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.
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.
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%
i still can't login on mobile. my profile login has been jacked up since the wordie transfer. something to do with my previous underscore name or something. really a pain.
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.
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.
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.
sionnach is pissed! I cannot blame him, for I have experienced similar frustration. I'm certain the site will one day become more useful for my needs and hopefully sionnach as well, but my patience is wearing thin. *darth vader breathing sound*
forgive my memory, but didn't each addition (words in lists) and even lists themselves once have time/date stamps with them? are these accessible? either way please make this data available as a toggle. this site needs to become useful for real world application. than k you.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
its disturbing to me that this is always at the top of the trending list, and now there's two of them. I'm disturbed enough as it is, this is not good.
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.
the word pages are loading super sloooww for me (win7 chrome PC). also the site on my android doesn't work at all (regular or mobile).
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)
i see subtle changes like links in the 'add to list' list, but bugs are still occurring which is the reason this should have been available on a beta subdomain until the bugs were fixed.
when it's faster to highlight a word, copy and paste into another browser window, i'm sorry but pretty sad site functionality no matter how you try to justify it or 'get into the habit'. it sucks.
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???
ok, just note that comment about the flow i'll remind u guys later.. its really the best way to get this site into the fast lane .. and by fast lane I mean the left lane of the German Autobahn.
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).
true about industrial vs reference usage. but still the tweets are useful in a good portion of cases i've found. for example i just clicked on this one which contains a quote:
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.
..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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.

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.

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.

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.

marky commented on the word feedback
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.

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.

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
marky commented on the word new interface
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
marky commented on the word new interface
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

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.

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.

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).

true about industrial vs reference usage. but still the tweets are useful in a good portion of cases i've found. for example i just clicked on this one which contains a quote:

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)

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. ;)

..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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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
(PC win 7).
oddly the button seems to shrink into a tiny button. odd.
here's a screen capture:

I've never been a big fan of squash as a primary ingredient. it's ok in soup though. can you even eat squash raw?

avocados are too. mushrooms are not.
yams, cactus and pine needles are edible plant materials too but i'd put them in the same category as asparagus.. just gross!!

marky commented on the word We must restore the dignity of this vegetable!
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.
