The New Nameberry

I and someone else (somebody mention it) have glitch with baby name list. When I click on popular names, names don’t show right? I don’t know how to describe it. First goes numbers, then down under the numbers goes names. They show like this:
1.
2.
[name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name]

I have the same list-saving glitch as sawdust_and_diamonds

Yes the list editing bug is really annoying. [name]Just[/name] when I felt like making a new list I can’t save anything >.<

I’m still getting used to the new design. I think I preferred the old, just because for some reason I don’t like some of the muted colours (the pinks and greens) but that’s just a matter of taste and I’ll get used to it eventually.

There are a few layout problems ? This page https://nameberry.com/user/mystuff has a very unfinished looking layout on my browser. Everything stuck to the left side and a giant font for every link.

Anyway, I’m sure once the little bugs and glitches are fixed this will definitely be a change for the better :slight_smile:

Not getting that I’ve started every thread now, but if I click ‘reply’ on a post, it comes up with the quote even though I didn’t click on ‘reply with quote’. Anyone else getting this?

Yes! I’ll put this on the list of fixes.

[name]Hi[/name] everyone, I just wanted to check in. We have a long list of bugs for [name]Hugh[/name] to work through along with creating the new features we’re introducing over the next week or two. So many of these issues are going to be resolved.

I’ll keep checking back in to see what’s fixed and what isn’t and what new problems pop up. We did have a very slow-load period today.

Meanwhile, I don’t really understand what people are saying about all the white in the forums as I see pale green and a thin striped line between each comment. Are you all seeing that too or is that missing for some people or on some devices? Or is it just that it’s MOSTLY white?

For me, the only color is the stripe of color between the comments. To me, the background is pure white and everything else is mostly white too so there’s a lot of white space just filling the whole screen.

Having most of the same issues everyone else is having.

All the white is definitely a bit overwhelming on the forums, I agree. [name]Even[/name] on the main site, it’s so much text hanging out in white space. I feel like it needs some borders. Didn’t there used to be a border around the daily popular names? A circle around it? And I feel like the ticker at the top would look better if it was a different color on the edges, and where the names go is white. Does that make sense? Right now, it’s just text on white, pictures on white, links on white, etc. WHITE WHITE WHITE. Granted, that’s just a stylistic choice, but a lot of white is hard on the eyes. At least, my eyes.

On the main site, everything is so… big. It’s fine on my desktop and my phone (haven’t check it on my tablet yet) but on my netbook, it’s enormous and doesn’t seem to scale down. Everything just sort of smooshes together, and I end up having to scroll down, down, down to see the whole page. I use the latest version of Firefox on both computers, so I don’t think it’s a browser issue.

Also, on my own lists, I used to be able to view the names in alphabetical order, as well as highest to lowest rating. Are those no longer options or am I not seeing it?

The new site looks best on my desktop, by far. I’m glad I jumped on here after getting on my netbook because it looked horrible on my netbook and I got sad. Also, the name thing is fixed, but when I jumped on the other day and saw my name on topics I hadn’t started I freaked out and thought someone had stolen my account and was spamming. Haha!

PS: Loving the orange when I select text. I love orange!

I agree about the too much white thing, and I am also having most of the same issues everyone else is having still.

On a different note, when you pull up an individual name’s page, is the tab on the top supposed to just say ‘Pop Culture References’ without the name itself?

Here’s a picture of what I mean…

Things are taking a bit longer to load than normal (just across the board on forums, name searches, etc.)

I also agree with the feeling that there is an excess of plain white space. I see the two green bars and the thin multicolored line in between posts, but there is just a lot of white all around. Also, everything seems to take up way more space than normal. [name]Even[/name] looking at a name, the entry is just so unnecessarily large (to me). It might be that it looks very nice on a phone screen or tablet, but on my large computer screen it just looks too big…

forum posts for me are a grayish green color with a line between each post. The only thing that is white is the background.
The only issue I really have now is not being able to edit lists.

Not having much fun…it took forever for the site to load today. The search isn’t bringing anything up for me today. All the forum links had my user name attached?? I really miss the pink & blue. :frowning:

Lol, I really don’t cope well with change. I can’t seem to work out what threads I’ve read and what I haven’t any more. This may just be my brain being confused by the different layout though.

Nah, that’s me as well. I do find it pretty (subtle and soothing colours), but it takes some time getting used to.

I am not a huge fan of the new Nameberry. Maybe I am just resistant to change, but it seems slower and doesn’t load up nearly as quick as it used to. Sometimes it is so slow to load, I have avoided coming on here completely. There have been a few times over the past couple of days that the threads wouldn’t even load at all.

(I use a pc not a phone or a tablet)

It does look nice though.

Is anyone else having trouble getting to different pages in a thread? When I click on a page number, a “jump to page” box pops up, but when I click on the box to enter a number, it disappears. This means I can only read the first and last pages of a thread, and the site seems reluctant to let me go back and forth between first and last pages. I have to click several times… Or maybe it’s just slow again! Weird.

I’m not too fond of the new nameberry right now. It took me 3 tries to log in, and it kept on freezing. It shows a lot of jumbled up colors and words at first and then freezes. Is this happening to anyone else?

On my desktop at work, I logged in and could see the green for the first time…just a very pale green background for each forum comment and then the darker shade for the date and the “report/reply/reply with quote” bar. On my laptop, and my home desktop, I can only see the darker shade and it looks much lighter than it does on my work desktop. I cannot see any of the soft shades of green on my laptop, but if I look really closely, I can see where the green should be now that I know where to look. It’s rendered as a very subtle off-white, almost like they added one shade of grey (or green perhaps?). Like I said, I had to look very closely to even see that. At first glance, the whole page looks white except for the date and reply bars and the thin line of colors in between each comment.

I think this problem is due to the differences in the way monitors/screens display colors. My humble suggestion would be to darken each green in the forums by just a shade or two, because apparently it’s so pale right now that some displays just render it as an off-white.

As a postscript, I too love the orange highlights, and in light of all the gender stereotype discussions on the forums lately, I think “non-gendered” colors like the orange and the green are a great choice.

Like it so far! [name]Love[/name], love, love the colors.

DH was even impressed and he is a self described “snob” as it pertains to websites.

I’ve had this same exact problem, and then after a few tries, it just closes the entire program on my ipad. I’m sure they will get it fixed up soon!

For a while, I wasn’t allowed to post anything in the forums. I don’t know why. I’m just now able to post.
