The All About Nameberry Quick Question Thread

It’s so weird, and quite hard to navigate! Hopefully we will both get used to it soon!

Looking into this! Might be a Discourse update- I’ll keep you posted what I find!

Does anyone know if there’s a way to navigate to the ‘Unread’ topics page with this new layout other than typing out the whole URL?

There is a shortcut to unread topics. [name_m]Just[/name_m] type: g u. And then they will show up.


Alternatively, you can add your own custom link the menu.

Firstly, click on the three lines next to your profile picture so the menu opens.

Then you see at the bottom of the menu a small + sign, next to the mobile and keybord icon. Click on the +.

Choose a title, an icon and a name and add the link.

After you’ve saved, it will now show up in your menu!

Wow, thank you so much!!! This is amazing and so helpful!

I am working with our tech guy to figure out what happened with the changes to the menu.

Update on the drop-down menu: I’ve added back shortcuts to Top, [name_u]New[/name_u], Unread, and Latest.

All of the names I’ve been posting today and yesterday aren’t hyperlinking, but most other posts come up with the hyperlinks…. Has this been happening to anyone else?

Yesterday no names showed up as hyperlinks for me, but it mostly works again today. I didn’t do anything to fix it, it just started working again

No hyperlinks are showing up in my own posts either today. I see them in some other posts from other users, but not all.

If [name_f]Katinka[/name_f] stepped down, who makes the amendments on Database entries you’d like to see amended?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f],
I have taken over for @katinka as head moderator! Carrying on how she did things, I will be making these amendments in batches every few months or so.

[name_m]Can[/name_m] you change your username on Nameberry?

From the FAQ:
"Can I change my username?

Unfortunately not. You would need to reregister a new account with a different email address if you wanted to go by a different name on the forums."

@Johannaa is correct. Unfortunately we aren’t able to change someone’s username on this platform.

I’ve wanted to edit my post in the What names have we missed thread to add some more information but there’s no option anymore to do that. Is that a glitch or is there a limit for how long you can edit posts?

I believe there is a time limit
