Another thing I've just noticed is that there's not "forgot 
password" feature when login to this website. I think I once 
registered to this website, but I forgot my password, and now 
there's no way of recovering it.

Another issue that may exist is that there's no notification and 
also subscription system that would tell you about news regarding 
a post (but not just necessarily a post) where you're involved 
because you had subscribed to it...
