I can no longer save to my media file because I have exceeded the newly imposed limit.

You state: This does not affect media that is added using the 'External' option to messages, forum threads, group posts, etc. since they are not saved in your media center.

I have tried to copy image addresses from external sites and post them, but inevitably they do not post or disappear within 24 hours. That's why I gave up this method and put anything I wished to share in the groups or post on friends' walls in my media folder.

Since I can't upgrade (and there was no option given to purchase additional storage, not to mention tossing out over 10,000 photos to get back under the new limit, just wasn't worth the effort), I purchased another Platinum account and reinstated my original Lush name Hubby77.

Personally, I downsize any large photos before I post them to 1200 pixels wide. This reduces the data required to store the image, and they fill out the group and wall posts nicely.

Here is a thought. Put limits on video size and limit gifs to 10 MB. I would also suggest, instead of limiting media by the number of items I.E. 250, 1000, 10,000, using data limits because there is a huge difference in storage between 10,000 photos and 10,000 videos!

I post in many Groups and sometimes comment on media on member profile pages. I regularly get two to three hundred notifications a day to wade through. I have come to understand that if a member likes or comments on a post, the notification will take you to that post and or comment. However, if you have commented in a member's media folders on their profile page, the notification disappears, as you say. I also find this a bit useless and don't see any reason why the super high-tech AI platform can't direct us back to the comment or interaction so we can see the reply. Regardless of who, what, where or why!

Photos are unlinked from the posted image address which is still shown on the posting. Is Lush currently experiencing technical problems that are affecting the photos posted to group pages?

The likes do not stay selected either, but that has been an ongoing issue.

We are Lush friends, but his membership has laps?

I would like to help out a friend by gifting a membership, but his profile page doesn't display the gift symbol? Is there another option or way to gift a membership?

I just found this forum post, so I'm a little late to the party, and I see the viewpoints have been thoroughly explored. But I'll throw in my two pennies anyway!

Yes, our words affect people. That is why we put pen to paper and write them down. We have every intention of constructing images and ideas in a reader's mind. Whether we are trying to convey a touching love story or a depraved, mentally unstable blackmailing bitch! But like my dear departed father used to say, "Son, you can't please everyone!"

I understand feeling responsible for what we portray in our writing. I have published stories that delve into some very uncomfortable situations, and I had a lot of reservations about how it might affect some readers. That being said, I believe censorship is a slippery slope, and it is ultimately up to the reader to decide if the content is acceptable in their worldview.

I think the big issue is how we, as writers, keep our surprises and twists close to our vest, yet warn those who might be offended by what is in our story.

Keep that ink flowing, Mistress, Kimmi Sue.
