Where has the message button on world map gone?
I was trying to help someone find a Prusa owner in their neighborhood and sent him to world.prusa3d.com. I'm pretty sure that on the user details that pop up when you found someone nearby, there used to be a button to contact that person directly. This button appears to have disappeared, maybe due to the recent website changes. I had to suggest to copy the name, go to printables.com, search for that user and then use the message button on the user profile. Convoluted, non-intuitive, and defeats the purpose of the world map.
If someone from the web dev team sees this, it would be great to have that easy way of finding someone back.

I can confirm that the messaging facility has disappeared. I had other odd behaviour too.
In my usual browser (Safari), the map loaded but showed just a handful of users in equatorial Africa, but with the info box saying there are 142,726 users on Prusa World. To fix it, I had to clear cookies, empty caches, restart the browser, reload the page and finally toggle one of the filter switches ('Print on demand' in this case). All users then magically appeared! A local browser issue for sure, but probably one triggered by the website changes.
Cheers,
Tim

I saw similar behavior. I drilled down to a few locations but in most cases it the pin with the number would never switch to the individual users, in other -- apparently random -- cases it did.
