I guess I'm strange, if I write a long comment, I write it up in Word and paste it in to the comment. Though, with the new feature, it might not separate, so what I just said is null in void. *Grins* Oops.
Also, can we get a feature to hide this on our activity feed? Like everything else, to have a choice. And if it is there already, can someone tell me where?

As someone who reads stories, I don't expect to get a thank you for anyone that I do read from. It is nice if they do, but no big deal if they don't.
As for me thanking people who read my things, I tend to thank anyone on my friends list, for the first month or so on a new story. As for those who aren't on my friends list, I may send them out on occasion, but not as often. I should, but I don't. It is more out of not having enough time, it is quicker to post it on a wall, than send it via inbox. The only time I make sure to thank everyone is when it is a competition piece.
I always appreciate when anyone reads any of my stuff, always. It still surprises me at how many read my scribbles.

I wish I had more time and energy to devote to reading here but the ones I won't skip over with new stuff published are Dragon_Lily (blush), averageblackgirl (who's hardly average), Cum girl (wish she would write more), and Lauralee_sugah (who I actually paid money out of pocket to purchase her book). Lisa wrote a great story about losing her virginity a while back that I think was what got me started writing again after decades of writing business memos and letters. She also gave me encouragement when I began writing that kept me at it. Sprite is fun. I haven't read much of the guys though I'm starting to. Courtney Fux is a lot of fun, I love his use of first person prose. DanielleX and Poppet and Trinket and AlexandraA and Cindertoffee and Mazza and Shylass have all given moments of pleasure reading them; I need to find time to read more of them. I usually leave a comment if something I read gave me a tingle.
I'm glad I made your list, Billy. You're a sweetheart. xxx

I want to wish you ladies a very happy birthday. I hope it is a wonderful birthday weekend and all your wishes come true. You both deserve it, such beautiful ladies!
Here is a little love for you, Jayne, we both know how much Ian loves to come visit you. He couldn't miss your birthday!
And for you Liz, a sexy little redhead who found her way into the forums just got so super excited to see you.
They even brought cake! Since we all know both of you are turning 21.
Enjoy ladies.

You few have truly made a shy girl blush to the highest depths. I'm so honored and pleased you few me as one of, if not the best on here. No words can begin to describe how much that means to me.
Now I'm going to go hide in a corner and keep on blushing. 
you told me I was number one. I thought what we had was Real but now, now I see that was just another toy for you to break. *runs off crying bitterly*

With someone, which would be you, Jonathan, would be Tea and Strumpet.
Then Fuck Doll would be the second. It is a ten chapter piece, coming in at 44,200 words.
And for a stand-alone story, it would be Kiss, But Don't Tell at 9,200 words.

I think under our friends list, the one by the mail box on the right-hand side corner, we should have a search friend thing. Like, if you have as many friends as I do, you can just start to type in their name and it pops up for us. Instead of having to scroll down 200+ friends in search of that person. Because you don't know where you keep all of your friends, when you have that many. So, as long as you know how to spell the start of their name, you're in luck. Otherwise, not so much. I think this would be so helpful!

My Stories List: Show my stories broken down by category
If you do, new stories will automatically go into the category, rather than appear at the top of your story list.
I do, yes. It is fine, I just reset the order under stories each time I submit now.

I have had both. But, more often than not, they've been older. Up until recently, though. Now it seems I'm swayed more towards younger. But, I don't go too young, because, just no. 25 is about my limit. Anything younger just puts me off. And as for older, as long as they are not older than my mum, we're fine.

It sounds like a cache invalidation issue to me. When you were logged on, you have set yourself category restrictions. With these enabled you see the raw view direct from the database (as we cant cache different permutations for each user). However when you’re not logged on there are no restrictions so you get served up a cached result. This cached view is invalidated under certain conditions, such as a story being verified.
The site could not survive on a single web server servicing thousands of requests per second without some form of cache.
I’ll investigate further later on.
The two hardest things in computer programming, cache invalidation and naming things 
Do you think you can come whisper all this into my ear as I, um... well, what I'm doing is not relevant. Just whisper it to me.

Hey, VG. while i get your disappointment, this seems like a rare, one time glitch - I'll have Gav look into it, but honestly, unless it reoccurs or is wide spread, he's already got a lot on his plate. the only thing i can really do to appease you is delete your story and have you re-submit as new - that'll get it onto the front page again, but you'll also lose all votes and comments.
Let's just be honest, Rach. We all know you remove stories so only yours show, because you want all the attention. That is why you're so popular here. Be real with us already. We've caught on.

When I friend someone, its because they are interested in my writing, I'm interested in theirs, or both. I do read their profiles but unless they specifically state they don't want requests, I offer one.
When I do, I'm careful to be polite and respectful. I'm upfront about my intentions or lack thereof. To be honest, I've almost never been turned down.
Whether or not people are accepting you isn't about who you are or what their desires may be. Its about how you present yourself. Be respectful, don't assume a woman wants to cyber you and tell him or her your real interest and why you'd like there friendship and you will find they will be respectful and open to your request.
You told me it was for my private boobie folder. You fibber.

Okay, I've sent out exactly one friend request, once, to a person who commented on my story (she accepted, thank you, Poppet). And why whine in public about your avatar? Why are you using someone elses' pic anyway? Oh, that's right, you want attention--want people to see your avi, think it's you, go to your profile page, and friend request you. My avatar is me; what exactly are you hiding, besides loneliness and need?
You're welcome, darling. I was honoured to become friends with you. As for me, I'm pretty much agreeing with HT.
If you use a fake avatar, it is going to attract attention to your profile. People, or a lot of people join Lush to be social. So, people, of both sexes are going to send you friends request. Sadly, not everyone reads profiles. Some people only want a certain sex, some don't want friends at all, or from certain place, what-have-you. Regardless of what you say or don't say on your profile, you're bound to get friend requests. You'll see that on any social media site. I say, get used to it, dear. You have the choice of approving or not!
