Is it possible to restore the ability to print out a story.
I prefer to print and read away from the PC screen and could do this under Lush 1.

Quote by MeggsyYou can still print after a fashion. In Win, right click on the open story and select print. You'll get a preview and can deselect the ending pages of comments and site blather. The down side is that the text format is only 155 characters wide, so a 5,000 word story will run 25 pages of a center text column and lots of wasted space on either side. Another in the long list of 'we used to be able to.'Is it possible to restore the ability to print out a story.

I am another user who used the printer friendly option. What you describe (25 pages) is not really an option. If it was there with LUSH1 how hard is it to bring it back? The option of down sizing the font (to save pages) is sort of imperative also. Is this something we can expect in the future?

You can use an old browser to unlock the page. This will allow you to copy/paste to Word etc. Once there you can reformat it anyway you like.

Not sure I understand what the issue is. The print stylesheet is set for a middle-of-the-road, comfortable reading size. It might be a tad large (I've not tried it), but if it's made too small, people will complain they can't see it.
The beauty of an operating system or browser-supported print option - either to paper or PDF - is that you can choose the scaling. If you don't like how big the font is, in the print dialog, change the scale from 'fit to paper' to manually set the scale. Choose, I dunno, 60%. The characters per line will reflow automatically and a 6000-word story that previously occupied 21 pages now fits on 10; that's 5 sheets duplex. Depending on your eyesight that might be too small so YMMV, but it really is up to you.
All the Print button did on Lush 1 was fire up the browser's print dialog box and pass it a stylesheet with a small font size. It's no different here, it's just that the font size is a tad larger by default. Yeah, the print button is missing, but all you have to do is choose File->Print (or Ctrl-Shift-P / CMD-P) from the browser instead.

Please browse my digital bookshelf. In this collection, you can find 117 full stories, 10 micro-stories, and 3 poems with the following features:
* 30 Editor's Picks, 75 Recommended Reads.
* 16 competition podium places, 11 other times in the top ten.
* 22 collaborations.
* A whole heap of often filthy, tense, hot sex.

Apparently, this was an issue that was addressed. The result from ctrl-p is completely different than when I responded here 4 weeks ago. It is now a useful function, so cheers for that.
