It's definitely possible, it's been added to the backlog!
I would like to propose a new permanent room to add to our current offerings, the Lush Bedroom and Lush Lounge rooms. The chat in these rooms should be open to all, newcomers welcomed and respected.

Would anyone like to suggest a room name or theme?
Hi Folks

I've just published a new release of Lush. The major changes are to the backend, so should be transparent to you. I have replaced the IM (instant message) and Online Message (black boxes) storage, so should be a little quicker and more importantly scale to many more users.

The only visible change you should see is to allow you to order your friends. This has been a long time coming I know, you should see the paper work involved in such a change.

As always, give me a shout if you see anything odd.

Cheers.............gav
Opps, I managed to omit the timezone didn't I. Well its PST, where the server is located.

So the upgrade went well I think.

Can you all please let me know if you see it freeze, slow down, or have general crankyness over the next few days.

I'm moving onto the online messaging system next.

Hi Folks

I've been re-architecting the back end for the chat rooms and online messaging system. I need to shut down the chat rooms from approximately 12:00am on the 29th (tomorrow) for about 30 minutes.

I will be keeping an eye on them over the next few days for errors, if anyone see's anything out of the ordinary with them, please give me a holla.

Cheers.............gav

I have added the option to save a chat transcript, the Disk icon next to the Emoticon.

Clicking on this icon will open a prompt to download or open a text file (depending on your browser), this should contain an exact copy of the messages you see in your chat window.

If you find any problems with it, give me a shout.

Please May we have some more words on the Thought of the day???? Thank you


I've increased the limit from 400 to 1000 characters, may the thoughts be with you.

@Harmony, if the members thought is over 400 characters, then I shall truncate it, so not to obfuscate your other friends activity (either that or have less friends!).

I'll knock off some more of these quick wins!

@Alan, thanks, I do try. Please tell this to my line manager, I'm due for a raise biggrin
Hey

I've made a change to the online status, to include a custom away message and an option to avoid online messages too. I'm not sure the intent of the change is that clear, so take a look see if it makes sense:

http://www.lushstories.com/membership/update-details.aspx?s=online

So we have two settings to control your ability to be contacted online, your visibility and your status. Your visibility, either everyone, friends or invisible controls, who can see you online and contact you. So:

- Use everyone so that everyone can see you online and anyone can open up a chat window
- Use friends only so that only your friends can see you online and can open a chat window
- Use block all, or invisible so that no one can see you online

Your online status, either away, or online governs whether you are available to receive a chat window or online message. So when you are online, choose:

- Away, no one can open a chat window. You may choose to not receive online messages too (black boxes) and supply an optional away message, i.e. Gav is currently on the potty.
- Online, you are free to receive chats and online messages


Does it make sense, or have I been to locked away, isolated from civilization for too long?

Only changes to the story itself will result in it required verification by a moderator.

If this is not happening, then please let me know.

Thanks everyone, we are still both in shock!

Another two clone's for the Emprie's bidding. God I hope its girls this time, after these two, I'm spent!
I've changed it so that a Draft story can be saved below the 3000 character limit.

Hope this helps.
My suggestion would be delete any read messages, or sent items that are older than 6 months (configurable of course biggrin)
The server is back up and operational.

I would hate to be in the their (hotsing company) shoes right now, nic has her angry eyes on biggrin
After our continual problems with the site, our hosting provider has requested they run diagnostics on our disk array (as we are seeing I/O errors).

It maybe down for between 1 to 4 hours, depending on how it goes.

Dont go two-timing us now, just becuase are shop front is closed biggrin
Hope you have a great day nic. A pamper pack will be in the post shortly


Despite what people think, breaking the Chat window was not one of my new features.

I have cleaned out the tubes, and made the page footprint ~10% smaller, so page loading should be snapier.

Also shrunk images on peoples profile pages where its too wide for the page, thanks tommie!

Bonus prize for anyone who notices anything different biggrin
Normal service should return after 10-15 minutes.

Thanks
It sounds like your been blocked at some level from reaching our site. Assuming your using Windows,

Click on Start, Run, type Command and press enter.

In the black box that appears, type tracert lushstories.com

Can you send me the results of the above please.
@bunny

Maybe as a workaround, until I can clear some of my backlo, on your image gallery, it gives you the full url for each of your images. There's no reason why you couldnt upload an image to your gallery, take this url and copy it to the comments area of your friend.
Thanks, I think the navigation works much better now.

Once it is beded down I shall move it across to the forum too.

I have had some people ask where the Logout button has gone. It is the last menu item on the Account navigation tab.
Thanks you guys, for your special birthday wishes. I had a wonderful day organised by my wife, a real surprise.

I would think of something witty to write, but like Catnip, I'm too tired

I have just uploaded a fix for Internet Explorer users so you can now press enter rather than having to click on the Login button.

Let me know if you still have problems.
I've had quite a few contact emails this and last week concerning people not being able to login.

When they login from the home page and navigate to a new page, it looses the fact they were logged on (doesn't remember them between pages). When I direct them to login from the forum it works?

Anyone else have this problem?

If can see 3 images in your gallery MMonroe, did you expect more?

Send the image you had difficulties with through to me please.
I'll have a look at those forum issues soon.

I think I've solved the problem with the member search, please try again for me.
Thanks for all your feedback. I am implementing some of your suggestions now.

It was working last night, what went wrong!

@Kitty, maybe we can take google's lead on this and have a sponsored member section at the top of the results!
I have just published a new version of Lush, containing the following features:

* Member Search, find a member with various search criteria. Let me know if we need anything added.
* Images submitted appear in your friends activity list
* Fixed story search, better matching
* Left/Right arrow keys paginate through the member photo's (should help exakta66's netbook problem)

Let me know if you find any issues.
Cheers
