I believe this is the big problem with this kind of platforms and open source projects. Until they are "taken serious" by people, there will not be that many developers putting their time on it. reflecting in the lack of support for this kind of questions/tickets.
I know and see that the guys behind steemit are working hard, maybe we would like to have more stuff not just a redesign of the site and image.
Supporting, sharing, making steem heard and using it has a serious plataform, i pretty sure that it s a question when not if, so have steemit with a more serious approach that it deserves.
we ll keep waiting ;)
