Glitches I've Noticed

Well, while I'm reporting stuff I might as well report this. Both of these are major glitches/issues that I've reported on in the past but haven't seen any action on yet so might as well.

1. The private message inbox blocklist is handled pretty poorly. For one, it doesn't carry over your regular account blocklist, so people you've blocked can still spam your private messages. In addition, you also cannot block people normally from PMs - you have to wait for them to message you or you have to message them. This seems like a massive oversight to me, and I honestly don't understand the logic behind keeping them separate.

2. There's a weird glitch where, if you have a story set so that only you can add roles, and you add only one casting suggestion to anything after the first page of roles, those roles get "softlocked", for lack of a better word, to others. It'll set them as my choice, and others can't access or cast/vote on them without using either the role search or broader site search bar. This gets pretty annoying because it's a pain to constantly have to come up with extra suggestions or put placeholders on everything, so hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

Another glitch i wanted to point out is whenever i had certain role on my story being set to "Specific Users" only, other users cannot access the role at all, as they only encounter a "We're sorry, but something went wrong" page (and only i can access it and had nothing wrong). Happened to my friend once when he tried to help me cast one of my stories.

Huh, never heard of that one before, but good to know.

Adding another glitch/issue to the counter because it's gotten brought up in the past - this site is terrible at recognizing characters from non-Latin languages like Greek, Russian, Japanese, etc.

If you write a role name entirely in them, it'll completely refresh and won't let you access the role (and I believe the same is true of actor profiles in non-Latin languages as well), the search function can't recognize them at all, which gets really annoying for talent profiles linked to movie database pages, because sometimes those will randomly change to the non-Latin spelling due to people messing with the mdb profile it's linked to and thus prevent people from finding them in search without workarounds, and I don't even know what happens if you write a story name entirely in them. This, again, feels like a massive oversight - practically every website can recognize non-Latin languages without fuss, so it feels like we're kinda living in the Stone Age here.

That sounds like something to contact the mods/admins about to see if they can see if they can fix this long standing issue and all the others that has been around since the site launched in 2017 (yes, this site is about to turn eight in late May I believe.) on here

Speaking of blocks, i forgot to mention about this one glitch that's been bothering me. Whenever i change my Profile Pic, the whole list of users that i've blocked on my account are restarted to zero (all of them were automatically got unblocked after i change my profile pic once) and i have to block them again manually, which is quite a pain. This is why i NEVER changed my profile pic ever since.

I know the feeling too and that's why I have kept my swimming polar bear since and I have to say that oversight is as old as the site.

Also a glitch I've noticed with one of my fancasts: whenever I try to change the name of a specific role (https://www.mycast.io/stories/pokemon-mystery-dungeon-expedition-team/roles/remoraid-english-dub/24779465), it never sticks. The image and description can be changed, but the name just reverts back to the old one as soon as I hit save changes.

Castings are stuck are on zero when I'm already casting a character. And they're slow in loading the exact number!
