Lush Stories 2.0. Please report bugs here

Quote by Jen

You can save stories as a draft and they will be held in your stories list as unpublished

You can then go in and edit as needed before submitting

That is reassuring to know because I thought that my Lush writing career might be over at 192 stories. Thank you. Paul

Forums are arranged illogically. When you navigate to the thread you’re at the first post, not the latest post. Typing the last page number in the box and submitting doesn’t always work.

Is there only 1 chat room now? 

Please admit this new iteration of Lush is terrible and return to the old format. It was logical and it worked.

I don't use the chatrooms, but I believe there is more than one. Certainly the intention is to have more than one.

The new iteration of lush is just that - new. It's still being built and will take time. The old version of the site will not be returning. I understand people's frustrations with the change, but it was necessary to keep the site going. 

I just emailed a support ticket due to functionality in the story editor. I used to be able to paste word documents into it and all the formatting was preserved. The new editor strips italics and centre formatted text, it probably strips everything from word but I haven't tried everything.

Any ideas when this can be fixed. It's stopping me putting stories into Lush at the moment, not a big deal - probably for the best really, but I'm not reformatting it all again. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't because there is no centre format icon.

You can’t search by the members name anymore.

How do we get rid of seeing peoples footers?  Not interested in seeing those.

We don’t have a list of the moderators and admin team anymore.  Will we be able to see that?

Hugs,

Mysteria

The story editor seems to have a number of bugs –

The space bar doesn't work consistently

The reverse delete button deletes the letter following the position marker

There is now way to link to previous stories other than to make them part of a series, which means going back and editing the original story and resubmitting it.

On an iPad it is impossible to cut and paste text form iPad apps, such as Word or Textilus.

On an iPad hitting the Submit button does the same as the Save button and does not send the story to a moderator.

A few of my stories and poems are in unpublished and were published years back.  I lost the views and comments on them.  

Should I just send them to the mods to get looked at again?

You can’t search for stories anymore and there’s no organization to the stories.  I have 950 and to just page thru them is unbearable.

I hate to sound like a broken record but if this is a story site first why did we seem to lose all the stuff key to writers?

I hope it improves because I don’t want to read or write with how it is now.  All the stuff that Gav did made our time here pleasant.  It just seems a mess if your a writer.  

There’s no pizzazz anymore.  I hate using my phone on this website.  I always use my computer or my iPad.  I’m being forced to use my phone which I dislike.

I am assuming that adding a picture or whatever is NOT essential to getting a story published.

Correct.

the messenger box overlaps so i can't see what I'm typing.

"Send support a pic along with what phone you are using and we will look at it, Admin" 

When sending a message, is there a way to add more than one recipient? I couldn't.

"Yes just type in more names, but it will split them out it is not a group conversation. We will stick that on the wish list though, Admin"

Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to post things that are buggy with the site.

The IT guys are still working on some of the site mapping that got a bit drunk and lost during the initial migration. Once that's sorted, they can look at migrating the rest of the data and then we can look at design issues.

If you're still having issues with location, logging on, staying logged in, chat settings etc, it's all currently still being looked at, so hang tight. Same goes for usability issues from different browsers or devices.

If you post something and I delete it, it's likely to have been mentioned already, so no offence intended, I'm just trying to keep this thread more usable for the developers who will scan it for technical stuff.

It would be helpful if you could have a read through things that have been mentioned already before posting. The login issues are not person specific.

On that note, a lot of the story verifiers don't have access to the story queue right now, so there will be a wait for stories to be published.

Thanks gang, and happy Friday.

Not really sure why this keeps happening no one else I have talked with is having this issue.  My IM (green) keeps changing it is literally changing all the time.  Sometimes it has the dots which will work then a few minutes later they are gone and I have not even touch my IPad. 😳  

"Being honest, the IM is crappy it's on the to do list, Admin"

Thanks again for all your hard work this must be totally exhausting for you guys.

good morning.  I haven't yet found where my favorite stories are located on my profile.
Also, will the page for story tags be coming back?

"There is no favourite stories functionality at the moment, Admin"

not sure how to verify my status now (gold/silver).  I recently upgraded and charged but not seeing the upgrade.

🐛 I suspect this is a bug 🐛 

If I post a status from the status area on my profile it doesn't show up. I can only post status updates if I click Activity on the home page and do it there.

I think there are groups that are missing from this new Lush v2. I recently joined a group on Lush v1 called Amateur erotica. I've tried searching for it and can't find it. I would appreciate if someone could check that out for me, please.

Fairly minor mystery but my profile now appears with a USA flag next to my name. How can I change it to an Australian flag? My profile clearly says Australia (and like an earlier post, I was okay with my state but not really wanting to put my town - can that be amended too?).  Cheers

Sorry if this has been mentioned - you are all doing a fantastic job and trying to keep the site functional whilst also managing to migrate. I know messages are still in the process of coming over, but there is a minor inconsistency wtih the "unread" numebrs displayed. 

Eg. for me some screens show 429 (actual # from V1.0) - forums, stories landing page, messages, and some show 390 - profile, groups, gallery - just as examples. Not sure if that will fix itself up once migration is complete but thought to drop a mention.

I went to your profile and clicked the Navigation tab then clicked on Groups (if you are using the desktop version then you'll have the Groups showing on your profile). When I clicked on Groups I scrolled down the list of groups you've joined. I found Amateur erotica at the bottom.   

Thanks

I really hope the issue with chapters in a series is fixed soon. Clicking on "continue reading" will take me from chapter 3, to chapter 8, then I'll end up on 15 then chapter 2. It's impossible for anyone to read it in order, and the series button is disorganised too, hiding the chapter name with number.

I’m not being notified when an author I follow has submitted a new story, nothing in my email account either.

Okay, just found another post about my report so changing to just read that I am also getting mod threads on my New Posts.

I was able to pull up Darkside's reply to my comment (on his latest microfiction) and edit HIS response. 😲 However, when I hit SAVE I was logged out. 

Pls remove ability to edit others' comments on stories. 

Had it saved the edits once you logged back in? It shouldn't let you either way, but would be good to know if it worked. Thanks

It had NOT saved the edits, so that's good.

That's something that is on the substantial to-do list for the tech team. 😊

Site is looking good BTW

I mentioned this on the other side but it bears repeating since it's doing it here too - the birthday thing on my profile is wonky. 

I actually had to set it to the day after my birthday in order for it to show the proper date.

Yeah there's quite a bit of one-off around the place. -1 sometimes when you delete all media from an album, 0s instead of 1s (or one value out) for message counts, one day out for birthdays as you say. Little idiosyncrasies that'll be added to the list no doubt. Thanks for the report.

I'm pretty sure this has already been reported, but one good, one bad report, both related.

First, the good. There is a facility for seeing ALL the stories in a series from any story of that series. I can't quite remember how to do it, but now that I know it's there, it will help immensely. However, unless the stories are numbered (Chapter 1, chapter 2, etc.) there's no chronology to the listing.

Now the bad. Although stories in a series are linked, they are not linked properly. One series I'm co-writing, "Sara Surrenders" has, I think, 10 chapters. When I clicked the "Continue Reading" button at the end of chapter 2, it took me to chapter 7.

Not optimal.

I know this is not a crucial thing, but please add it to the list of secondary or tertiary things to fix.

Thanks!

Also links between chapters that you haven’t made a series are not present. I have 6 chapters of Charlotte sometimes published. There is no linkage even though they were all linked before the move. I hadn’t made it a series as it was in the novels category and was clearly labelled chapter 1 etc. 

Also I thought in the old lush you had to have 3 stories to make a series so two part stories could not be serialised  now those links are missing too  

Also there is no read again button so if someone published part 3 of a series there is no easy way for a new reader to go back to part 1 and start at the beginning  

Hopefully full linkage will be restored soon. 

The BLOCKING feature from previous Lush version did not / has not transferred over with my profile. Is Blocking something that is still a feature?
