One thing they did: there is a character named Julia who refers to herself as Julie at one point. They changed that back to Julia. Oh well, that's life.

Almost certainly the moderator that made that change thought they were correcting a mistake for you. We see stories all the time where the writer has changed a character name prior to submitting it and has missed an instance or two in the text.

You're very welcome to edit it back if you wish. You can do this in your Stories List. smile

I was just thinking about starting a thread for recommending YouTube channels then I found this one. smile

One of my favourite channels at the moment is Baumgartner Restoration. It's run by a Chicago based fine art restorer named Julian Baumgartner and shows you in-depth the tools, methods, and theory of art conservation.

Sir Sean Connery has died at the age of 90, his family has said.

The Scottish actor was best known for his portrayal of James Bond, being the first to bring the role to the big screen and appearing in seven of the spy thrillers.

Sir Sean died peacefully in his sleep, while in the Bahamas, having been "unwell for some time", his son said.

His acting career spanned five decades and he won an Oscar in 1988 for his role in The Untouchables.

Sir Sean's other films included The Hunt for Red October, Highlander, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and The Rock.

Jason Connery said his father "had many of his family who could be in the Bahamas around him" when he died overnight in Nassau.

He said: "We are all working at understanding this huge event as it only happened so recently, even though my dad has been unwell for some time.

"A sad day for all who knew and loved my dad and a sad loss for all people around the world who enjoyed the wonderful gift he had as an actor."

Thanks Roger! One pic has got through although nothing has been changed. What you say is possible. Have a great day! Peter

Looking at your profile, the last picture posted on there from a friend was March 2018.

For us to advise further you'd have to be a little more specific about how your friends are not able to post pictures. For example, is the option simply not there?

I have been overseas.
Do I owe any fees?
Friends tell me they can't post pictures on my profile.

(Hope I get Impure Thoughts - never get tired of that avatar!)

Hi,

Your Bronze Membership doesn't expire for another six months, so you don't owe anything. If friends are having trouble posting on your wall but no one else's, then you might want to check your account settings. In the 'Settings and Privacy' section, there's an option to 'Disable and hide comments on your profile page'.

It looks to me like you might have this ticked.

Looks like it's time for Sprite's 'medicine'.

Okey dokey...

Brown sauce is a savoury condiment popular in the UK. It's made from ingredients like tomatoes, molasses, spices, and vinegar. It's got a spicy and tangy taste kinda similar to Worcestershire sauce.

It's particularly good on English breakfast items like bacon and sausages.

The most popular brand is 'HP' which is short for Houses of Parliament.

*Shakes fist* No! Brown Sauce!

Wait, have we had this debate, lol?

I was trying to avoid the 'muricans saying, "What's brown sauce?"

Now you've done it. isjda

bacon is murder.

But slapped between a couple of pieces of bread and smothered in ketchup it tastes delicious.

There was a pretty tense discussion once about how crispy bacon should be.

EDIT: And I just tested it to confirm by posting a Microfiction story. It appears third on the category page, even though it's the most recent story, because others have a display date in the future.

Okay, so the simple fix for Gav would be for the story display date to apply to both the front page and the category pages?

22 Oct 2020

Quote by clum
I think it is dynamic (hard for us to check because we're in the same time zone).

I think the problem is that the "display date" refers to when it will appear on the front page (whichever tab), but that it goes straight to the category page regardless. Then the story retains a high position in the ordering because its display date is actually in the future.

In this instance, kistinspencil's story could never have gone to the top of that page.

I'm getting confused. Are you saying a story will sit at the top of a category page until it gets displayed on the front page? I'm not sure that's true. If it were, other stories would leapfrog it down in the list and I don't think I've ever seen that.

Quote by clum
No, sorry, confused myself. But the first two shouldn't be displayed at all yet.

I've always assumed the timestamps used in the story logs (where I copied that info from) just use a preset timezone or a server time. Maybe Gav has it set to the time zone he lives in?

If it was dynamic, it would display differently for each moderator based on the timezone setting on their account.

By what you've just said, those three stories would be in the completely wrong order.

Why would they be? Newest at the top of the page.

22 Oct 2020

As I understand it...

Every story has three dates:

1 - Submission/Added Date - When the story was submitted by the author for approval by a moderator.
2 - Verification Date - When the story was approved by a moderator.
3 - Display Date - When the story will appear on the site.

When an author submits several stories in a short space of time, the display date can often be several days after the verification date. This is because the Lush system will only allow one publication per author in a 24 hour period. The reason for this is to prevent people from flooding the story queue with stories and monopolising the front page.

On the individual category pages, stories are listed by order of display date. The date shown on the story itself is the submission/added date. I think that's where the confusion lies.

For example, the top spot on the Microfiction category at the moment is occupied by 'Harpaxophilia' by kiteares.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the report (Liz).

I think I've found the issue causing the mails to not move. Can you please try again for me.

Working perfectly for me now.

Thanks, Gav!

It does not work from the inbox.

If I go into the message itself and use the option from there the message will go into the selected folder.

So messages can only me moved into folders one by one from within the message.
Messages CANNOT be moved from the inbox (or other folder) by checking the box next to it. Therefore no mass moving of messages.
Deleting by checking the box still seems to be working.

The last time the multiple message move definitely worked for me was 1st October.

Most probably a bug then. I've tested it myself and get the same as you.

I've reported it to Gav. I'm sure he'll update this thread when he's had a chance to take a look.

1. Who are you (e.g. pen name, how you make a living etc)?

Liz. Web and Graphic Designer.

2. If you could host a dinner party for any five people (dead or alive), who would they be?

Martin Luther King Jr.
Jimi Hendrix
Oscar Wilde
Jesus Christ
My grandad

3. Riskiest place you’ve done it?

A poolside cabana of a hotel in Miami.

4. Best writing tip you’ve ever received?

Nothing makes a reader lose interest in a story faster than rubbish dialogue. Make it believable. The more authentic, the easier it will be for readers to become invested in the characters.

5. Which famous author does your writing most resemble?

I dunno. Most of my stories have an element of humour so someone funny?

6. Favourite story (and author) on Lush?

Not sure I have a specific story I'd say was my favourite. As for authors, Dancing_Doll and Frank_Lee are spectacularly good writers.

7. Any advice for new members of Lush?

Have fun! If you're not having fun, what's the point?

I have not received any email notifications for two days. What's up?

PM me your email address and I will send you an email from my Lush email address.

If it turns up then the issue is probably not related to the Lush mail server and is down to either notification settings or something else. If it doesn't turn up, then it could be down to something like a change made by your email provider.

Just out of interest, have you checked your junk folder?

Quote by Beffer
If the competition judges here all had degrees in English literature, I would concede that competition judging accurately reflected which were truly the best written stories, but since that level of objective and qualified critical decisions is absent, the risk of bias due to popularity of authors and other factors completely unrelated to writing skill calls into question the impartiality of the decisions. Also, since very few seem to know the actual mechanism of how judges are selected, and how many judges have actually read every single story entry, this too casts doubt in the minds of the authors whether or not the competition judging is even remotely fair.

There's no doubt if Usain Bolt crosses the finish line first, but literature is not as simple as who gets to the finish line first. So let's not equate the two races as if story judging was so cut and dried.

I have a degree in English literature. I judge competition entries on lots of factors:

- Character development
- Plot progression
- Originality / cliches
- Writing style
- Technical expertise
- Eroticism
- etc.

I also know that quite a few other judges do the same thing. Questioning the impartiality of the judging process because the entire panel may or may not meet your expectation of being 'academically qualified' is foolish and unrealistic. As for who is offered a position on the judging panel by Nicola, she has stated before that they are people she thinks would do a good job and have a demonstrated proficiency in writing. If you can write a good story, you can spot a good story.

For the record, each judge has their own butt. They do not share one collective butt.

Thank you. smile

Broken image links are usually the result of the original image being moved/removed and the URL not working anymore. This would not be the fault of Lush.

The broken links you mentioned in your post, are the images still accessible where they are being hosted?

Edit: I had a look at one of the group threads that you have been posting in and there are quite a few copies of this image placeholder:

So, the image file on imgur has been removed. That's why those are not loading.

Also, worth bearing in mind that some servers will be set to disallow hotlinking to minimise bandwidth. That means you cannot embed it on another site such as Lush.

5 Oct 2020

FYI: I've cleaned this thread up.

I did actually email Nubiles.net to make sure this was on the level and got a reply to say it was.

Any authors who are interested in this should PM the OP about details I suppose.
