It's not just pattern.
It's happening with messages through etsy, they aren't showing a link/image to a listing.
Etsy is messing with the message system at the moment and there are a bunch of glitches.
I've had this issue for Quite some time on my other shop's Pattern site.
Not professional, but like Many other things of late, I just keep working around it.......
@CappuccinoLace Thank you SO much for your reply! I wish the engineers would fix it asap - it makes us look incompetent and who wants that???
@ReplacementHardware thank you - it’s reassuring to know I’m not alone!
