The All About Nameberry Quick Question Thread

My issue right now is the number of ads. For me it wasn’t like that earlier today. Right now, there are:
An ad below the topic
One above your post
One above nvrsobr’s post
One over your previous post, so there are more than there used to be. One ad in every 5 replies.

They take a lot of time to load so they make the whole site slower

Follow question! If there is no pronunciation on a name page, does that mean that pronoucation is obvious or something?

Likely, but not necessarily. It just depends on whether whoever entered the name in the database added a pronunciation. Names have been added (and updated) at different times by different people over the years, including many being brought over direct from [name_f]Pam[/name_f] and [name_f]Linda[/name_f]’s name books when the site was first set up, which is why you might sometimes come across inconsistencies in how they’re entered.

Oof. Anyways, that was a lot of help, thanks!

Just now I tried to quote and only the text appeared when I posted. Clicking on the “edited” icon that showed up, it told me the system automatically deleted the quote. Does anyone know why that happens? Are particular things not quotable, or…?

When you quote the whole of the previous post, it automatically gets deleted

Oh right, got it. :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks

I keep getting this when I type responses:

But, of course, it’s not being edited in another window. Am I the only one? [name_u]Or[/name_u] is this a common new issue?

I often see this since switching to Discourse

Interesting! I hadn’t seen it before today.

I think this sometimes happens at busy times. Are you seeing this every time or just sometimes?

Not every time, just a few times so far.

OK. I have had this a few times myself in the past, not for a while, though. [name_m]Can[/name_m] you let me know if it persists? We may need to add more server space.

Absolutely. I haven’t seen it yet this morning, so hopefully it isn’t going to be a constant thing.

I wasn’t sure where to post this, so hopefully here is okay! I’m pretty sure the name links aren’t working currently. Usually after posting a comment, the names will automatically link after a few seconds/minutes. I’ve noticed that comments that were posted from around an hour ago to now do not have name links. I wasnt sure if you knew about it, sorry if you already did!!
