LushSpace goes LIVE!

13 May 2009

Hi everyone,

After some beta testing (ongoing), we are pleased to announce the launch of LushSpace, the total overhaul of our Author Profile section.

Your own personal page will be: http://www.lushstories.com/members/YOURUSERNAME.aspx - so mine is: http://www.lushstories.com/members/nicola.aspx for example.

It features:

- Your Stories List
- Comprehensive Bio Area
- Friends List
- Mini Blog
- Comments (from friends)
- Image hosting
- Videos
- Latest forum posts
- Country location / list of members section

We will be adding other features as time permits.

Current feature requests being worked on:

- Author recommended reading list (thanks Ghost)
- Music Playlists

Post in this forum if you have any issues / suggestions for improvement. A few layout tweaks are being made as the cross browser compatability isn't quite there yet, so please give it a week to settle down.

Get pimping everyone!

Cheers,

Nicki

I love the new format for our profiles, but is there anyway we can see the scores of our stories, and other authors' stories without clicking on them? Its not a huge issue, but it was nice to be able to get some idea of what is a popular story before actually opening the story.

Should be easy to add, thanks Jebru. What do you suggest showing? # Story Views and Average Score? # Votes as well?

For ease, I guess it would be best to have it on the same line as this:

Added : Apr 01, 2009 | Category : Straight Sex

That would be better than next to the title, which is sometimes rather long.

Gav has this thread bookmarked. He's a bit backed up with real work at the moment unfortunately, but we'll get to everything sooner rather than later icon_smile

I would prefer Average Votes and Score, but I'm sure some people like seeing number of views as well.

14 May 2009

Total votes, and Average score you mean?

What does everyone else think?

14 May 2009

I think average score is more important than the rest.

It does. I like it better that way.

What are you playing at man, we like weeks of procrastination and over-analysis here!

Looks good - I think the # votes is largely meaningless though, and would be inclined to drop it. Someone writing in a more popular category is going to get a much higher number of votes, but the quality is the main thing.

I'll leave it to the voiciferous consensus as per the norm.

I would like to still have the option where we can see when the member joined , so we have a better idea who is new and who isn't. Other than that I like the new system you and your team have created Nicola, keep up the good work.lOknuv9qL8olkBzU

Nicola I see It when we go to the members section but i do not see in my actual profile anywhere I checked 3 times just to make sure

14 May 2009

Oh, you want it on the profile page in case members don't post in here. I see now.

new profile pages are great - nice to see the experience evolve -

looks like i lost my sent folder in the process though as I can only locate my inbox.
Am I blind or is this the case? If so, any plans to restore the sent folder?

thanks
