Hi Gav,

Looks like you have put an lot of effort in this, thanks

On my phone it looks pretty ok.. needs some getting used to, but normal pages work fine.
The stories are good readable, pages look good...
Just looks like it meant to be use with your phone flat and not standing up.
Leaves very little space on a 19/10 screen ratio phone, with top and bottom bars
Bet on a 3/4 ration ipad or tab it works fine, but on a 19/10 HD phone its not great
Would like to see it more responsive to a standing position on mobile devices so please reduce the size of the fonts like half

Only the chat rooms on my phone didn't improve...
pictures are pulled out of proportions..
so many buttons to push to select someone to talk too (why cant you select them from the list),or do some settings like turning off and on pictures
I got a pretty big phone (6 inch), but still by blowing up everything the screen is full immediately.
I liked the old chatroom's much better, easier to navigate even on my phone.. all buttons visual and with the zoom of my phone good to handle

Then you offer the option to go back to the old version but the red top controls screw up... on the phone and on the website
So also not an option at the moment

Sometimes I need my phone to access because sometimes Lush gets blocked...
now its much harder to have fun in these place with the chat rooms not working properly.

Oh on the webside the tabs of the mail are missing on the messages.. on the phone it works...

Hope you can do some thing with this feedback and keep up the good work
Thanks for all the good work

Keep up the good work Gav! Making a massive 13-year-old website responsive surely is a daunting task.

If you run into issues that you'd like a front-end dev to look at, feel free to contact me. Perhaps I may be able to help.

Generally i find this design on my desktop to be inferior. There is too much white space and less information available on almost all the screens. The chat room width adjustment suddenly removes the list of users. I can no longer put two windows side by side on my screen. I have also had the chat room looses the posting box when I resize the window. I am using the Brave browser on Mac.

The private chat window no longer has the avatar of the other person. There are 4 buttons at the top that don't seem to work.

Never having used Lush on my phone, I guess I don't appreciate the improvements.

Missing all the MAILBOX options. No sent box etc. And missing the Saved Chats and Saved onscreen black boxes. I really liked that feature, why is it gone.

Not sure it is gone deliberately. This thread is to report issues and I'd say you just reported one. I'll second it.

I have to agree with Buzz. I liked the old format much better. This one is cumbersome. I miss being able to black box more than one person on my friends' list easily. Now I can't do that on the desktop version either without actually going into their profiles which ruins a 3 way, via black boxing (instant messaging). Before the change on my desktop I could hover my mouse over someone's name and I had the drop box options...private message, poke, instant messaging, etc.
When I use my phone now the pictures and words are so large it's distorted. When I tried black boxing (instant messaging) the keyboard on my phone covers what I'm typing in the black box. So for me, using my phone is useless and that was how I was on lush half of the time. It makes lush much less more appealing. I've stopped using my mobile device altogether.

Phone works really well and I think I prefer it to what it was previously. Like Paintmaker said earlier, on my computer, I don't access to the email tabs any more.

Hi Barb, this link will let you click the box to disable the new style, and get back to the previous 'classic' Lush style. There may still be some issues, but Gav is working on getting them all fixed. It will all probably be smoothed out very soon.

THIS, yes, my problem too on a PC, although it works on a phone (iphone)

This screams style sheets not working properly

A bit of overlapping on portrait mode w/ chatrooms and leave room



On landscape mode(how users use it like that baffles me) there's a bit of overlapping as well





Besides that, there's nothing else to report on.

That is really odd, plenty of space there! Ok let me see what I can do.

I'm on my mobile and on portrait I can't see online messages or chat history, but if I rotate to landscape I can. So there needs to be a way to scroll across the messages menu to see the extra tabs


these tabs on the messages should be scroll able, can you swipe left with your finger over them?

I'm suddenly getting a message through my Lush inbox every time someone leaves a comment on a story. I have it set up to email me whenever I get a comment, but this is new. It at least isn't doubling up, because I also have it set up to email me whenever someone sends me a Lush message, and I'm only getting the email alert from the incoming Lush message that someone has left a comment, instead of both.

New means of processing those alerts?


yeah this was a fix from a while ago that only just landed. a member was not getting the emails (thanks Yahoo!) so we opted to send them via a PM instead.

something you want reverted?

Hello. I have the following issues…

1) On my iPhone - in any chat room, it no longer displays the list of chat-room occupants as a menu on the right-hand side.
2) Trying to switch between 'Says' and 'Whispers' is cumbersome and difficult.

Basically, I no longer feel comfortable accessing Lush on my mobile phone. So it's game over completely, where that device is concerned.

On both iPhone and Apple Mac laptop

1) The Blocked list has disappeared completely from Privacy Settings. Meaning you can no longer see who have blocked and am unable to unblock anyone you may have blocked in error.

On the plus side, the new Private Chat box is a better design than before. But not enough to make me want to stay. I recently upgraded to a premium membership, and while it's a small amount of money, the principle of it jars with me. I now can't use Lush properly on a mobile and I'm losing features that were previously available to me across the board.


1) The list of users is now available from a slide in menu by clicking the Users link in the header.
2) I will look into a better way to expose this on mobile devices

1) Should be back now?

I logged on with my phone and feel like I am in the twilight zone - my avatar gone, friends gone, different friends, comments not on stories. It is like I am looking at a different database of information. I will read back through these comments and see if I can understand what is going on. I knew there was a Lush app or something on a different platform, but didn't understand it sad I really just want the same format and database of information from my laptop or my phone, if that is possible.


it should be the exact same data, just displayed in a different format depending on your device. if you can send me screenshots of any particular issues you have i will be happy to look at them. thanks.

One noticeable hiccup when hovering over a friends avi on the Your Friends list is that it won't bring up context menu unless user has membership badge visible.

For Example:
SimplyJohn has Platinum badge visible on avi but Dudealicious doesn't which automatically takes me to Dudealicious profile even though he(Dudealicious) has Platinum membership.
Gav has Gold badge on avi and context menu pops up.

MisterE36 has free account(unless he has badge hidden) and when hovering over his avi it automatically takes me to his profile.


Most of the users on my list have Platinum membership badge visible and their context menu pops up.


sounds like an up-sell opportunity silly
should be fixed now?

I can live with it. It was a little easier to manage the housekeeping with them coming through email, but it's not a huge issue. Nobody else seems to be complaining, and it's apparently helping others, so I can adjust to the new norm.

In the chat rooms top right we have Home, Chat Rooms and Leave Room. The Leave Room is overwriting part of the Chat Rooms option.

Apologies if this has already been flagged.

Yes, it's fixed;content menu shows for all users. Thankyou Gav.

The room overlapping is well, still overlapping, but I'll update here if that's still an issue. (plus, it's only been a couple hrs so I'm sure your looking into it.)

I can still exit w/out an issue.

This morning when I got on I have no message/ friends/ away/profile bar. Can’t get to my friends, log in,get message or see my profile/timeline. Sorry but I’m really getting frustrated! I’m using the desktop version on my phone and so far it’s getting worse. What am I doing wrong or can it be fixed?
EDIT
I found it but I can only access it from the forums page because it so darn small I can barely see it anywhere else. When I expand the screen it slides off the page and my frustrations grow! I never had to enlarge anything on my phone before the “update”

Can you supply a screenshot for what you see?
There's been many messages like this one but w/ you taking a screenshot is more helpful w/ trying to diagnose issue.

Edit:read your update from above. Many are having the same issue.
