  • Didn't lists connect us to a list of all the lists on wordie just a few days ago? Am I making that up?

  • Still works that way for me, jennarenn.

  • Same here. Note the difference between the URL of this page ("/words/word/lists") and the URL your bracket-link points to ("/words/lists") and you'll identify the problem. At some point John added the additional "word" subdirectory and caused all the old higher-level pages to forward to the new lower level so existing links wouldn't break, with the exception of forwarding special pages, like lists and some others that I can't remember right now. However, I think he forgot to change the bracket-to-link converter accordingly, which still generates the old-format URLs.

  • What he said. I just know it works. ;-)

  • So...in English what you're saying is that searching for "lists" in the search box will bring me here, but clicking on the word lists in brackets will take me to the list of lists page. Did I get that right?

  • Just added a 'List it' option to the choices in the 'Take this word and...' drop-down on every word page. Initially it had issues with multi-word phrases, but I think it's working now. Let me know if you have any issues.

  • The case of the missing lists has been solved. Turns out they're all invite-only. The plan had been to temporarily convert those to creator-only until we got email notifications working, but we inadvertently made them invisible.

    We have a fix for it on deck, but we're going to do some testing and consolidation and generally batten down the hatches a little before putting it into production. It should happen tomorrow night, barring anything unforeseen. Thanks very much for your patience on this everyone. Your lists will be back in your arms again soon.
