car.thik, cart.hik, car!thik, car()thik, car^thik all seem to work perfectly fine as userids for the carthik @ gmail .com account. I did not get a mailer daemon when sending the mails, and I got a “message sent” confirmation for the last three.

What’s amazing (stupid, even) is that car()thik@gmail.com shows up as car@gmail.com in the headers, and even when I try to reply to the mail later, the To: field is pre-filled with car@gmail.com

I could post a bug report, but I couldn’t find the “Report a bug” link (that I swear I saw yesterday) when I wanted to report a bug with downloading attachments earlier in the day, and had to click through the “Help” and submit a report (a “question” according to gmail), only to get no confirmation. In fact the form just stayed the way it way, after I clicked “Submit Question”.

Now how exactly does one report a bug in the bug reporter?

Amazingly incompetent for a Beta version. Aren’t beta’s supposed to be instruments for collecting bugs and ironing out problems, small and large, and aren’t beta testers/users supposed to have some way to file bug reports? I am not sure I am not missing something very obvious in the interface, but anyways I think a Beta web-app should have a link to some place where bug reports can be filed. WordPress versions have a link at the bottom of all admin pages to the Support Forums which is kind of close.

WordPress could really use a “Create New Category” field in the post/edit page. I decided that I need a new category starting with this post, and though I could open the “categories” page in a new tab, I had to refresh post.php to get the new one to show up in the categories menu.
