Lush Stories 2.0. Please report bugs here

Will there be a way to find your friend's last post in the Forums so you can follow them? Is that being worked out? What happened to the married to/in a relationship with thing from the old Lush

"It does not exist but we are going to add it in over the next few months, Admin"

Is there / could there be a place where the issues being worked upon are listed?  That might circumvent a lot of redundancy here.

In forums, clicking on 'my posts' does show me those posts, but 'view post' in any of those takes me to the START of the subject forum, not to the subject post.

Posting images from my media doesn't work in the chatroom or in private chat. You just get 'Link Removed'.

Seconding Lynn's suggestion for a list of known issues please Theredbaron

"This bug is now fixed, Admin"

I'm finding it tricky to work out if something is me not knowing how the new system works,  something that isn't there but will be or is a total bug.

Hi I appreciate design issues will change later so I’m hoping the whole bastard offspring of Facebook and match.com is temporary 

But the biggie is the links for chapters of a series is missing which makes it harder for someone to find the next chapter of a series. Or it is missing on my stories. I checked chapter 5 of Charlotte sometimes. No link to chapter 6 or a read again link to chapter 4.

Just noticed that everyone who has had a recommended read on the old side. It doesn’t appear they have been carried over to the new site

Hiya, you can view them all here. It's not obvious on your profile or from the story preview that it has an RR or EP, but it's been raised as a design issue thanks.

Okay, the level of detail available to authors seems to be much more basic than previously. Some questions: 

Are authors going to have the same access they previously had to their stories? At the moment I can't see my word counts, or the history of story edits (either by mods or myself) - the edit history is useful so I can see what changes have been made to to the version I pasted into the Lush publisher. 

Also - I can't easily access all my stories from one page - my 60+ stories are on 7 pages which I have to navigate across one by one to reach the oldest. Those with more stories will obviously have a longer trek. I used to do this from one scrollable page. And on that same page were those word counts, scores etc. I could also change the order of my stories, promoting those I wished to my profile page. There was also a separate page that ordered my stories by category and by series. That option also seems to have gone. 

It's not easy to identify those stories with RR and EP or those with an audio unless you directly access the story (i.e. it's not visible from the list). These stood out really clearly before. Scores and number of reads are general rather than specific. For some reason one story has dropped it's score without any additional votes.

Hiya. The data is there, but how we manage it and access it probably falls under design features rather than bugs at the moment. Great feedback though, so we will add it to the design features list.

Re the scores, this has been noted as a bug and is being looked at. Thank you 🥰

Thank you for the response Jen - It won't be a move forward if we lose those features, so good if they can be added to the list for design features. Speaking of which (I'm sure others have mentioned) - this really isn't a dating site. Seriously - please get rid of all the 'match' stuff. Bad, bad move!!

"A lot of the functionality has been changed to make friends if wanted etc. We are however working on a feature to remove it for all of those that don't want it, Admin". 

1. All of my old blog posts are missing after the migration. Everything on my timeline too apart from the last 'happy birthday from the Lush Team' post.

2. All of the "notes" I had on friends profile 'notebooks' are missing, which is rather annoying as it didn't even occur to me that they would not be migrated so didn't think to back them up. I had really useful things noted down in there and used it a fair bit.

3. I've been unable to remove the USA flag from the chatrooms despite my location being UK.

4. My friend and I created a private chatroom last night, but she as the creator kept getting booted out.

5. After she re-created the chatroom with the same password, I pasted the password in, it refused to work, did it again, refused to work. After the 6th time of pasting the same clipboard item in it worked.

6. The chat room isn't remembering settings. If I set it to dark mode, camera view off, largest font size etc, then leave and come back. It resets the view again to small text, light theme, camera view enabled.

7. Call me a complete dunce if you like, but what does "No Directing" actually mean in the titles of some of the default chat rooms? I can take a guess, but if it's a rule, perhaps a clearer way of stating it could be considered?

8. I cannot seem to find the list of stories that I have read and voted on

Three things I've noticed so far:

1.  The Competition page for the current Comp is only showing a few of the stories.

2.  I prefer the Timeline to the Notifications, I like seeing all the activity in a list, even things I might have already responded to.

3.  The story Views are rounded off, I prefer the old way of whole numbers.  I know, I know I am anal, but I was tracking my views.

Other than that, the upgrade seems kinda clunky compared to the old site.  I will reserve judgement and take the time to get to know it.

For timelines, click on your avatar, then 'my comments'. You can also use this link https://www.lushstories.com/feedback. Then you can filter activity by story, profile etc.

Seeing forum replies from members I have blocked, seeing blocked members in the chat rooms. Why aren't they blocked, still?

Please use this forum to report technical issues and bugs that the development team can prioritise. Please don't use this thread for design features that you would like. Migration will be ongoing for a while and technical issues will be prioritised. Thanks

Hi Jen,

Thanks for the thread.!!Seems many of us are experiencing same or similar issues.

A few I’ve found are:

It seems like everyone can view everyone’s walls and also post to walls of people who are not friends? This is a a privacy breech.

The privacy settings across all parts are very lax. 

The Platinum badge is no long drive available.  Will Platinum members still receive their privileges and not be required to pay again? 

How do we set ourselves to be invisible? 

What function is the equivalent of black box messaging?

The forums are very confusing as well.

Thanks for your help and patience.  This ain’t easy for any of us ~ especially the Mods 🙂

I can't get past the "Authenticator" to fully login. Yesterday it showed a QR code that I could scan, that worked and said I was Authenticated. Today it just wants a six digit code and the app defaults to my work and Lush does not show the QR code. I can write this but not get to my profile or mail or much of anything

Thanks for the reply, Jen, but hopefully you see what I mean by clunky.  What used to take one click, now takes several to get to the page, change the filter, and then it not displays very few compared to the old timeline, but it has my own replies taking up space.  Clunky!

It's definitely better than yesterday - a very well done to everyone involved.

Other things I've noticed:

• RRs and EPs: are stories going to carry these on the main stories page?
• Can we search by votes awarded?

Other than that - it's really taking shape, I like it.

So I've just paid for the Gold upgrade (my gold membership ended recently.) Doesn't seem to have made a difference to my account?

I still have the Gold Upgrade Now! showing. I'm guessing it's not an instant thing.

My Gold Membership is set to expire mid December, but I also see the "Gold Upgrade Now!" banner.

What were the Gold perks again? Not sure I see/have them or not TBH.

Edit: I see I have the gold badge on my avatar.

@noll upgrade perks can be seen here: https://www.lushstories.com/upgrade?reason=gold

New issue:

FelicityAdmin has sent a PM telling me to re-verify my email:

I haven't received this email at all (junk folder or otherwise), but cannot find any way to re-send the verification email in order to complete the verification? I'm not sure why I would need to re-verify either?

Will there be a user how to manual when all the updates are done?  My list is getting longer and longer  Trying to be patient till it all settles in. Change is good Change is good… 

That would be nice. I have a few 'Where do I find?' 'How do I?' etc questions which I hope get resolved (or I find out answers for myself) before I have to ask them.

Better today! Have all my forum buttons and they work. Replied to a story. Audios work. Pics look good. Comment count seems to count comments plus my replies, which is fine. Scores are still off... 

Digging the new site. SO MANY issues addressed in the last 12 hours.

I'd like to see the line spacing for text tweaked, in the Forum, but ESPECIALLY the stories. A little more space between paragraphs, a little less space for line breaks. Right now stories look like big blocks of text, and it drives me bonkers. I am, admittedly, easily driven bonkers.    

"We are looking at this at the moment, Admin"

New issue:

settings > privacy > block list

If I click remove, it says it completed successfully but the user remains in the list. If I refresh, the user is still there. If I click to remove again, I get "Sorry, there has been a problem. Please try again later. "

Edit: after about 5 minutes a refresh does show these blocked users as no longer listed, but there is a huge delay

"It does take a minute to run through the database as we have a lot of members, Admin"

How do you change distance? Mine reads 0. When I had the option while setting up my profile, I thought I had changed it from 500 to 1000. There is no pencil symbol next to it when you go into 'Edit Profile'.

I can see members so does it actually mean anything?

"Click on your homepage then activity page, and top right in settings, Admin"

Thanks

How do you edit your forum signature?

Mine has links to my stories on the old site and I guess the address has changed as page not found comes up. Also the signature looks horrible and big and shouty. 

Not exactly up there in issues to fix but if anyone knows how to do it, I’d appreciate it
