I notice that the forum is quite slow. When I write a new post or a reply I usually preview the message before submitting. But here I have to wait quite long for the preview and my browser (Chromium) often reports Error 502: "The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request". Reloading the page does not help, and if I go back in the browser I lose my editing.

Is this a known issue?

I tried to send a PM to a level 1 editor (dapetshop) but got the error message "The requested users to be added do not exist."

crazycomputingdotnet suggested that either they recently joined and the scripts that run that creates users has not created the account for them in the forum database yet —or that this script may be broken for the new forum version.

Any thoughts?

I changed my username in the client but was unable to change it online, so someone who sees me on the client (say, if I were to do a chat) won't be able to find me in the forum. I actually wanted to change to the client alias on the editor and in the forum, but that function was disabled shortly after I joined.

Again, this disconnect is why we need an alternate means of contacting each other, either embedded in the editor or in the client.

At the very least, the name that appears in WME needs to have a corresponding account in the forum, or there's no communication AT ALL.

Wow, and I thought the usa_* and world_* usernames were bad.
