Especially stories that have cover images. I can't upload one either. It won't save as draft or submit.

At the moment, I'm frustrated and if Lush would submit, I'd spank it's fucking ass until it's RAW!

Congrats to Saucy, Jaymal and VV for taking the top 3 places. Excellent work by you three. I'm especially pleased to see VV in amongst the prizes. I really am 😁😁😁

So pleased for everyone in the top 10 too and chuffed that I qualified with my modest offering.

I wonder what the next topic is going to be about...🥴

The government taxes beer.
Advantage: Pussy.

In Texas, paying for pussy is NOw a FELONY... advantage Beer!!!

Well, now I'm confused. Where the fuck do people buy cats from? Do they have to go across the border and then maybe disguise it as a dog to bring it back. Jeez. That's weird right!!! 😉

I'll have a beer to be on the safe side, Rumps.

Don't want to get caught up in any pussy hustling.

No, fuck, give me water, let's play it really safe 😁😁😁

I always find it's raining outside when you need a much earned drink. But I'll have to forgo the whisky or brandy abs even the beer.

Lemsip please barman.

Only popped into day thanks to James for his weekly digest in between sneezes. Aren't you lot lucky there's a glass screen between you and me.

James, excellent idea to post people's stories because of lack of notifications. I'm trying my best to keep up every now and then.

I've had a hard day...I know, what a stupid innuendo...but hey, I'd like a whisky please and a big hello to everyone in the pub, especially Rumps.....😜😜😜

Particular congratulations to Tamara, WW, and Kimmi for taking home all that lovely cash.

I am honoured to be amongst the top ten of course but congratulations to everyone that entered, there was an abundance of good work as there always is. So, very good to be propping up deviantsusie....and before she asks...no it's not my hand! 🤣🤣🤣

I've already ordered my whisky Tamara.

No unfortunately no one knows I write on Lush. I say unfortunately because I'd like one friend to know and I'd like the wife to know too, but it's been a long time now.

I have written and shared erotica with my wife before, so she knows I can write this stuff, but that was before I found Lush. When I started publishing I hid the fact that I did it and I don't know why.

So this is my pleasure and it has allowed me to spread my wings in different forms of erotica that I wouldn't have ordinarily done. 

That's fascinating research Annie, well done for compiling this. So many different authors, though some did occur more than a few times, so well done to them.  I feel honoured to have taken the first place in Femdom...A sign that I must write more in this category perhaps. 😁

I think the publishing side of stories still has bugs. I successfully posted a story from my saved stories today and I've just noticed that the parts that were in italics (as posted from Lush v1) are no longer in italics when the story is now published. The formatting has been stripped, but it was there before I pressed the submit button.

Hiya, there is currently an issue with stories saved as draft. They're not being submitted unfortunately. If you can copy and paste the story into s new submission, and submit immediately rather than save as a draft, that should work

I'm not doing that - there's enough italics in that story and the current editor is stripping out all formatting. I'm not going through it all putting it all back in. 

Thanks for letting me know anyway.

Could fixing that editor be top priority please. It seems it's essential.

This should now be fixed. Can you check when you get a chance and let me know? Thanks :)

Hi Jen,

I just logged on and checked. I copied a word document that had normal, italic, bold, underline, left, centre and right and full justification into the Story editor and everything came out as left justified normal text. So not fixed yet I'm afraid. It may take a while to trickle through?!

Submitting saved stories is now WORKING!!!!!! YAY!

I submitted it and it appeared half way down my list of published stories - seems it went into a position for 9 Aug when I uploaded it to Lush V1. It has the blue banner for Story Pending. But they are moved from unpublished to published - it really needs to come out on the top though. So hopefully the mods will adjust the date that it is currently showing. 

Thanks you.

I can't seem to publish a story that was migrated from the old site. It was waiting to be published and I've found the story, clicked on it, edited it so that I can see the publish button, I've also added a picture (from my file system - thanks). Submitted it. A popup appears telling me the story has been submitted and the blue banner at the top says that the story is currently in draft.

When I tab onto the Published stories - it is not there. When I go back to unpublished - it is there.

I was expecting a blue banner saying it was being verified in the published stories area - but nothing there. I tried six or seven times. 

Is this a bug? or is there a way to do this properly.

Well done Jaymal, Ensorceled and Jen and the rest of the Top 10. There were a lot of entries in that one and you shone above them all. 

If there's a mega competition coming up then please fix the story publishing editor....please.

Did you know that anyone can select the words of anyone's story and cut and paste them into word and then modify them. I think this is a huge bug that should be addressed very soon.

I think there are groups that are missing from this new Lush v2. I recently joined a group on Lush v1 called Amateur erotica. I've tried searching for it and can't find it. I would appreciate if someone could check that out for me, please.

I went to your profile and clicked the Navigation tab then clicked on Groups (if you are using the desktop version then you'll have the Groups showing on your profile). When I clicked on Groups I scrolled down the list of groups you've joined. I found Amateur erotica at the bottom.   

Thanks

You can’t search by the members name anymore.

How do we get rid of seeing peoples footers?  Not interested in seeing those.

We don’t have a list of the moderators and admin team anymore.  Will we be able to see that?

Hugs,

Mysteria

I just emailed a support ticket due to functionality in the story editor. I used to be able to paste word documents into it and all the formatting was preserved. The new editor strips italics and centre formatted text, it probably strips everything from word but I haven't tried everything.

Any ideas when this can be fixed. It's stopping me putting stories into Lush at the moment, not a big deal - probably for the best really, but I'm not reformatting it all again. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't because there is no centre format icon.

"It's on the list and we have looked at it but it's not a simple thing to implement. It could be several months before we can find a workaround, Admin"

This post may be a bit late but if anyone is interested in that TIMELINE on this new website then I think I've managed to replicate it (sort of). 

Click on your icon and select My Comments. A new page will open. Unfortunately it always opens with the filter set to All, but if you select the Comment Type you can set it to Story. Set the Show box to Comments and Likes. Clicking on Filter then shows you all the comments made on your stories (including your own). You can even reply to them from that page.

Hope this helps anyone that has been trying to find this functionality. It's a pain that it always defaults back to All though, I'm sure it'll be fixed.

Can I now have a beer please. Because I'm exhausted getting up to speed with this new site. Every thing I seem to click on generates a new question in my head!?
