I'd like to be able to see the subjects that I've commented on in the forum. By the time I log back on and check the forum tab for what forums my friends have commented on, often they aren't the same ones I did. And, well.... I guess it's senility but I forget the header and have to search for it line by line. If there already is a way to do this and I haven't figured it out yet.. my apologies.

Hahaha I second this. Also new forum posters.
I have never seen a new forum poster be treated with anything but respect, unless said member has done something that does not comply with the site rules.
Or if the member said something not so smart But I was just having a laugh. Maybe not the best thread to talk about this.

If you scroll down on your own profile page, you'll see a list of recent forum posts including the link to it, and the text of your post. If you use tabbed browsing, you can keep your profile page open and right click on the link to the forum post, to get to it. That way you should see most of the topics you've posted on. I just checked your profile page, and you have ten forum threads listed, going back to the 26th of November.
Quote by sandyjackirl first time writers should be treated better
I don't think there is anything related to the site in the way it treats first time writers...I think it's often a reflection of first time author's writing skills, which should improve over time...
I remember when I posted my first story...it got a 3.5, which is about "average" and no comments for months...
My advice to "first time" writers is to keep writing...then you can become a "second time" writer...
On another note...and keeping "on topic"...is anyone else having issues changing the order of their stories?
They appear in correct order when I arrange them in "My Stories"...but, when I go to my profile, they seem to mysteriously rearrange themselves...
Quote by Bunny12 Here's a change I'd like to see disappear quick the new line of adds on the top of your profile page!!! I DO NOT want to see "GET A HUGE COCK" or "FUCK LOCAL BABES" in nice bright red or any other color at the top of my profile page EVER!!!!! Do away with this immediately PLEASE!!!
Hey Bunny...I could swear I saw a text ad that said Cute Guys With Tight Butts Looking For Dominatrix With Big Strap-on...
I was going to send it to you, but Nicola took down the ads...
Quote by SweetPenny When two members write a story together, is it possible to give both of them credit instead of just one?
We approached this subject a while ago, it's not possible for technical reasons.
The best we can do is at the top of the story you add a line that it was cowritten by xyz member. If you write another one together, swap, so the second story is submitted by xyz member etc. It should work out fairly even that way.
I would love to have the option to have two image galleries... one public and one private. As it is now, I have mine set to private because I have personal pics in there and prefer to remain low-profile (well... visually at least).
I have a collection of erotic images I'd love to share/add to my image gallery but I would prefer to have them set to public view. I also don't them intermixed with pics of myself so I don't have to keep specifying which pics are of me, and which pics are just images I like.
If it's not possible to have two distinct image galleries, then perhaps an option would be available when we upload them as to whether they are set to public or private (e. friends only) view?
Not sure if any of this is possible, but it's Christmas, and I figured I'd verbalize my wish list.
Thanks in advance for considering it, Santa... Oops, I mean Gav!
Good post Dancing Doll. Gav is looking into managing the whole image galleries a lot better, it's on his to-do list.
As you say, it would be nice to be able to create a gallery, set it to public or private, and be able to add any pictures you wish to any of the existing galleries. That's how FB do it I believe.

Yay! X-mas dreams really do come true! You guys are awesome!
Ooh, one more thought (I guess I can be a bit demanding at Xmas time.. )
Is there any chance it would be possible to have "wall posts" with a scroll up or down feature, so we don't lose everything that's been posted once we run out of space? I know it only allows for a certain number of posts to be displayed on our profiles, and the earlier ones disappear into the "wall post vortex."
Anyway, no big deal either way... just thought it would be a 'nice to have.'
Or did you mean keep them all on the same page, with a scrollable viewport?
Santa is working on your gallery feature as we speak. I'm going to roll in another feature from lusciouslola at the same time, a slide show of your gallery images. Now the computer scrolls your pictures for you, you have two hands free for

Wow, you really do think of everything! LOL
Actually, I didn't notice the "older comments" tab (but I'm blonde, so...). It would be cool to be able to keep them all on the same page with a scrollable viewport, but no rush on that one. I'm just happy I learned something new today!
Hey Gav...I know it's the holidays and all, and I really feel bad that I might have to make you work too hard...but, something occured to me that may be missing on Lush...
On my profile page when logged in, I can see my friend's votes/comments, but I don't see any way I can view my own...the only way I know is to log out and view my page...
If there was a way to view all of my past votes/comments, it would be a lot easier for me to recall which stories I've read, and where I might have left off with a certain author...
Commenting is the only way I can remember if I've read a story before...
Hey, it gets tough when you get old...you understand, don't you???
On another forum I visit, when you enter a particular area like the Think Tank, each thread has an arrow next to the title. When you click on that arrow, it automatically takes you to the last post you've read. That would be a cool feature to have here.
Speaking of forum visits...would there be a way to add a section of "favorite forum threads" or something similar?
Here's the deal...sometimes I see a forum post and I want to go back and visit it again, but forget whether it is in "The Pub" or "The Lounge" or somewhere else...
If it is a topic I posted on, I can just look back at my post history...but, sometimes it is not...just something I want to view...
Any possibilities here?

See the little green arrow way over on the rhs of this image? Try pressing it in the forums
Similar to DirtyMartini's comment, I would love to see the links on my news feed concerning friends' forum posts connect to the post, or at least the page of the post, rather than the first page of the thread they post on. It would just make it a little easier to check out posts that they make, specifically when there is an active debate in the think tank.
I think you do a fantastic job of maintaining a free website dedicated to erotic writing (aka porn). However, just like our writing there is always room for improvement and I haven't read through all the posts here so please forgive me if there is something repeating.
In regards to authors and writing:
1. Have a more extensive way to review and rate stories. What I mean is that currently there are stars but among the authors I've spoken to this is often not even regarded as accurate. We all know that an story, for example, will get 4 to 50 times the rating that an extremely well written and extremely erotic story will get. It seems if there was a way to have reviewers of stories that are both "professional" and then "user reviews" like movies.
Also have different ways for people to review a story. So maybe there is a basic option like you have now but also an advanced option where you can rate the story, the character development, the erotic hotness, the author's use of plot, etc. That way when you filtering stories, it makes it easier to find certain stories...like those with a good plot and also ratings start to have more meaning to an author and help them improve their writing ability.
2. Have a way for people to list "favorites" of stories. That way, if I trust another person's tastes, it makes it easier for me to find other stories that I may like and that way I can weed through the millions of stories that are probably not my cup of tea.
For the site:
Have groups that users can join with their own message board. There is another adult website that does this and I've found it extremely well done and useful. It allows you to share posts and images about topics related to that group. So a group could be writers of stories with plots and character development. Then we could pick out stories that we think have plots and character development and share them. This would help some stories that are well written have a longer shelf life and keep them from getting completely buried under all the stories.
One last thing would be adding more functionality to following people and authors. So for example, if I'm following 10 authors, when they post new stories I would get a little list on my account page that would show me all the latest stories they've written. So in effect allowing me to create my own personal Lush homepage of stories. Also, I could go to their own favs page and see the list of authors they are following and start to make even more connections. This would allow for serious and strong writers to start to connect more easily and allow for more serious writing to shine above...yes...the stories.
Just had to get one last stab in there about the stories.
But honestly, for a free site. Amazing. Nothing else like it on the web.

Thanks Nicola...sometimes I just don't think of the obvious...
The bigger the forum gets, the more good threads from the past get "burried"...if you know what I mean...
I was very concerned when my first and best friend on Lush stories disappeared from my profile page . I have accepted some newer friends who never write to say why or communicate with me , if anything they should disappear . It would be nice to be able to select who are our top friends , always to be shown .
I too should like to be able to save a chat text , even though it amounts to nothing much , one can remember what each person said for a future conversation .
I am rather shy about chatting and as an older person , know that the mostly young want to chat with people nearer their own age . I have brought up my own children as a single parent and been in Loco Parentis to another family . I love young people and easily identify with them . It is beautiful that as more or less anonymous people , scattered around the world , on Lush Stories age doesn't seem to matter .

Love it. Lush it.
Thanks for the kind words. The "groups" feature is actually already in the works
But I was just having a laugh. Maybe not the best thread to talk about this.
