On my iPad (1st gen), the close button on the online message is too small. I have to zoom right in to close it so enlarging this would be awesome. I assume this is the same for all touch devices. I can only imagine how small it is on hi-dpi devices. Maybe adding a css media query to enlarge for touch devices would solve the problem e.g.

@media only screen and (max-device-width:1024px){
.touch .message .close{
width:80px;
height:80px;
}
}

Of course you'd need to have modernizr plugged in to get the .touch class


Yay, a coder. You're hired!

Gav has something like 6 months of coding backlog to get through. How's your asp.net, c++, java, and do you work for compliments alone?

Haha, I'm strictly a front end designer. Not great with what you listed. I would love to work for compliments but I also have about 6 months of a backlog sad if i spot anything or have any suggestions I'll let you know though.

One Improvement Or Feature I'm Sure Would Be Good Is: Verified Identity!

explain.

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.

Tough to implement globally and would prove quite unpopular amongst many casual users.

Systems like that used by NetIDme require a home address along with a passport or driving license number - the sort of information people wouldn't like to give just to have a little fun on lush.

If Lush was a dating site, where the express intention is to meet up with people then this might be advisable to add an extra layer of safety but for stories and a bit of chat it seems a bit OTT.

If symptoms persist, consult a psychiatrist.

Why not read some stories instead

oh, that again? we had a discussion about that about a month or so back. not going to happen here. as OMKN says, it's NOT a dating or a hook up site. it's primarily an erotic story site. we are not about to put our resources into IDing 180,000 plus members when we have 30 plus new stories to verify on a daily basis.

If it were to be implemented it would have to be purely on an opt-in basis and would need to be managed by a third party unless you want to get involved in a load of Data Protection crap from all jurisdictions of the globe.

Chat sites I've seen that use this put the emphasis on the user to sign up for it - they also charge users for the pleasure of using it. Maybe a useful extra revenue stream for the site from people who feel the need to prove who they are.

sounds like another ball in the air when we're already juggling 5 of them. quite frankly, as i said, we had the discussion, not going to happen. if someone wants to ask someone else to verify their ID, that's between them - the site isn't going to get involved. as i said, this is primarily an erotic story site, not a cyber or dating service. smile

Damn, I want a job like that. I'd love to sit around and ogle you Sprite!
I want to say thank you to one and all for upgrading the servers and fixing the service interruptions. Well done and thank you!
Well here is one thing i want to point out , i don't know if anyone else had already pointed it out or not .
Well the thing is with the "online message"

There are 3 issues with it :

1) Right after pressing the enter button , when the messages is being send , that whole container becomes transparent and shows that the message is being sent but the problem is even while sending "We can still write message in it ".

well the possible solution is to just make that textbox or the complete division box disabled right after pressing enter

2) This is while receiving the messages , suppose that i am talking with my friend and they sends me like 10 messages and if the messages are out of the screen , then there is no way to scroll among them.

3) The "Close all" button which is to close all the message boxes at once but "Its only in the first message box" and if that message box goes out of the screen, we have to first manually close the other message boxes and then when the "First one" appears back in the screen then we can click the close all button to close them all.

possible solution : please put all those incoming messages into a separate division or container or a "Pane" like container which has a scroll bar and with a z-index higher than that of ur page so that it does not messes with the other components & please provide a single close all button on the top of this new "pane" container

I appreciate ur work , this website is really a great one. so just giving my view to make it much better ^^

lol - just so you know, that's really the only benefit you'll get out of it - and the pay is crappy too ;)

...on the other hand, I.D. verification might prove a Gav-sent blessing for those Lushers suffering through an identity crises.

With that as a benefit who would need to be paid.
i'd like to be able to auto sort my friends list by last activity date!
I know other people like it, but is there a way to opt out of the navigation bar sticking at the top of the page when I scroll down, please? It's driving me nuts, and I don't even have any nuts. It's not an improvement for me for it to stay there. Thank you.

I wonder if people write in to the likes of Facebook and ask them if they can have the option for their header bar to remain at the top, or scroll with the page?

Gav is so backlogged with essential site maintenance and adding features (which have already been delayed for over 6 months as it is), I'm wondering if we should suspend this thread for the time being.

Sorry I did what you suggested, and said what I would like added. I won't do it any more.

Alternatively, if you don't like black boxes, which some don't, but they are a means to an end, you can always start an online chat, which has chat history, a scroll bar, shortcuts to emoticons and opens in a new tab. Nifty, eh?

Wait.... Sweet_as_candy is gonna crush me?? .... wait... actually, that could be fun!!
The story editor does not allow you to remove a rejected story from a contest. I had to copy it out, and resubmit it without checking the checkbox. I would have preferred to simply uncheck it. I apologize for the extra verifier work that created, but I decided that I didn't want to submit a sanitized story to a contest and wasn't given another option besides delete it.
My latest story is too hot to publish. My most recent story before that is Even Stranger In Lust
New here. I have trouble pushing the word limit.
I use the word counter in MS Word, but it's accuracy is --- well, you know.
I've not been able to find a word counter on the submission page.
Am I missing it or is it a possible addition worth considering?

A category called "Erotic Poems" because "Love Poems" doesn't exactly fit sometimes. Or should we submit themed erotic poems to the specific category? I thought they might just be for stories. Thank you.

Well , i am not saying that i do not like it , as a matter of fact I prefer those black boxes to chat . They are small and really handy when I am reading a story on lush which i do a lot. So for me those black boxes are more comfortable but since it needs a little fix which "I" think , after that it will be more easy to work with ^^
