Responsive Site Design Issues and Feedback

15 Apr 2020

I hope can be fixed. I think you may start losing members. Old way was more compact les keystrokes and quicker to maneuver around. Needing a Lush for Dummies to learn to maneuver. I lose the top settings going from friends to friends having to go back to forum each time to find them. Do I need personal one on one instruction? Got to smile

I have just sent the following to Gav, with requisite screenshots

I have lost my tabs in Messages (Inbox, Sent Items, Folders, etc.).
When I first noticed this, on Firefox the buttons on the right of the header bar, wrapped onto the main web page. wrapping-headerbar(message)1.jpg
After fiddling a little with the Mobile Stylesheet button, this seems to be ok.
See wrapping-headerbar(message)1a.jpg

If I reduced the page to 1186 pixels wide, it transforms to the new style and the tabs come back.
See wrapping-headerbar(message)2.jpg

However
With the 'Disable the responsive stylesheet on a mobile device' checked the right hand buttons move off the header bar onto the main page, it also seems the quick link buttons to the Forum etc are repeated.
See wrapping-headerbar(message)3.jpg
Also the size of the page makes no difference, the tabs remain gone.

This is using Windows 10 on a 17" laptop and checking with Firefox and Opera.

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.

Drop down menu unavailable. Whats the new tick box for?

what tick box?

You should first read this Looky Here!!

and then this Free stuff

then say 'Hi'

Hi Gav. It looks great! Thank you for everyone's hard work.

small problem with the chat rooms. The Drop down box to select users, does not correspond to the Room list. The drop down box seems to be keeping a history of who has been in the room and also repeats names.

Yes i have a hi-res screen grab if you need it.

Saucy, you might need to clear your cache to revert to the old style sheet.

If that doesn't work, it means Gav is working on the fixes.

Gotcha, thank you Big Hugs

the red bar overlap is a serious issue. I can't get to the top option to reload a profile, and I can't get to the tabs in my mailbox.

Looks like we're in for a nasty spell of wether.

How can I get to my mail to select the tab "Requests" I can see and read my mail but the other tabs, including requests is hiding under the red bar and I cannot access.
Also, all my information such as online, number of active friends, mail etc. does not show unless I am only logged into one friend on his profile and no other friend does it show for.

Please your assistance is greatly appreciated.

I cannot see any of the options under my messages...inbox, requests, etc. I just got an email, it must have been a request, but can't see it. All of my mail is white on white...barely readable until i click on it, then it turns black. Tried to add a screen cap but can't figure out how.

Update...so it looks like my messages screen, aside from being white, is jammed up so that the "compose" button and other things on that line are just under the red bar...so all of the categories (inbox, requests, chat, online, etc) are hidden.

Vanessa, if you are on a desktop/laptop try reducing the size of the window - at 1186 pixels wide, I got the responsive site view, but also the message tabs too.
I have reported this to Gav.

Note, if you have checked the box to disable the responsive site, per Nicola's sticky, it will not change layout no matter how bit or small your window.

If you are using Android or Apple, I have no idea, sorry.

The change avatar setting has disappeared.

And in the settings section on a laptop (style sheet turned off or on in the settings), the menus are squished right up the top next to our red header bar:

While I think about it, the order for all the different options doesn't seem so intuitive. The bulk of our members aren't authors, but "copyright information" is the first link you can click.

15 Apr 2020

It's all style sheets and nothing has been removed permanently. Everything can be fixed!

We had a group of 20 odd people beta test the new design and clearly there are areas on the site which a lot of people use more frequently than our merry group of testers!

As far as I know, the main areas of the site - the stories, categories and homepage, are all working perfectly. Yay!

It's up to our resident code guru (and his helper!), to fix up the rest of the issues as soon as he's able.

Rest assured, they are on the case.

Please give as many details as you can when reporting problems. Screenshots as well if you can. It really helps to narrow down where the issues are occurring.

While it is true most people here may not be writers so aren't interested in the 'Copyright Information', I notice that all the categories are listed in alphabetical order running horizontal. I can see this as an advantage over having the groups listed in some kind of random order. This would also help if at some future date, another category is added, it could be placed in with the other items with a similar first letter. For example, if a person was looking for the 'Story History' group, they could instantly jump to the 'S's', without having to scan through everything else.

Poor Gav must be pulling his hair out trying to work his way through all the problems that go along with creating and installing a new computer program. I think everyone should take a moment and let him know how much we appreciate his work. salute

If you're feeling bored during this Covid-19 epidemic I’d like to suggest
you take a peek at a story I collaborated with SueBrasil, a brilliant author.
It's about a mistake in judgment a lady makes concerning a friend, based
on the hurtful words of someone that only thinks of himself. Will that
conniving person succeed in ruining a beautiful friendship, or will she see
through his lies? It's gradually creeping up towards the 30,000 mark
and we’d love any votes or hearing whatever comments you may wish
to make. It is listed in my profile under ‘FAVOURITES’ as Apologize.

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?

what tick box?

If you place your pointer over an avatar a dotted line square appears around that and top left there is a small box for checking/unchecking.

Has that not always been there?

I think it's for selecting multiple people and then there's a 'delete selected' button at the bottom.

The purge, lol.

Hi, not sure if this was logged already but in the messages section, I can't access chat history or online messages.

By the way, I think the new mobile version is great and thanks for all the hard work put in ?

I’m having a problem with chat. The area with actions/emojis is squashed and I can’t add text unless I’m two or three lines down the text box. I’m on an iPad

On my laptop in Messages, there are no tabs for the various message types (inbox, sent, online, etc.)

However, if I CTRL/SCROLL my mouse to increase magnification, at 150% the display jumps to the new layout and the tabs are visible.

The new format is OK on my phone, but I don't want the display to change on my laptop.
So I went into settings and toggled 'disable stylesheet on mobile device'.

Now when I increase magnification the style sheet doesn't usurp my display, but I can't see the messages tabs at any magnification.
But what I DO get is ghost rollovers for Home, Profile, Forum, Chatrooms, etc on the first line below the banner.

15 Apr 2020

When I go into my mailbox, the various tabs for inbox/chat/online isn’t visible unless you pull the screen down but I can’t navigate between them.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Mobile or Laptop/Desktop?

On my phone, it is on the new layout and seems to be ok.

On my laptop I have to either reduce the width of the window
Or as dlcalguy suggests increase the zoom (CTRL++). This forces the new layout on the mail box and brings the tabs back.
This will NOT work if you have checked the box to disable the new style (see Nicola's sticky).

I've fired a message to Gav, but as an Aussie, he's probably got his head on the pillow still.

True!

Give it a few hours, he's quite the insomniac.

I think his work plate will be full over the coming days. Please give him a chance to rectify things over the next week.

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

As Nicola demonstrated previously, go to your site settings, click off on the box that says Disable responsive mobile site, and yours will return to the previous 'classic' Lush site. If that's what you wish to do.

That is working for me on my phone.

Please take care of that sweet guy who is now standing in front of a firing squad. Do NOT remove the helmet, I’m sure he’s completely bald by now! We all need to be patient.

Haven’t seen anyone mention this - my fonts are very tiny on my Ipad and Laptop.
