Joshua, I wasn't aware of this until now but, it doesn't in the least bit surprise me. Patches and links and downright meddling with the program are happening so frequently, every time I log on I find something different! I used to think it was just random experimenting, but it's not, everyone of these minor changes are designed to take away a little more host control over the way they use the platform.
As an example, there used to be condensed host calendar down on the left side of the message stream. All hosts found that calendar very helpful, you didn't have to keep swapping from messages to the calendar page during a conversation. That's now gone, so the process of responding to a booking has become considerably harder for no net gain to either the host or Airbnb. The programmers of this company have one steadfast and resolute ideology, and that is to keep reinventing the wheel, no matter how well the existing wheel works!
I have (where possible) been, for the past year, using the guests personal phone (the number given in the message stream) to send my welcome and check-in instructions, as I find that is the only reliable way to get a response from the guest. Every time you check 'Guests Resources' something has changed and I just don't regard the internal communication system as being reliable any more. I just use bits of the platform that I know keep working, and those are the bits that make life and money a bit easier for Airbnb, not the host!
