GeoNames Forum

I am calling geonames with jquery like this

Code:

source: function( request, response ) {
 				$.ajax({
 					url: "http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON",
 					dataType: "jsonp",
 					data: {
 						q: request.term,
 						featureClass: "P",
 						style: "full",
 						maxRows: 10	
 					},

Why does it work without a username?

you are using a old server which sooner or later will be shut down:
http://geonames.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/application-identification-for-free-geonames-web-services/

the current server is api.geonames.org
