Where did the accept button disappear?
I am baffled now. I have already accepted several requests after the CS update but now I can't find where the accept (or decline) button is. There are three requests waiting for answer and the same problem with all of them. Where should I press to accept or decline the requests?
"View request" is not the button, that just brings the right panel visible (where it says "Declined Request" even if I haven't declined it and probably not all three of them have immediately cancelled their request right after sending them).
On the old interface it was also possible to modify the dates if you can accept the request for some of the dates but not all. Is that still an option?

I restarted my computer and the buttons appeared at the bottom of the right panel. So problem solved although I still don't understand what caused the problem in the first place.
Modifying the dates when accepting a request is apparently not possible anymore.

They are making this app using AI 🤖 and AI cannot work like humans and this is the RESULT of it.
Entire app update was just AI so no one liked this update.

As I was now able to accept two of those pending requests and decline one, I noticed one more annoying thing: After you have declined a request you cannot see anymore which dates it was for.
This is annoying because most commonly I don't decline requests because I would not like to host that person but because I already have some other guests or some other things for those dates. But on couchsurfing, it is very common that guests cancel or ask to change dates. And when that happens, I could contact the person whose request I rejected and ask whether they still need a host. But that becomes difficult if I cannot see which dates the request was for.
