Just wondering if there's any update on this... I tried again today and I'm still getting the same result.


I have updated the amazon page parser so hopefully it will successfully add your eBook now.

I've been looking at my "friends activity" and no-one appears to have posted for a few days. However, when I look at their profiles, or even when I see them on my friends list, they have clearly posted. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Also, it's stopped showing the last time my friends were online in my friends list? Is that something which has been changed or is it an issue?


Activity updates should start trickling through now. Let me know if you dont see any changes after 24 hours.
The site will be down today for about an hour while we perform an upgrade of our database. This is scheduled to start from 10pm Pacific Time.

Thanks
gav

Since my original post in early July, and adele's post mid-July, just to feedback that the private chat boxes are still not working if one is not a premium member. Any idea when this would be sorted? I've encountered quite a few disgruntled members. smile


I am doing some final tests, should be up early this week. Appreciate your patience with this.

Thanks Gav. Figured that when I didn't see the badge on my profile this evening.


Yourself and Poppy now have the badge, all is well (apart from the two that lost is with only 38 categories, opps).
Quote by Banes1
Why am I the only one out of five to lose my omnium badge?

I moved my pirate story to the Historical Category the day the category was posted.

I thought once moved there I would still have the badge.

Will someone kindly explain this to me?

Here is the link to my story;

Thank you for your time.



There's normally a 24 hour delay to recalculate the badges. However its been longer than that, so I suspect there's something wrong. There are 3 others with the badge, but interestingly they have published in 38 categories, you have 39.
Well that was a nice surprise for the day wasn't it.

Unfortunately we are going to have the same thing happen again in a year. I better set myself a reminder for next time, so i dont have to sort out a SSL renewal during my lunchtime smile

I understand how free members can't upload and use the site resources.

But now I can't delete pics, albums, or even friends.

How does this make sense?


I'm afraid this is my mistake, one which I cannot fix right away.

When I implemented the restrictions for paid versus free membership, I made the mistake of blocking actions for things that you currently have. For example, rather than let you manage images you have previously uploaded I made the whole image gallery page blocked.

The problem is I am over half way through a migration to a new database API which has touched 60% of the code. I am not in a position to make a fix for this easily.

This will one of the first things I fix when the code is ready for release.

Hey Nicola - just wanted to mention that the chat boxes dont seem to be working. commodoreben (who's a subscriber) sent me a chat request, and it led to a message that says it is only available for premium members.

On a separate note, are "online messages" (IMs?) now only applicable if the user is on our friend list?

Lush mail (PMs) work though.


Thanks!


This should not be the case. I cant verify on my dev machine just yet, the codes all in a mess. Once its operational I shall fix.
thanks everyone for your kind b'day wishes.

i had the hindsight of removing the duck from my toy wishlist. im not quite sure what the kids would say when that rocks up on my door step.

i feel like an attention whore right now. its only one day a year, im going to run with it
The api has been updated to use Google's new v3 youtube api. Video uploading should work as before.

Unfortunately those of you with an early Apple TV wont be so lucky

I was sure I had at least two listens on this audio... Either this is the server migration, or that's the amount of spunk splatts I managed to aid.

Edit: As sensible people would know, I can't currently upload the screen shot.

This story, https://www.lushstories.com/stories/masturbation/quick-slick-wank.aspx is showing -1 listens. It's not an issue; I'm simply curious. Will views and listens be re-set to 0 on the new server, or is it passing? No worries, just wondering.

Magic Tea <~~ for Gav.



See -1 shows intent, 0 indicates a bug to me (default int).

Its currently out of my control, we are in the hands if the hosting gods.

Godspeed server4.

I do, but only when i'm cooking up stats to throw around the forum. That said, I usually monkey with the query string to get to where I think I need to go rather than using the numbered links


Never fear, category numbers will still be available through the mobile site.

I think its safe to assume that I can remove these links now. That's a big win, one less query to run and cache.

I bet there's some fab stories on Page No 1,683,281,342




Stay away from those early pages, that was pre-moderation times. Beware all ye that enter.
Quote by KatieElizabeth


That would work for me, as long as I knew what the highest numbered page that I could select was.


The highest page count you could select is Int.MaxValue which is 2,147,483,647
Well..... To work out how many pages you have you frist need to know your collection size. So that's a query for the total count and a hit for the page you're after. At the moment we cache these counts so its not too much strain on the db. I'm working on a change to split stories and poetry up, so now the cache gets a little more complicated. Would be nice to not have to worry about pages and collection counts altogether.

Is everyone with me?
For shits and giggles, does anyone here actually use the page numbers at the bottom of the story lists (home page)? I’m not sure what the value is with them, especially as the numbers grow.

If I remove them and replace with a <Prev Next> links instead is anyone going to contract kill me?

Cheers, gav
This outage effects all media, which includes audio (stories), videos, gallery images and thumbs.

We've migrated from a Windows Server instance of Mongo to a CentOS version and having a minor hiccup restoring the database.

Shouldn't be too much longer
Quote by Will_greybeard


Best of luck Gav! Does this mean that the service will be faster, or will we notice no difference?

Regards, Will


I'm aiming for a nice consistent performance graph. At the moment we have spikes. When the site is under load everything grinds to a halt.

I'm waiting for DNS to catch up before I can really start the migration.

The forum db now has its own dedicated server so we *should* be seeing some performance benefits here.
We have a new server to host all our media (audio, images, videos etc) and will be migrating to this over the next 24 hours. I will leave the site operational during this time, however it means GETting and PUTting to this server is going to fail.

This will mean broken images, failed uploads etc during this time.

Normal service will resume shortly.

I guess Lush does not want the risk of someone uploading hardcore pics to their server that turn out to be illegal, like with people on it who are underage. Of course, Lushers could do such a thing outside the hardcore section (anywhere where there is un upload button) anyway, but the chances that something like that would happen by accident is bigger here I guess.

But these are just my assumptions.


Your assumption's were spot on. The hardcore threads are much more likely to have questionable content uploaded. Therefore its hotlinking only folks.
I have updated the wording on the Premium page, sorry for the confusion
Experiement fail. I shall revert my changes for fear of losing an avid fan.
Google has recommended we enable viewport for mobile devices.

For those on mobile, is this better or worse than before?
Quote by robinfriendly
So I was wondering if anyone has been having trouble with this. I've been trying to submit a new story for a while now, when I get everything put in and click continue It takes me to a page notifying me that an error has occurred and an email has been sent to lush to look into it. Its been doing this for about a week, maybe a little longer, I've heard nothing back from Lush, I don't know what to do. Has anyone else had trouble with this kind of thing?


I'm not aware of any issues. Dont suppose you are copying and pasting your story from Word?
