On other chat sites, users are booted if they don't interact for a certain period (10 minutes or so) maybe that would be an alternative, or maybe set up a queueing system so you just have to wait until someone drops out.


Good ideas.

I find it difficult to concentrate on the goings on in one chat room, let alone multiple rooms. With that in mind, should we restrict it so members can only be in one room at a time?

A teleportation button would be nice.


We're working on the destination set as I type. Where would you like to go? It can be interstellar apparently, although I wouldn't recommend the black holes. Gav has a few council workers trying to fill in those.
4 of the above didn't make it. 3 not exactly 140 chars, 1 had no full-stop.
I don't need Sydney, there's blue skies in England (first I've seen since November)!

This ISN'T a photoshop

It's a hardcore competition. Not hardass.


Where's your entry smarty pants cat?
A little over a week left before the deadline. Get moving folks!

There's a small issue with the upgrade path, which will be fixed shortly.
We'll look into this for you.

Thank you for your generosity
Good luck with the book Metilda.

Great title and cover design.

I'll add it to my "to read" list.
A reminder to our community that we take these matters very seriously.

Offenders who think they might be protected by using a VPN service, are sadly mistaken.

We have close contacts with authorities in the US, Canada, UK and Australia, and WILL REPORT all individuals who post underage images.

Be warned.

The division of the poetry and stories was the most clever way to deal with this problem. When I heard that was the way they were going to do it I was pretty impressed at whoever came up with that. Well done.


Thank you.

What are you after?

I don't think we need to spend an entire year's ad revenue on making the site "mobile friendly" seeing we created a stripped down site for mobile devices already.

The full site looks great on my iPad. I am not sure who would expect a website with everything we have going on, to be "friendly" to a device with a screen 2" x 4"!

I am sure google (who recently advised mobile friendliness will be a ranking factor) won't expect the owners of privately run SME websites, to go through all the expense of this exercise. Fair enough if you are talking about large enterprises, but that's not the case here.

You just need to find some CSS experts with time on their hands. People who actually know stuff though rather than enthusiastic volunteers willing to learn or people who have managed to change the background on their wordpress site. People who know why using the universal selector for a CSS reset is a bad idea.


That's great. Is a Tuesday start good for you?
The Spring Daffodils didn't come out as well as I'd hoped, on an overcast day:



The bulrushes worked better:



The UK countryside is such a contrast to Australia. It's nice experiencing true seasons again (weather wise).
We've had a couple of hot entries already.

This one is going to be fun to judge.

Concerning the visual and interaction design Lush looks quite outdated already.

Lush needs to keep up-to-date with its looks and usability, otherwise its strengths will become its weaknesses. That's what I believe.


The forums are very outdated, we know. Unfortunately, there aren't many better alternatives, which is why forums the world over, have hardly changed design, in the last 20 years.

One thing we will be moving to, going forward, is a "Groups" feature. That will take more emphasis away from the forums, and create little pockets of activity, amongst like minded individuals. It's a massive project though, and requires a lot of coding hours, so for now, we wait...

The core of the site, I believe, is second to none. No other erotic story site comes anywhere near what we have to offer here, and I'm very proud of that.

I'd be interested in hearing your suggestions as to how we could update the site. I'm always looking for ways to improve it, across the board. Please send me a pm.
Excellent BiMale73. Have it all on my desk by Friday COB. Danke!

Agreed, it would be nice to have a one size fits all site. With all the features (and benefits) we have running on here, I'm not sure how possible and practical that ideal scenario is.
Hi Simran,

I don't think you're quite understanding how it all works.

The App we have is read only. If there's no chance of attracting vast numbers of people outside of our existing community, to use it (which is the case since Google Play and Amazon shut their doors to Adult Apps), what would be the point of developing it further? There are a few thousand installs of it out there, that's all.

Compare that to 20 million monthly pageviews served on the mobile version of the site m.lushstories.com, with 1.5 million monthly users, and you can see where, if any development time and resources were available, we would be focusing on.

I would love to have the mobile version of the site updated, so it would include your login, message access, a stripped down version of people's profiles, chat, and all the rest of it (as per FB). However that would be about 6-12 months of someone's coding time.

We have a part-time coder, who's very busy with his own life / full-time job, and it's just not going to happen any time soon.

The other consideration is any person who would be working on either the App, or more likely, the mobile upgrades, would need access to our source code and files. That's not something we'd be prepared to give out.

Thank you for your kind offer to help, but I think it's a non-starter.

Cheers,

Nicola
Thanks Liz.

well if u guys allow and we are able to make one app..would u guys allow it
/?


As Liz pointed out, we have an APP already. Click the link on lushpublishing.com above.

Google Play and Amazon, no longer list Sex Stories Apps, so there is little point us actively promoting or developing it further. They corner perhaps 99% of the market for apps, and without their distribution network, there's little point writing adult apps these days.

Unless you know a way of distributing them successfully elsewhere Simran?
It sounds like people would still like to have this feature in place, in some guise.

So it's not a system drain as Gav mentions, I wonder if it's possible to add the option for people to "jump to page XYZ" of each category? I'll ask the powers that be. All it would be is creating a query string like Liz mentioned, and going to it at the touch of a button.
A couple was having marital difficulties and consulted a marriage counselor.

After meeting with them, the counselor told them that their problems could all be traced to a lack of communication.

"You two need to talk," he said. "So, I recommend that you go to a jazz club. Just wait until it's time for the bass player to solo.

"Why is that?" asked the wife.

"Because then you'll be talking just like everyone else."

Yes, sentences finish with a full-stop.

Those that made the grade, have all been tweetered.


An orchestra begins a two-week tour. One hour before the first concert, the conductor becomes sick and cannot conduct. The orchestra has to find a substitute. The orchestra manager asks all the members of the orchestra if they can take over. The only one willing is one of the violists. He conducts the entire tour to rave reviews and standing ovations in every city.

At the first rehearsal after the tour, the conductor is recovered so the violist takes his old seat in the viola section. His stand partner looks at him and says, “Where have you been for the last two weeks?”
