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.

Quote by DarkSideQuote by JenQuote by DarkSideThis should now be fixed. Can you check when you get a chance and let me know? Thanks :)Quote by JenI'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.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
Thanks for letting me know anyway.
Could fixing that editor be top priority please. It seems it's essential.
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 But they are moved from unpublished to published - it really needs to come out on the top though.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.

Quote by JenI'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.Quote by DarkSideI 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 When I go back to unpublished - it is there.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.

Quote by TheSensualLadyThat's where I've been going wrong. I went to Groups on the main tabs and searched for it. The search didn't come up with anything. I shall have a look to see if it's in my navigation panel and whether it works.Quote by DarkSideI 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.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.
Thanks

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?

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.

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!?

Another competition so soon...Nicola, you're running me into the ground.
I will enter this one, I've written a piece already. Then I put it away and rewritten about a fifth of it. If I put it away again I may rewrite about a tenth and so on, and so on.
I think I'll do a new one. But not until I grab a beer if I may and while I'm here can I get Kasia one as well. I'm hoping the bribery will open the minibar for Verity.

That's it, I'm taking them to court over that - don't they know my name is copyright. They're not the only one using it, apparently there's a Cyber Crime unit dragging my name into the gutter as well. Hang on, what do you mean I'm always in the gutter?
Anyway, thanks for bringing it to my attention, James, but before I get mixed up in legal matters - any chance of a coffee please with a couple of cubes of brown sugar and warm milk - preferably with one of those nice biscuits on the side. A nice large one would be lovely.
Coffee is the best thing for me at the moment. have to keep myself awake for those After Dark sessions with the neighbor's daughter.
I have to admit, I'm glad somebody had the forethought to clean the coffee machine out. That's normally left to the faery's in my house.

Congratulations to the Podium Winners. I predicted you three would be on the podium and wasn't surprised to see you there. I did have a slightly different order though.
Well Done WannabeWordsmith, Jaymal and Tams_back_yay.
Well deserved. I'm doing my best to catch you lot up, but like Lewis Hamilton, I need to bump a few of you out of the race first to have a chance. And well done to all the runner ups and entrants. This was an unusual competition for me because I wasn't going to enter.
Thanks to Nicola and all the mods for putting up all these first-class entries though. Great team effort.

Sorry, but I'd like to go back to the time of coal forests and then the time of the dinosaurs. I'd love to see them for real.
And if anyone says I'm already in the time of the dinosaurs because I'm so old, then I'll send the boys 'round.
On the way back from that trip drop me off in 1992 or thereabouts.

18th-century dresses had capacious pockets, Luca. Handy for stowing useful household objects and a mobile phone...
And there was me thinking they used to write tiny words onto tiny pieces of paper and then let them flutter to the floor for the person they wanted to TEXT to pick it up as they followed behind!
Out would come the eyeglass and a smile would appear on their faces.
Of course, the next text would then take a day or so.

It's mid afternoon over here at the moment and this pub is still open. I'd love to have one of Kimmi's donuts with a coffee as I congratulate her on her recent success. Well done you! Yer a pwoper riter now.
I'm still struggling to make ends meet, money is tight and the kids have to go without food and all because the scores are low. I don't know what's happening with the world.
I hope everyone is C free, or if not, have all got over it and are feeling much better. I'd recommend the beer in here - it kills all known germs (and viruses) - DEAD! And that's a good thing.
Hope your all lined up for a fun day and night - we'll be having a BBQ tonight - first of the year! The steak will be sizzling, the beer flowing, the chicken browning and the sausages burning. Just me of course, everyone else is 2m away.

I don't know whether anyone else has asked for this in the past, but can we have more flexibility in the way the "My Stories" are presented for a logged on user.
I'm thinking of filtering it so that I can see the unpublished ones only. Every time I go onto that page I have to scroll through 300+ stories to get to the ones that I have uploaded that are ready to be published. They are always at the bottom. Sometimes this is a pain on a smartphone.
I'd also like to see just the ones in a particular category while on this page, because often I have written something and would like to check what was in a similar story but I have to wade through them all looking for the one I think it is. I have done this so many times.
Maybe also filter by year of submission or month if possible. Even the option to show all stories that are RRs, or have 30k view tags, or stories that have more than x comments or more than y scores.
I would like to have that functionality on the My Stories page if possible.
Thank you for listening.

A huge congratulations to the three podium winners, Tamara, Jake and Mags. Well deserved, I did comment on Tamara's entry when I read it and said it was a sure podium spot - I was right.
Congratulations to all the top 10 entries too and a huge congratulations to all that entered - it was full of fun-filled and debauched entries - that's for sure.
A big round of applause for the judges - it couldn't have been easy. I guess it never is.
I am truly honoured to be among one of the ten runners up. Thank you so very much.

I have just tried to publish a Flash story. the word count on the editor indicated that the story was 1000 words. Yet, when I came to hit the publish button, I was informed that the story was 1008 words long. I had to remove 8 words which brought the total in the editor to 991 before it was accepted.
The funny thing is, I also added the story as a series, not a chapter series, but one that I wanted linked as being part of a grouped story. The title of that was 8 words.
I don't know whether that was the cause of the problem, but is the system counting the series title as part of the word count? Should it?
Thanks for listening.

I couldn't help myself on this one. I had to...
----------
In shock, I dropped my spoon into the fruit loops. They scattered everywhere. Jeremy's sudden entrance in his gold banana hammock shouting TaDa had flummoxed me.
On noticing the wooden ruler in his hand, my knickers were off, my kitty bare and I was pleading with him to spank it.
