If something isn't working
"Whose name should be read?"
Type a Hebrew name or an English name.
The link says "The Yizkor list isn't open right now."
Tick "Families can add names online" and Save.
"Removed — money was already paid for this name, so its commitment was kept"
The name is off the list but the payment stays. Refund it from the commitment if needed.
