Is anybody else having issues with pasting the story text into a new submission? I just tried numerous times, and I'm having no luck. I tried all three paste buttons, and the text pastes into the paste window, but then when I hit "Ok", nothing gets transferred to the submission form.
Backed out, restarted the submission from scratch. No dice. Closed the browser and tried again. No dice. Tried a different browser. No dice.
ETA: Tried yet another browser, as well as rebooting my system. I've pretty much eliminated everything I can think of on my end. The last browser I tried has never been on Lush before, so there certainly can't be any cookie or cache issues causing it.
I just tested pasting text from a word document into a new submission box using the first paste button. It worked for me even when I clicked on continue at the bottom of the page then save draft. Have you checked your browser setting for the Lush website in the address bar regarding site permissions? That's what usually gives me problems on websites.

that's the only way i ever do it and i've never had an issue.
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.
Worked fine when I submitted my comp entry a couple weeks ago. Haven't used it since, though, but I don't recall any changes to submissions being announced.
I copied and pasted from a PDF into the submission panel last night. No problems for me.
Okay, this is getting weird.
It appears it's only this one story that's a problem. I tried pasting the text from an older story, and no problem. So, I copied the text from a WIP, saved it in Word, and no problem. No matter what I do with this particular story, it will not paste from Word under any circumstances. So, I deleted the old Word version, assuming it must be corrupt. I copied the text from the original Wordperfect document, saved it anew in Word, and... Still doesn't work.
I can paste from Wordperfect and Wordpad, but the same document saved in Word results in the paste box refusing to transfer to the submission form.
I'm frikkin' baffled.
I guess I'll just paste this one from Wordperfect and put in the italics manually as I had to do before I figured out the workaround that let me get back to 1-step submissions. :: Shrug :: Maybe I shouldn't submit this one at all. Something seems to be screaming at me from the void.
Considering it got an RR and so much praise, I'm glad I decided to defy the frustration and go ahead with this one. LOL
