Got Rid of "View All" Ability in Lists?

Basically what the title says. There used to be an option on name lists to view all of the names on one page instead of a few names on each page. [name_m]Just[/name_m] tonight, that seems to be gone. Hoping this is a temporary glitch? :frowning:

Yeah I desperately need it back


and to whoever is in charge of the website: the “mobile-first” layout trend is actually terrible because for people who are on a computer have to scroll through so much text that is too wide. columns that adjust with different viewports are always better. especially since the majority of people coming here also access the forums and most of us do so on a computer. if you are not going to anchor content, scrolling can become tedious and lead people to click away out of annoyance. perhaps consider an app instead of “mobilizing” the website that isn’t popular on mobile anyway (afaik). it makes the browser experience much less user friendly on both mobile and desktop.

in conclusion, responsive design > mobile first layout

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone,
[name_f][/name_f]I just got an answer to this. I’ve been told that as of now the view all feature has been removed from the site. I’m very sorry for this inconvenience- I know I use this feature of lists on the daily! :slightly_frowning_face:

I figured out a fix for now! If you add “/all” to the end of the url, it will show you all of the names in one list like it used to.

I don’t understand why they would remove this feature :frowning:[name_f][/name_f] I have no interest in reading lists the way they’re formatted now.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] they have any plans to bring this feature back or is it permanently gone?

[name_f][/name_f]

I just really hope they don’t remove the “/all” trick :sweat_smile:

[name_f][/name_f]

Without this feature, it makes reading lists a lot more difficult and[name_f][/name_f] makes a lot of the games on here unplayable/less fun, so that’s a bummer! Hoping this is temporary!!!

Thank you for sharing this!

This is just the most annoying thing ever. Without this “little trick” I wouldn’t even use the lists at all anymore, because it drives me mad.

But it does not work on lists with names spanning more than 50 pages. Other than that, thank you so much!

For me it is not working on any lists anymore, which makes it hard to use the lists.

What do you mean it isn’t working anymore?

If your talking about lists, I used the /all[name_f][/name_f] ending on yesterday. Although the lists wouldn’t show up in the traditional way we’re all used to, the entirety of the list showed up on one page for me.

I guess that’s what I mean. Previously when I had used /all before, they’d still populate as if I had hit the “show all” button (just the names, no origins or meanings). But now when I use the /all ending, they do all populate on one page, but have all the origins and meanings with them.

like this:

I was just curious if this was a glitch, or if this is how the names just present now?

That’s how I see it too.

I am devastated by this change and by its persistence. Nameberry lists are currently unusable for me and I will be using other sites in the meantime. I hope this gets fixed/changed soon because Nameberry lists are my favorite and I’m sad to have to abandon them.

appending /view-all should work.
