You used to be able to easily look up a person's MV profile and find their MV characters. That ability now appears to be totally gone for at least some users.

With the forum change when you click on someone's nickname, i.e. username, from within the forums, you go to their User Profile where there is a link to supposedly their Metaverse Profile. However that link is broken and only takes you to your own MV profile not the person's in question.

There is a very painful way to get around that problem by first looking up the person's username in the Forum Stats section of the Metaverse. Once you find the person's username in either the authors or commentors list then clicking on it gets you to the person's Metaverse Profile.

However the problem is that there appear to be users that have replied to posts in the forums but are not listed in the commentors or authors lists. Specifically the username I'm trying to find the metaverse characters for is sunburn4. I know he's made at least one reply to a thread (reply #268 of the https://forums.galciv2.com/157227/page/11 thread) but searching the commentors forum stats does not find any match for sunburn4 or any subset of his name.

This makes it impossible to find his MV profile.

I know this site is now low on the web teams priority list but there are still a number of unfinished items like this that have gone on for quite some time. I think we have all been very patient. When will these issues be addressed (if ever). Also how in hell can I find sunburn4's MV profile?

Also loss of the search function here is definitely not compensated by the suggestion of using google with a site search. Simply trying to find posts or replies by a specific commentor or author using google truly sucks. Some minimal on site search function if only for author/commentator should at least be provided.
