Pardon my French, but f-it, I just got 84 more notifications showing up after the notification about Violet's reply to me showed up.
What I want is to only get notified about forum posts if they are a reply to one of my posts. Otherwise, I don't need to get a notification for every post in every thread I have posted in.

Quote by MendallaTrue. On Stories Space, unless there's a sudden influx of active users and activity, the notification bell probably won't be a huge problem (save sifting through lots of 'like' notifications when users go liking and replying comments on their stories).
Agreed, which is why not being able to go through it one at a time is a problem. If they get the Watch thing fixed, my list at least should never be that long ever again. Now that I've got it cleaned out and am cleaning up my Watched threads, mine should be a lot smaller. Really, though, we should be able to control what notifications even go in there. Again, something the software I use on my own site allows on a very fine-grained level.

Sorry, I thought my friends list was ok, but it is showing a negative one from my more recent friend request that I accepted on my desktop too. I have a screenshot, but I don't want to clog the forum with a massive picture again as they don't size down at the moment.

Quote by VerityI had 400. I was happy to see notifications working again, but so far they are all forum post notifications. Not sure if I have done anything else to get a notification for. I'm now working on clearing them. I'm sure that will be improved.Quote by Violet_the_VerboseI put my phone on this morning to see 150 notifications. I thought for a minute that I'd become famous.

Messenger seems to be working now, but only if you are both online, as far as I can tell.
HI, I can't seem to publish a story. I click "unpublished " then "edit" then " submit" and story reappears, but is still in "unpublished" section with edit available. I think this has been mentioned, but when I upload a cover pic it doesn't stay. When I open story again in "unpublished" it's gone.

One of my notifications was informing me of a comment being made on one of my stories. I clicked on it and it took me to the story, but there was no new comment visible.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
My comments at this point are mostly conceptual and theme based.
It seems that the current concept is to spread everything out across the page in over-sized type and images. It seems to be a waste of space to have large images in addition to descriptors. Are images even needed? IMHO, condensing the page into "eye-sight" information would be preferable.
That being said, why aren't there any sidebars? It is much preferable to be able to cursor to a point as opposed to scrolling to a point. I honestly feel like I went to a restaurant with one of those 20-page menus with 300 different options when all I really wanted was a hamburger.
Lastly, just so I'm clear. I'm grateful that SS is still here and will work with whatever options are available in the final format.
Quote by DreamcatcherI think the lack of sidebars is because of the mobile device focus. Xenforo, the software I use, has sidebars on a desktop screen (if you use them in your layout) but when you get to a smaller screen like a phone, or zoom in real tight on a desktop, they get moved (e.g. the right side drops to the bottom). Sidebars are nice on a desktop, in other words, but just don't work on a small screen.That being said, why aren't there any sidebars?

A small glitch I am seeing that I though I should post in case others have it. I have a red 1 on my bell that absolutely refuses to go away even though I have cleared all my notifications. Not sure what's up with that. Usually, a refresh gets rid of "stuck" numbers there but this one is visible on both desktop and phone and won't go away.

Oh, and I notice that when posting on a thread we now have separate buttons for "Submit and Watch" and just "Submit". Love it. Thanks for that fix.

Hi everyone,
Early last night using my lap top I successfully posted an image from my media onto a friend's profile., but later on when I attempted to post more images on friend's profiles the function would not work - very frustrating. Is this something I am doing wrong or is it another glitch which has popped upon the system ??
Also I managed to have a brief chat with a friend on Messenger - I do hope that's a permanent fix !

The forum watch thing seems fixed which is awesome.
The notification bell only allows me to clear notifications 10 at a time currently. I was starting close to 200 notifications from all the forum stuff from before that got fixed so it's gonna take some time to clear all.
There's also an automated message I've gotten from friends on here. I'm only bringing it up because I've gotten it twice. Not sure how it got sent, but it's the following:
Subject: I'd like to know more...
Body: Oh hey there!
I've been checking out your profile and I like what I've seen, why don't you take a look at mine to see if we click?
Hope to hear from you soon. 😉
I know I'm a hot ticket item and all, but I get the feeling this is a holdover from a dating site lol.
Edit: Sometimes clicking on 'Clear All' and the individual 'X's doesn't do anything. Not sure why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

I have a general question. I tried to post a story in “Humor” but it wouldn’t let me. It said my story would have to be at least 3’000 words. I’ve had a look and can’t find many stories in humor that long. Is it something I’m doing wrong or is it a new rule? And secondly. As the new site doesn’t show my old story artwork properly. Could admin please remove all my old story pictures. At the moment they just look stupid. Regards, Verity
Quote by VerityThat's got to be a bug. 3000 words is not the minimum anywhere on here that I know of. And humourous stories are often quite short so that's the least likely category to have a minimum that high.I have a general question. I tried to post a story in “Humor” but it wouldn’t let me.

Funnily enough, I think most of my cover pictures came out okay. You should be able to remove them yourself by editing the stories, shouldn't you? Though that now seems to "bump" stories back to the front page, which is itself a change from the old site.

The minimum is supposed to be 3,000 characters, or about 600 words. Please make sure your story is at least 3,000 characters and try again, or submit it as Flash Fiction with a Humor tag. Let us know if you’re still encountering a problem.
