Based on previous rants, I think that what sprite is complaining about is getting a short piece where that line is the only sex. If it contains a line like this but there is more graphic sex elsewhere, you're good.

Where that leaves a story like the one I have perpetually in development hell, where I am at 4000 words and still no actual sex, just some hints of attraction and arousal, I don't know. It's actually a good fantasy piece without the sex so maybe just scrap the sex and target it at blue site.

Thank you. I was not being entirely serious, but I have added a couple of lines after Glenn mounted Julie, just to be safe.

I think I have got beyond 2000 words into stories before there is any sex but never 4000, in fact, few if any of my stories have reached 4000 words.

In your case, it might be a shame to ruin a very good story by adding sex!

Quote by sprite

They fucked. once again, i don't care who you are - two word sex scenes are NOT erotic.

Sprite.

Oh dear, so the story that I am currently writing would get rejected by you because it contains the line:-

"Glenn monted Julie for a Saturday morning fuck when they awoke."

It is one fuck in a weekend of fucking, so maybe my story has a chance.

I had better hope that you don't review it after it is submitted, despite the nice little messaging session we had after you reviewing a recent story of mine.

edit- I might add a line or two to that segment, just in case.

Yes. Rather like the gift option to friends the gifter/tiper can opt to be anonymous but still include a message.

Thank you, John. In the case of my first, and maybe only, 'tip', there is no message.

edit- I now see that I have an email advising me of the tip and that includes a message.

I have just received some Lush coins, I honestly was not expecting any.

Do we get to know who has contributed or does it remain anonymous?

edit-I have partially answered my question because I clicked on coins on my page and it says the donor was Anonymous, I suppose donors have the option of remaining anonymous.

Are the replies on your Interactions? PM me the members name and album details please.

I have messaged you John.

Quote by CallmeJayne

I told you you'd go blind. Take up a hobby.😊

Could you re-do that in braille please?

A friend made a private album open to me and I commented on many of her pics, but on going back in, very few of my comments are visible to me.

I can see them all if I look at my interactions - sent, some twice because I posted them again because I could not see the original.

She has replied to some of them, but I cannot see her replies.

Is this normal please, and if not, can it be rectified?

Thank you.

Seeing this, I have in my draft stories a story that actually got published on here in September 2021. I have been reluctant to delete it from draft in case the published version got deleted by doing so. I do not know how/why it is in draft AND online, but there you go.

It is doing no harm sitting in draft, so I might leave it there anyway.

Quote by LakeShoreLimited

I don't remember seeing this when I last submitted a story (in October, I think) but I may have missed something. At the bottom of the submission form, below "tags" and "series," there is a box for "username." What I put in there is not saved each time I do a round of editing. Am I doing something wrong?

I can't answer your question but I have just looked at a story of mine that is in draft and I see the box but do not recall seeing it before. It could be that it has always been there and I had not noticed but I have certainly never entered anything there. As it is below a box saying 'series' maybe it is something to do with that.

Mine means that my initials are PJH.

Hi Rumpies

I'd like to introduce you to 7 month old Buttercup. ❤️ The humane society named her Butterscotch, but I renamed her Buttercup. I hope she can join the other animals who call Rumps home. 😊 She's very shy, so be gentle. I hope Miss Pixel likes her and can maybe look out for her when she visits. She's a mixed breed. Small, but her breed has very long fluffy tails that make her look bigger. She's going to all of Boo's fav spots and rolling around and purring and making biscuits. Haha! Me love her so much!

Hello Buttercup, pleased to meet you.

You will have a wonderful home with Kimmi and I am sure that you will both be very happy together.

Quote by Jen

I've just tested it and seems to be working fine.

When I went back to my story, I was able to create tags thank you, Jen.

It seems to only be an occasional problem but it is a frustrating one when it happens.

Thank you.

Is there a 'new' problem with story tags?

With the last story that I submitted, I was able to create some but had trouble with others and asked the Mod that reviewed the story to kindly add them, which they did.

I am working on another story and so far all attempts to create Tags have failed even very basic Tags.

Is this a common problem please?

Quote by simplyjohn

Is there some reason (please dont tell me) that this event appears to be somewhat exciting for you? Use the time to have tea and some biscuits... thats what I will do :)

If such an event causes that much excitement, I think that I will write a story about a website having downtime for an hour. I could write about how all the people that run the site are spending that hour- maybe even have one of them having tea and some biscuits.

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Paul, I just like contributing to the site each year with my Gold renewal, so don't want the one and done payment. And I'm a weirdo who doesn't want to be highlighted on the Home Page (comes with Platinum)

Understood Kimmi.

You are not a weirdo, well, not much more than most on here.

Quote by Jen

Yes, all the same features, plus some additional ones as described in the opening post.

Thank you Jen, I saw the additional features but I got concerned about maybe losing something when Kimmi said about wanting to keep her Gold.

Quote by KimmiBeGood
because I wanna keep my Gold status.

I have gone with Platinum but I assume/hope that I have not lost anything that I had as Gold.

Can someone please confirm that?

Please ignore my earlier post about not being able to get in (maybe you were ignoring it anyway) because I was later able to get in, thank you.

Quote by Seeker4

Ditto. Not really interested in Platinum right now, but was curious.

Yes, I am just at the curious stage too. I will try again later. Thanks for responding.

Don't know if it is just me, but I click on the 'Black Friday Sale' bar and a red thingy keeps going round and round indefinitely. I don't know how long I am supposed to wait but I do not have all day, I have got a story to write!

I will try again a bit later but don't know if it is just a question of waiting, and waiting, and....

Quote by kistinspencil

Desktop, lap, and phone, but when I opened this morning, the page order was back to newest/oldest again. I think this place has a weird sense of humor sometimes.

Wow! Just looked at mine on my desktop, which is all that I use, and mine are in order too (at the moment) having been pretty much random earlier it seems.

Edit- it didn't last. Now back to all over the place again after the first four or five which are in order. Oh well.

This is my favorite word. Filth is glorious. The more disgusting the better.

How about disgusting filth?

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Yup. Understandable. And if that's meant as an intro, it will hardly entice readers to come back for more.

I have just managed to get part 3 of my current literary masterpiece online without a huge amount of sex in that particular part. Just mostly references to past sex in the series and the promise of more sex to cum.

Anyone would think that this was a fucking sex site or something.

Sex in stories? Whatever next?

Quote by Jen

The tech team will work through the list of minor bugs today and then we can hopefully get onto identifying things that are different and things that maybe just don't look the way they used to. Thanks. As well as the things raised here, we know there are issues with friends lists display/ordering etc, so no need to raise a separate thread for things like that.

I have queries regarding both the friends listing and the followers listing but I will wait to see if my perceived problems resolve themselves.

Quote by WannabeWordsmith

I wouldn't say it explains it, per se. It was more a general comment backing up what you said. But as there are a few hundred thousand things bring migrated in the background, there may be other things that fall by the wayside during the process, such as like and view counts. Or maybe there's something amiss that will crop up tomorrow and need fixing.

Give it a day to catch up with itself and revisit the pages then to see if anything's changed.

Yes, sorry.

I did not mean that to read as it did.

Quote by WannabeWordsmith

Sometimes I've noticed a delay between something appearing in one area (e.g. the forum, or a story comment) and the notification. Or vice versa. Guess not everything is real-time and it sends info between various site areas, which can take a variable amount of time based on how many other things the server is doing (like processing images, etc).

So that explains why almost all of the 'new' stories on the home page at the moment are saying zero likes and zero views?

Hopefully, everything will catch up eventually.

A sort of offshoot of this, is it correct that between all of the 'new' stories on the home page at this moment, there have only been a total of 4 likes-and those spread over two stories?

I suppose if there are not any people reading the stories (or none indicated as reading them) there are not likely to be likes.

Oh! I just got a like notification on my new story!

Edit-although I got a notification of a 'like' it still says zero likes.

Quote by simplyjohn

You see the 'view followers' option way over to the right on the Follows page?

Yes John, I see that and use it and it produces my followers in I assume the order that they were last online.

The search thing there seems to do nothing (unless I am doing it incorrectly).

It previously said how many followers that I had but now does not. An arithmetical calculation of multiplying the number of pages by 24 plus adding those on the incomplete page gives me a total but that total is less than it was before by (I think) about 20. Maybe closed accounts are lost or something?

Unless I am using it completely incorrectly, it does not seem to be much use to me.

As I said, a notification when you get a new follower would have been nice.

Quote by Jen

Still some stuff that needs ironed out but it's after UK office hours here now, so will likely be tomorrow. Thanks.

It has been after UK office hours for me since 2013, when I retired.

(That is year 2013 not 13 minutes after eight)
