Yes it appears to be the same.
Concerning the dice server problem it is not even proven that it is a TripleA-issue. Might be related to mail providers, too.
Some try out the current pre-release version. Others simply live with the restrictions. Almost no one cares to ask or address the issues where it would be appropriate.
Thanks to @redrum there is a fix for the posting issue implemented in the pre-release.
Unfortunately no one else has time or interest enough to look deeper into these issues as it seems. PBF simply has no priority, sadly.
