. Their scale down algorithm is really crappy. So aliased. Any mainstream CMS now do this job much better. Both my wordpress and drupal sites make photoshop-quality sized down thumbs. C'mon Patreon, make your homework and stop using mspaint for resizing...

Holy shit yeah. Patreon fucking raped the quality of the thumbnails. So few pixels q_q

Honestly I just put whatever he has as the title of the post as the title of the file when I download it. It'll just be a bit of a chore with the "Warmup" posts he's done, but only really because of the numbering!

The picture size works but the file name is lost that way. Can you please leave the file name in the picture title so we can cut&paste it?

I actually just became a patron last week, and I have to say, it's awesome to be able to see all of your little sketches and stuff in-between your main comics.
