When I click on Activity on the home page after logging in, I get this message.

An error occurred

An error occurred during execution; please try again later.

I've been trying again later for 4 hours

I just tried -- same error and it also logged me out entirely. I think it's broke
It's because you deselected everything and turned all your seeking settings off, just turned it back on for you so it's working. On the top right of activity page under settings you can adjust them all there. 
I just checked my profile after trying to open Activity and I am now listed as SEEKING BI-GIRLS, BI-CURIOUS GIRLS, & LESBIANS!!!!!!!!!!! How dare you change my settings! 
It also seems that the new admin do not see an issue with going into individual members' profiles and making adjustments. Please can I ask what the limit to this is? Am I next going to be told where I live or how tall I am, what about comments on stories or profiles or responses to them, can I be assured they are from the user and not an admin who has decided to fiddle with someone's account?
i'll look into this and see what's going on. you're right. no one should be going in and making adjustments in peoples profiles.

Nobody has the authority to say what is and what isn't poetry. To do so is the height of presumptuousness. 

And yet my 300-word piece about a passionate one-day online affair is judged neither a love poem nor an erotic poem. I doubt that I will ever submit anything again. When you’re told twice you’re not good enough, it’s time to leave. 
no one ever told you that you weren't good enough. that's not how we work here. they wouldn't be on my team if they treated our authors like that. period. 


 i looked your piece over and agree with the mods who returned it. it's not a poem, it's the skeleton of a story, one that i think could be very interesting if you took the time to flesh it out. as is, it feels incomplete. personally, i would suggest that you take their advice and turn it into something wonderful instead of just giving up.

we do have the right to decide what is publishable and what is not on this site. not always a popular choice, but we do try to maintain a certain standard here.

HI Rumpies! I ran away from home so haven't been on. But I found this pic and it reminded me of Sprite. I can't seem to msg it to her. If you see her, will you show her?

Thx and hugs and love to all!!! kiss


aww. that's super cute, Kimmi. thanks. it made me smile. smile heart

The disconnect between reality and the way the laws force online sites to operate is laughable but serious. According to the law, and by extension Lush, all children are innocent virgins with pure minds who have never heard or spoken of sex. Nobody experiences pleasure or has lustful urges. 

Then they turn 16 and the chastity belts, cock cages, blindfolds, earplugs, etc., are removed and they can fornicate like rabbits. At long last, masturbation is discovered, pleasure is had, sex ed is obtained. They are adults overnight.

It is because of these attitudes that we continue to have young people getting their sex information off of the Internet or from equally ignorant friends. Adults are embarrassed to discuss it so they make it illegal and assume it will go away. It’s also why we have teen pregnancies, STDs, and the added complexity of statutory /close-in-age laws. 

Lush is not a sex education site. Nor is it a replacement for parental responsibility.  We publish erotic stories for adults.

  Is it that difficult, really, to just be an adult and be polite? Really??
It is for me. *growls* 

You managed to come into the room once the individual in question left. Your timing is impeccable *growls right back* 


.......................................................................................


Okay fine, I kinda liked it when you came in,  even if you were a little late to the party... * blushes furiously * 

I have to say I do like the way you growl 


Ladies, get a room. You, too, sprite.
This isn't a room? Looks like a room to me.🙂

Just a question really. Are we going to get the notifications to followers back. I really cant see the point of following someone if I'm not told when they put out a new story. I'm not even told when a story of mine has been published. I just see it on the homepage. Thank you. Regards, Verity

yes. we are. don't know when, but we will if i have to do it myself. that's kind of the whole point of following someone. i might have to bash some heads, but it will happen.

Just a really, random, mild thing that isn't even a thing - I've randomly been given a participation banner in the Proud and Kinky competition. I haven't participated in any competitions yet 😁 though I do love the colours. 



most people want more badges. you want less? woman, we need to talk. smh. 
Quote by MorePleasin

 

There seems to be a diminished focus on stories, and more of a slant towards hook-up/chat,  

that is being addressed. lush is, primarily, a story site. i'm pushing hard to ensure that all the tools for writers, readers, and mods are there or put back into place. this is a transition period, but once it's over, things should be as they should be once more. smile

Alone? Not at all, I've just been, er, otherwise engaged...

How is everyone today? 


  Then fire up Reservoir Dogs. 


 


 

oh, good choice. been a while for that one. Last Tarantino I've watched was Jackie Brown (for the 5th time). Hateful 8 is the only one that i haven't actually seen at least once. smile 
Jackie Brown is my fave Tarantino! The Elmore Leonard pedigree, that amazing cast, and my decades-long crush on Bridget Fonda made the decision for me. Of course, RD odes have Steven Wright as the DJ at the station "where the 70s never died." 


He really need to make a horror movie. 



have you seen From Dusk to Dawn?

Not necessarily a bug but a question regarding stories. Will we get the 'view changes' option back once a story has been approved because as it is at the moment, we have no way of knowing what corrections/alterations have been made to a submitted and published story?

It would be nice to be able to see what has been changed in our work, please.


Thank you.


I suppose the only way at the moment is to make a copy of what you submit and then compare it with what appears on the site.


For me, this is key. It is a record of what changes Mods have made. The IT team told me this they had been told that this wasn't a necessary feature. I don't remember any consultation on this - this sort of thing is important to writers. Can we have it back please!
for the record, the mods have made it very clear that this IS a key feature so yes, it will return, hopefully soon.

one of everything please. and keep them coming. how is everyone doing? awesome. me too. frustrating week, right? i hear you. me too. wish it wasn't like this, but it is, and it will get better. patience is the word for the week. btw, if i get snippy or sound cranky, don't take it personally (unless your name is James. then i'd take it personally lol. sorry. sense of humor is keeping me going right now. ;) ). so, who is doing fun shit this weekend? my wife is in Philly so i'm throwing a huge orgy. byost (bring your own sex toys - i ain't sharing mine). actually thinking of having a tarantino movie fest - Django and Hateful Eight. good times. ciao.

I was told a story needed editing. Unfortunately there is no edit button following the story, only a delete button. I reported this as a bug but was directed to FAQ.


This question is not in fact answered.

there SHOULD be an edit button right next to the delete button (there is on my stories). that doesn't mean there is on yours. i'll get this passed along. thanks for the report. sorry about this. it's frustrating me too.

still this old as F*ck lion still cant post songs on the new platform 

so... if you go to the camera icon, right next to the emoji icon, and click on it, it gives you the choice of adding an url or an embedded Youtube link so you should be able to post songs from youtube smile once you click, choose "external" 




Just post the url, btw, not the embedded link like i did for the first one. smile

can anyone tell me how to send a friend request now? lol where's that damn instruction manual you promised me, James! It's been a whole day, ya know! ;)

The word + Friend with a black plus is on the person's profile. Click it and an automatic friend request is sent. 


Wishing everyone a great weekend. A cold glass of lemonade would be appreciated. 

you are awesome. thanks!

Clicking on your mail link in Lushstories brings up a log in page for StoriesSpace. So we cannot get into our Lushstories mail at all.

i am having this issue as well. 
If you are logged in, you can put "https://www.lushstories.com/mailbox/inbox" in the browser address and it should take you to your mailbox. Worked for me.
Thanks, K, though as randomly as it began it just as randomly became a non-issue. lol if it rears it's ugly head again, i'll give it a shot. really appreciate it. heart 

btw, a little background knowledge. Lush 1.0 no longer exists. it became apparent that we either had to migrate to lush 2.0 or, eventually, close up shop. for those who want to return to Lush 1.0, it had a shelf life of approximately 1-2 years before it became a cherished memory. trust me, once the kinks, and i know there are many, are ironed out, you'll get used to it, relearn how to lush, and most of you will be pleased with the change. yes, it's a steep learning curve. yes, right now things are not running smooth. all we ask is you have a little faith. 

also, i get that a lot of you are frustrated. multiply that by about 4 and you know how must of the moderation team feels. dumping on them, abusing them, or just being negative about what's going on right now doesn't help. again, just chill and have a little faith that this will be an improvement and that, given a little time to relearn how things work, you'll be crusing along like you were before. how many of you joined Lush in the first place and knew how to do any of the things that you know how to do know? think of it as joining a new site. 

thanks for your patience and understanding. we're a community. we'll get each other through all this and be stronger for it. just please, remember to be kind to each other. and my mods. smile

And so far as we know, you can't put links in text in the New, Improved Lush 2.0. At least no one I've talked to knows how to do it.

Links in text is easy - it's that little icon at the top that looks like chain links, between the dot and the smiley face. Select the text you want to link, click/tap that, and the text is linked. This is a link to the first chapter of the best thing I've ever written. Or do you not have that button?


It sure would have been nice if someone had mentioned that like a week ago banghead So many assumptions made, so many frustrations induced.  

Which is why we need an INSTRUCTION MANUAL!!!!!!

Instead, we're all thrashing around, trying to figure out stuff that should be explained.

Does anyone know how to offer a friend invitation? One of my friends sent me an email (not though here) saying I blocked her. I checked, and she's no longer listed among my friends, and when I try to PM her, I'm told to cease and desist, that she's blocked me!

Anyone have any ideas?

there are obviously some unexpected issues. a lot of them. there is a team working on them. they aren't lush mods. they designers. i am assuming that it will all be worked out soon. they've done this before, only lush is kind of a unique animal that they don't have any experience with which is why the lush mods are spending a lot of their free time working with them. the lush mods are also spending a lot of their free time answering questions and trying to help people figure it out. 


what the lush mods are not doing is spending a lot of their free time writing an instruction manual since the lush mods are also spending a lot of their free time figuring out the same things you are trying to figure out. what the lush mods would probably prefer to be doing is playing around on lush and socializing during their free time, especially since most of the lush mods are also working or have families or are trying to write which is why most of the lush mods joined lush in the first place. 


now, if you want to be helpful, start compiling all the things you've learned so far and share it with others. we'll call it the JamesL Instruction manual. thanks in advance.

Quote by Magical_felix

I can post only if I login every couple minutes.

I can't do anything besides post. I can't quote, I can't post pictures, I can't edit my own posts.

I suspect that is because a few years ago you guys suspended me, unsuspended me early then tried to limit where I could post after people whined (I was only allowed to post in the think tank or some shit) then you guys removed that but I could still not access the gold lounge even though I am gold member. I never said anything because like I don't care about the gold lounge. But I think my account is all fucked up because of that. 

I see everyone else has normal forum capabilities. 

Can someone fix this?

BWA HA HA HA!


no, seriously, we'll get is sorted for you as soon as we can. It's not a unique problem, although it's not widespread.

It's a leather basketball. That's my professional opinion. 


Sure it is. Cos that fits so neatly alongside the butt plug, nipple peg and mankini emojis 😇


You know perfectly well that i own all but the mankini, so it makes perfect sense to me. 

So basically, we like the bumhole and strap on emojis too, right? 

Is that the royal 'we', my queen? ;)
