  • cool list!

    July 31, 2012

  • kind of.. its when the page only loads some content until you scroll down then at the bottom you may see a loading spinner that waits and then loads more content. here's a page that takes a while to load erin: http://www.wordnik.com/lists/b-adjectival-arcana-a

    it may be useful to have the option at the top to load all content at once, but have a note that it maybe slow on longer lists? but honestly i think there's a problem with the server.. it shouldn't take this long to load 8000 words.

    July 29, 2012

  • there seems to be a delay thats back on some of the page loads with thousands of words. i wonder if a lazy loading script would help.

  • several times i add a word to a list thinking no one has listed it and it'll pop up listed over here. hernesheir added these one by one i think. amazing

  • another handy feature concerning list organization aside from being able to categorize our own lists would be to be able to categorize other lists from our favorites. i know this is a bit nit-picky but i could use this too at this point .. it gets overwhelming as you probably are aware of erin. :)

    i have my own reasons for this and i'm sure there are other users (present and future) that could utilize something like this for their own needs i would think.

  • why have i never seen this list? cool list!

    June 20, 2012

  • ive added those to my open list http://www.wordnik.com/lists/color--red replace color with other colors to see the other color lists

    June 18, 2012

  • whatever happened to custom ordering of words in lists and our list of lists (alphabetical, custom, etc) ? or better yet, how about being able to move lists around into categorized lists? i'm ready to take this site to the next level. seriously, i don't know if anyone else could use uber-granular controls but i sure could.

  • chrome i've disabled my extensions thats so weird. what could cause that? firefox its showing fine. it appears for a split second onload then goes bye bye .. odd

    UPDATE: i've figured it out, when my page zoom is set to 75% it goes away. it's either wrapping or going behind something so that's a bug. it actually reappears at 50%

    let me know if u can replicate that

    February 11, 2012

  • too bad the cases aren't forced to lower on common words like wordie used to do, or that we can manually set this for adding large lists of words.

    when i asked about this over a year ago i was given a response that there was a solid plan to handle cases. not really seeing it.

    for now this is fine: http://www.wordnik.com/lists/color--red

    but i'd rather these be in lower case.. especially the lists i'm currently adding.

    i have to do the case conversion in open office first i guess.

    January 26, 2012

  • oh i remember, is it possible to disable the images loaded from flickr per user, i don't need them and it really slows the page load it seems to make those connections. the images are rarely relevant to the actual words or meanings anyways. google image search would even return more meaningful results.

    January 23, 2012

  • ok i guess the word i was on didn't have any, well thesaurus.com has a larger library of synonyms and antonyms. anyway..

    i completely lost my train of thought as to what i came here to say in the first place.

    January 22, 2012

  • i find it interesting there aren't antonyms listed on related! WOW!

    January 20, 2012

  • ah man i thought i was going nuts. lol

    oh i'll check the rhyming service later! thats cool!

    January 17, 2012

    all my other probs r resolved.

  • i suppose i need to clarify, where do i go to a page to see the list of all words tagged 'fun to say'?

    December 24, 2011

  • nevermind i found it. that was too hard to find! it should also be on the top or bottom of the list page as it is on the word lists themselves!

    plus site's acting rather odd.

    December 23, 2011

  • why can i suddenly not find where to start a new list?

    December 16, 2011

  • definitely rockin the site now, but..

    why is the add word input field waay at the bottom of the page on lists? :/ thats an unnecessary hassle to have to nav to the bottom every time.

    December 12, 2011

  • so the site is working much better now. I can certainly tell the difference. fairly usable. I need to get used to the interface I suppose. some things I like, other things just not sure yet. the main thing is the site is working faster! thanks.

    December 7, 2011

  • is it faster? ok it is slightly.

    i'd like to customize my profile to ignore all images. then it will be fast. thanks.

    November 30, 2011

  • disregard my complaint about the font. it was a terrible helvetica i had installed on my system. once i removed it, it fell back to default arial and looks fine.

    my apologies, but i still think the user customizable font type and size is a cool idea.

    November 30, 2011

  • you know what would be neat? the ability for users to change the font between a few selections. should be a straightforward css / js situation.

    November 30, 2011

  • i guess its already one of the known issues but i just realized that we cannot 'move' words from one list to another.

  • cool. lol @ the example.

    September 17, 2011

  • erin, i need to access the notation i did in the comments to specific lists. didn't expect it so soon, but please help me. I made comments on many lists for future access by commenting "cool list!". could you email me these? thank you.

    September 17, 2011

  • sites broken. it's nothing less than completely tragic. don't get it twisted.

    September 17, 2011

  • thanks erin for the offer, if I need it I will let you know. as for now I'm content with the possibility it will return in the somewhat near future (hopefully this fall sometime).

    September 12, 2011

  • seriously, I made some comments on several lists so i can access them with a google search. now that process was a complete waste of time. thanks.

    someone has ruined the site?

    September 11, 2011

  • yes, it's almost always the case with developing. fully understood.

    September 1, 2011

  • oh there's hernesheir. what's the status on the site erin?

    thank you.

    August 30, 2011

  • nice dream harjo!

    August 26, 2011

  • big changes or running into trouble? hopefully more of the former.

    August 23, 2011

  • pretty sure a significant part of the slow loading on the word pages is due to the flickr images. just from what i've observed. the more images, the slower it loads. when there's none, it's much faster.. but still delayed a bit too long.

    August 22, 2011

  • thanks bilby.

    August 20, 2011

  • oroboros, great quote.

    August 20, 2011

  • thanks erin. i know how things can be.. perhaps you are understaffed, the time lapse is understandable in this instance. i hope the issues are resolved directly.

    August 17, 2011

  • sionnach, yes. perhaps more distressing is that our complaints about things were seemingly ignored only to have the comments worked on and now they're broken too. everything makes no sense whats going on. i don't get it.

    August 17, 2011

  • yep. indeed i am. they've added too many bells and whistles to the site and its on the brink of sucking.

    it was done with no forewarning or input from the users either. thats the part that gets me.

    if we had the choice to upgrade or go back to legacy / classic mode without the bugs.. everything would be cool. but no one seems to even care or address that. the sites broken. it is a big deal. click this word: supine. how long did it take for the page to load? it used to be instant.

    August 15, 2011

  • SPEED UP THE WORD PAGES. the lag is seriously on the brink of making the site unusable. i literally lose my train of thought sometimes waiting 10-20 seconds for the fucking page to load. this is not cool.

    the site used to be instant. INSTANT. the way it should be. I'm on a super fast network too. all other major sites do not do this. the old wordnik pages don't do it either. just the new ones.

    August 15, 2011

  • oroboros, i have the tiny font situation in the text fields on comments, i just zoom the page up one as a workaround for now.

    August 15, 2011

  • oh good im not the only one.. its a huge deal to me as i dont like wasting time.. its frustrating.

    August 14, 2011

  • i hope u guys get all the new interface word pages to load faster too. the old pages like my list page and even the community page loads about 3-5 times faster on average. can't believe i'm the only one who notices this too. cmon, i remember when the whole site worked this fast. it was so nice.

    whats the status on this bug fix?

    August 10, 2011

    August 5, 2011

  • someday, we'll find it.

    August 5, 2011

  • on the login issue, if you're clicking the link from within an email it could auto log you in from the link itself and take you directly to the comment, skipping the process of even having to login.

  • Yeah on Dolphin 6 .. this is the only site that's completely unusable out of all the sites I use. I noticed that each link I hit asks to use 'which browser' like 2-3 times .. no other site does this. Is this a ruby fail? Ruby uses multiple processes .. its really not good. Take a hint from twitter and stop using ruby, they would be out of business if they kept using ruby on rails.

    PS the regular used to work on my android. most of my mobile lists don't load at all because they're too big. (it loads the first 3 words and locks up)

    July 27, 2011

  • wow dude, sounds like you're trippin on acid.

    July 27, 2011

  • it's actually 2 scrolls and 4 clicks to add a word to a list. once to scroll down to your list on the list section, then after the 3RD CLICK to show the rest of your list, you have to SCROLL AGAIN and find in the FAINTLY COLORED TEXT your actual list, and finally one last click. wow. just wow guys. really? REALLY???

    that's not a solution!

  • having to click once to get to the lists, then click again to show my list then scrooollllll down to the list..then click AGAIN to add to the list.. man this is too much work. there are definite easier ways to do this with 1 click and no scroll (or possibly a slight scroll if you have 100's of lists).

    June 21, 2011

  • things i like:

    1) ability to add word to multiple lists easily via a checkbox.

    (good idea, bad implementation. function / placement)

    2) a few list groups with words + comments on main page.

    (good idea, decent implementation)

    3) full site works good on my mobile (android desktop mode)

    June 20, 2011

  • easy access to all lists should have been the number one focus, followed by the displaying of more words per page of each list and list of lists. this is what we wordnikers do primarily. everything else should be left as is as bilby stated.

    the site is frustrating in its current state.

    thanks PU... just saw your comment. ;)

    June 20, 2011

  • bilby.. :D

    ..yes what he said. i didn't want to say it myself, but yes.

    why not roll it out under a beta.wordnik.com subdomain so users can still go to www.wordnik.com and use the old faithful being that they may be using it as a project and this could hinder user experience and turn off finicky users. remember digg and myspace? prime examples.

    June 20, 2011

  • sluggishness is definitely related to loading so much data on the word pages themselves at once! :/ it's too much especially when there's external http calls to flickr and such..

    you should use a lazy loading technique to load external data (flickr and such) activated only when scrolling to the bottom.. something like this so the meat of the page (definitions / lists / comments and such) loads instantly like it should being that it's only text.

    June 20, 2011

  • I've been noticing an intermittent sluggishness on the site too.. usually the server error logs have clues to the reason. anyone else experience slow performance?

    June 20, 2011

  • do u have regrets?

    June 19, 2011

  • lol Cool list bro.

    June 19, 2011

  • i like some of the ideas, if they worked properly. like on the list row.. show all 50 lists? I have 86 lists. things like this are irking. :/

    June 19, 2011

  • fully agree with ruzuzu on lists and comments on the main page for each word. other things, i'm really not so keen on a lot of it so far. lets get the bugs worked out and see.

    June 19, 2011

  • oops.. http://www.wordnik.com/words/-dom?suggested_from=dom

    June 18, 2011

  • u got it. i'll get back with u on it. ;)

    incidentally i'm pretty sure all the ideas i have can be done using html5 and some js no problem (tablet / multitouch friendly.)

    June 18, 2011

  • the new design has elements that are superior to the old design but i'm ending up having to perform more clicks to accomplish the the same tasks as before, when it should be ideally less clicks (as in one preferably). perhaps because of the bugs, but I can think of far superior ways to streamline the flow here.

    unrelated question: any chance of adding a rhyming dictionary with API access? :D

    June 18, 2011

  • on the word's definition page, on show all my lists.. all my lists aren't in that list!

    June 18, 2011

  • word lists don't show the word list updating (the entered word adding to the list) after 'add' on Chrome 12.0.742.91 dev-m

    yams, cactus and pine needles are edible plant materials too but i'd put them in the same category as asparagus.. just gross!!

    June 13, 2011

  • bilby is correct about it being a jumped up graminoid! if you're going to include these types of edible plant material (and leaves like kale!) then you have to include spices like ginger.

    March 17, 2011

  • Thanks! My lists are tools for revision.

    My use of Wordnik is hardly as creative as yours, though. I love the multi-dimensional geometric tessellations :D.

    But you missed Tesseract. Also, TesseracT is a great progressive Metal band significantly employing the polyrhythm.

    November 5, 2010

  • thanks, oddly enough I've been having discussions about Operas a lot with a friend (an older gentleman) who has been in the Opera for many many years and he's always dropping exquisite Opera terminology in our conversations, so yeah.. it's all him, I'm just a really good listener! ;)

    January 20, 2010

  • Hi marky, I can't say exactly when, but we'll be releasing a public API to get the words in lists in the coming weeks. You'll see it announced on 'feedback', and also @wordnikapi.

    January 20, 2010

  • Marky, I've forwarded your question at bugs and John's profile to apiteam@wordnik.com.

    January 20, 2010

  • I was merely being facetious about it more than anything, envisioning an 'evil butterfly' because most people associate butterflies with flowers, girls and peace.

    January 6, 2010

  • If you don't mind me asking marky, what do you have against butterflies?

    December 29, 2009

  • Hi Marky, hope you enjoy the wordnik api. We'll be opening up access to lists shortly--I'd love to hear what you'd like to do with them. Send me a note on my profile, or via old-school email.

    December 19, 2009

  • Thanks mark! :-) Feel free to contribute as many pronunciations on the list as you see fit. There are many awesome ones yet to be discovered (and made, no doubt).
