Lush Stories 2.0. Please report bugs here

I'm still not getting emails about the authors I'm following. And I know that some have published because I've seen their stories on the (very short) Front Page.

Moreover, I've received ZERO notifications that any of the 53 authors I'm following have published anything. That seems…unlikely.

Thanks.

My turn for a Me Too!  I hadn't noticed how few emails I was getting, thanks for the heads up!

Do we no longer get emails about the votes and comments we receive? You only get your notifications if you're in the site - the emails worked because it told you to go look. 

Did you know that anyone can select the words of anyone's story and cut and paste them into word and then modify them. I think this is a huge bug that should be addressed very soon.

This has been brought up before, I think. Just want to clarify... do you mean you can copy a story to your own computer? I'm assuming you don't mean you can change someone else's story here.

This has actually always been possible from a phone or a tablet. Not being able to cut/paste from a PC might give a false sense of security, but in reality scraper sites and anyone wanting to plagiarise content won't be deterred I'm afraid.

Some threads aren't working correctly .. tried to access : new chat mods thread ..  reminder given out thread and both sign me out . .

This should only be available to chat moderators/moderators, which is probably why you can't access it.

Apparently my story has been rejected. The message says:

    Story Rejected

Your story has been rejected by a Moderator. Check your Inbox for a message to find out why.

Too bad there's no email so I have no idea why my story has been rejected and I don't know who's the moderator to ask.

1) Every time I shut down my computer, I get logged off Lush. I live alone, so no worries that someone might see Lush on my computer, so I never log off. On the old site, it never mattered, when I powered my PC back up, I was still logged in. Now I have to log back in, then refresh each lush tab I have open. It is quite annoying.

2) I was going thru my mail to mark the emails I want to keep. As I tried to open some of them to read the contents, about every 3rd one or so would just give me the wheel of death, then after about 30 seconds would just stop spinning and it would be like I had not done anything. On the 2nd attempt, the mail would open. the same thing would happen at times when I would hit the back arrow to get back to my email.

3) When I selected the star and pressed the mouse button, there was quite often either a long delay or nothing would happen. sometimes I had to press it multiple times then would get messages starred, unstarred, starred, etc. Also, if my cursor was on the outline of the star or slightly outside, it would open the email instead of marking the star. Can that be made slightly less sensitive?

I noticed this as well... on the old site I could not even copy my own stories if I just opened them up normally. I had to go into edit mode to be able to copy them. Now I can copy any story. I realize a determined person could find a way around it, but at least it deterred some people. For a supposed writing site, writers do seem to have taken the biggest hit in the name of "progress".

It was always possible on two other sites with older software - I mean with a desktop. I just tried it again to make sure. I never experimented with Lush text. Unfortunately a lot of stuff on the Internet can be just copied - most images, for example. It could be protected, but most sites don't bother. Getty Images has a watermark over theirs, until one buys a copy from them.

I miss the emails which told me that someone had commented or whatever and the one that said my story had been approved. Being in the UK, I used to like checking my emails in the morning to see how many comments (and friend requests?) I had received 'overnight'. I suppose that some of the things that I miss might still re-appear-it would be nice if they did. As I have not yet had a story published since the move I do not know if my copyright thingy applies on here either.

The "timeline" option is missing, isn't it? That was nice to have.

Click your ava, and then the "My Comments" link.  It's essentially the same thing.

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

Click on your avatar at the top right of your screen. Scroll down and click Settings. Then click Privacy. Scroll to the end and you'll find Block List. Hope this helps.  

Same things holds when in chatrooms.  People I'd blocked going back several years - I am now seeing the comments - and they are seeing mine.

So, the list may have transferred over - but the functionality of it - is bonkers.

Hmm...  What's missing?  I'm seeing my comments and likes pop up.  The only other thing I can remember from the timeline was profile posts.

Quoted direct replies to any comments we might have made in any forum thread - would also appear in our timelines.

It was a nice feature over at the former digs.

No, this is a change from the old site.  You never could select text when reading a story.  Currently you can and I hope this gets fixed.

I just read that the site is getting 250 requests per day, mostly about log-in problems. Sorry, I sent a couple myself. The problem I had was that I didn't realize that I had to fill out the "seeking" profile first. It just wasn't clear to me that it was necessary, because I already had a profile. Another member clued me in (on another site's forum) and then it worked. I did have to reset my original avatar image, however.

Friend's comments or images they've posted to our profile page used to appear in our timelines.

I can't seem to publish a story that was migrated from the old site. It was waiting to be published and I've found the story, clicked on it, edited it so that I can see the publish button, I've also added a picture (from my file system - thanks). Submitted it. A popup appears telling me the story has been submitted and the blue banner at the top says that the story is currently in draft.

When I tab onto the Published stories - it is not there. When I go back to unpublished - it is there.

I was expecting a blue banner saying it was being verified in the published stories area - but nothing there. I tried six or seven times. 

Is this a bug? or is there a way to do this properly.

Hiya, there is currently an issue with stories saved as draft. They're not being submitted unfortunately. If you can copy and paste the story into s new submission, and submit immediately rather than save as a draft, that should work

There's nothing to fix, per se. The only people it will deter from copying are casual surfers. And they're unlikely to do so anyway. 

Anyone who wants to plagiarise your story that's "protected" by a right click blocker will do so either by using a) the browser inspector to copy stuff, b) a touch device, c) a plugin to counter the blocker, d) a script to download the page.

It's a fruitless endeavour. And slows the pages down fractionally. Selecting text is quite handy, imo, because people can quote their fave lines from your story directly in their comments!

Thanks for letting me know anyway.

Could fixing that editor be top priority please. It seems it's essential.

Do you have a moment to help me with a problem of sending a "Friend Request" that returns a Red box rather than a "request sent" green box?

Of course

Feel free to PM me the details and I can take a look.

Every content that you see in your browser is already downloaded to your computer. And so, every time someone sees your pic or reads your story, it's already downloaded to their computer. That's just how the web works.

I hope this doesn't get 'fixed', because it only provided a fake sense of security. The content could always be copied. At least now it's clear that that's the case.

I assume the feature is still being worked on. I surely hope it will extend to Groups too this time, as there is someone who frequents some of the same groups as I do and whose pics really turn me off.

Anyway, as for people you have blocked seeing your comments: that was always the case (unless I misinterpret your comment). The fact that you block someone doesn't change what they can see.

what happened to the "Favorites" section?  I can't find min when I log on
