so back to the question, have you modified your .htaccess file recently? I’ve found that 500 internal server errors with WordPress almost always go back to that.

You can disable the script that does the word count by adding to your functions.php file in your theme:

function my_init_method() {
    wp_deregister_script( 'word-count' );
}    

add_action('init', 'my_init_method');

That doesn’t sound normal, so just to confirm, do you have the latest version of WordPress installed (3.1.3 at time of writing)?

Please see http://wordpress.org/news/2011/06/passwords-reset/

Oddly enough, I remember that theme, and those tabs are a hard coded unordered list in header.php

You would need to edit that file to add tabs.

A contributor would be able to write draft posts and edit their profile.

As to the posting of comments, do you require users to be logged in to comment?

For future reference, for v.4.1.1 I added that after line 368 $global_meta['blogid'] = $org_blog_id = $wpdb->blogid; // org_blog_id
