Sounds more like a personal chat room.
You can make your own on the Chat Room page, but being user-generated it won't be permanent. I think they disappear once the last person leaves?

Veteran stage and film actor Sir Ian Holm, who played Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings films, has died at the age of 88.
Sir Ian, Oscar-nominated as the coach in Chariots of Fire, also played the android Ash in 1979's Alien.
"It is with great sadness we can confirm that the actor Sir Ian Holm CBE passed away this morning at the age of 88," his agent said in a statement.
"He died peacefully in hospital with his family and carer," he added.

Hello, I have been into settings/privacy and requested only friends can see my pictures, however it appears they are still available to all.
It appears that there is no option to change setting on albums after they have been created.
You don’t have any images in your image gallery that I can see. All of your images are in albums, so you need to use the album permissions that I explained above.
You can change the settings on albums after they have been created, just go to the albums page in your account settings and click ‘edit’:

What do you mean by requested? When you make a photo album for your profile you can set the restrictions yourself, either friends only or select individuals.

Create a new album, give it a name, allow or disallow comments, then you get this option:
If you upload images to your standard image gallery instead of creating a custom album, then there is also an option in your account settings here called 'Only friends can see my image gallery':

Mags, you pipped me to the top spot! Congratulations, you sexy thing. 
I loved your story and your first place is very well deserved. 
A big congratulations to Stormydawg and everyone else who rounded up the top 20. Microfiction is a tough format to work with and there were some amazing entries in this competition.

It's comforting to learn I'm not the only one to have had their first story rejected by Lush. It took me three submissions before it was accepted. Some pathetic pedantry concerning the niceties of punctuating dialogue correctly.
Which story was it? Just curious.

Hi, I want to submit a story to the Microfiction competition. Can anyone tell me if it's okay to use the image from the competition page as a cover image? I'm thinking that since it's already shown here there won't be any copyright issues with doing this (unless Lush Stories sues me).
Go for it.

I still remember that story. That made for an... interesting discussion.
I think we invited you to be a mod shortly after that.
The guy had a tallywacker swinging down past his knees. I left him some - it didn't all get cut off.
And you're the mod that rejected my first story, lol. Sent you a friend request after that I think.

I got my first story on Lush rejected.
Happens to everyone at some point. I hadn't read the rules as a lot of people don't when they first join a site and the mod was absolutely right to send it back to me. I read the rejection note, made the changes required and got it published.
I've had other stories returned since then, too. I even got a story disqualified from a story competition once because in it I cut a guy's dick off with a bacon slicer.
As story moderators, we get the whole spectrum of responses to returning someone's story for corrections from "Thank you for pointing that out! I'll make the changes and get it resubmitted" to "Fuck you, bitch. Do you even know who I am?!". One of those makes you feel as though the time you've volunteered in order to help writers was worthwhile and appreciated. The other makes you want to rip the author's nipples off with a pair of vise-grips.
Even now I have no idea how some of our story mods manage to process so many stories each month. I'd go cross-eyed.

Curious that this topic should appear. Usually an indication of a systemic problem. Several years ago I submitted a few stories here. They were under my copyright, of course. They had been published in other forums with outstanding reviews. All had gone through a vetting process. I still get emails from fans to this day which surprises me. The stories I wrote are not stories per se, but experiences from real life, just the way they happened and from my extremely good memory, lol. One, then a second, of these stories was submitted. I immediately ran into an "editor". I did not mind, not at all. Different publishers have different standards, not always consistent, even from one editor to another in the same forum. I worked with the Lush editor exchanging messages and making changes. One of the stories was published although I felt uneasy with the end result. With the second, as the editor made more changes, I realized that she was changing the substance of the story and it was not the same story that embodied my own style and what had made all my stories so popular. In addressing this to the most senior person I found my reasoning falling on deaf ears. At that point I realized, to put it frankly, Lush needed me much more than I needed them. I pulled my story from lush and went my own way. No yelling or screaming, lol. I look at an editor as someone who can help me make my experience/story better. Not change it into something that changes the original intent. I haven't been interested in publishing anything here since then. I see that nothing has really changed.
Every so often I go to the story sections and read one or two. Sorry to say this but the stories seem to have been written by the same person. A result in the editing process? To the aspiring authors out there, if you really want to write something that is "you", I can only advise you to be true to yourself, do not let someone change who you are. Find an editor that will make your own self "better". Not change you into someone your not.
Good luck.
Unfortunately, you’re not the only person who has this misapprehension. The moderators on Lush are not ‘editors’. They simply ensure that the stories being published do not contain any unacceptable content like underage characters, meet a certain quality standard with regards to grammar and punctuation, and are formatted correctly i.e. paragraphed and use correct dialogue formatting. That’s about it. And the reason is simply to ensure an enjoyable reading experience for the visitors to the site.
Some other websites will let people publish anything without any interest in making sure the stories are even readable. Ploughing through one of those where character names change halfway through and every other sentence has a typo is like pulling teeth.
Sorry to hear you didn’t find the Lush moderation process workable for you.

I have done that... no response. no boxing opportunity. I can receive boxes from people and answer those by using the reply but not able to generate any from friend list or profile pages.
I've not had this issue on any device or with any browser, so that's really weird.
Depending on what web browser you are using try a hard refresh on a friend's profile page and try it again.
If that doesn't work, completely clear down your browser cache and try that.

Sorry Nicola I didn't answer all of your response. I have tried to message from profiles and from friend's list. Same result. I have used Microsoft, Google Chrome and Firefox all with same result.
What happens if you go to your friend's profile page and click on 'Send an online message'. Does it show you a text box to type a message into?
