Story Site Issues, Etc.

[rosebud]

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem....i log onto the Library and click on an area to go to and another window opens with porn. This is only happening with the Library. It doesn't happen with any other site i go to.......

Update...It's now 45 minutes later and i logged in on another computer and still
having the same problem

[gagged_Louise]

I'm having exactly the same issue tonight. Literally every time I open a page there's a pop-up window with some scam offer or porn offer - plain old malware, and those pages trying various simple devices to get the viewer to click on a "yes", "OK" or "download" button. It's something I haven't seen on the site for a very long time and never this grave.

I'm countering it by closing the pop-up window from the "staple" of windows in Chrome - I'm used to having several windows and tabs open online, so they'll stack up. Trying to close the window by clicking on any spot or nutton inside of it would just trigger some downloaded scam...But this is a real security risk, apart from making it veeeeeerry slow to navigate the site.

[pharma]

Same problem for me. Why you don't fix it, more than a year have passed!
Is there any admin? The site is great (probably the biggest site with bdsm stories in the web), and the stories are very interesting, but the tech side sucks.

[crop]

I have same problem and not getting any assistance.

[cranberry]

Hi crop. Strange. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem? I now have to save any stories I like to my favourites bar. I hope some admin person on the site can sort this problem out soon. Cheers.

[Ronrel]

I have this trouble too

[monica_snatch]

I hope some admin person on the site can sort this problem out soon. Cheers.

Good luck with that! I emailed admin a few days ago about this very issue, and as yet haven't even received a courtesy reply to advise me that they received my email!

Hello everyone. It seems that this issue re. not being able to submit stories, is a long standing one. I tried several times to submit a story, but had the same problems that were mentioned here. I've sent an email to the powers that be, telling of the fault, and have also sent them my story as an attachment, so I'll see what transpires.
Best wishes to all.

For submitting stories on the main page, are PDF files OK ?


Thanks.

[Curtis Cook]

When I attempt to post a review to a story on the stories site, I get the error message "Seems you are not login. Go to the forums to login!" I get this error message even after I have logged into the forums site in a separate tab, and even after I then refresh the stories page. I get this error message whether or not cookies are enabled.

There are a number of really good stories I've found recently for which I would like to leave reviews, so it would be great if someone would have a look at this.

- DOP


Exactly - same problem, same error message, and same frustration.

Ranjan


Same problem for me. I sent email to the web master, but never received a reply.


…and add me to the party.

This happened a few years ago, and then it took several months to resolve.


Seemes the problem is not solved till now because I do have the same problem, I can't post a review or add books to my bookshelf
And for me there is no difference from which side I start the login. <grmpf>


Same problem for me. Why you don't fix it, more than a year have passed!
Is there any admin? The site is great (probably the biggest site with bdsm stories in the web), and the stories are very interesting, but the tech side sucks.

And it's still happening. I even tried opening a new account, and it still tells me I'm not logged in. When I follow the link to the forum, the forum tells me I am logged in. This shouldn't take months (actually it's about a year and a half for THIS episode) to correct.

[slaveboy 6]

I experienced the same problem. I read a story but when I tried to review I was told I wasn't logged in, but I was.

[kittyk@kay]

At least i now know i'm not the only one

[slaveboy 6]

This is the kind of stuff that drives people away from this site. The administrator should take notice.

[Lovecutefeet]

Same issue. There are many good stories I'd like to comment. But I realize that running the site is a lot of work, and will be patient waiting for a fix.

[joshjg]

Why can't you see when new stories and update have been added any more? No post in the forum, no update on stories page. Am I missing something?

[slaveboy 6]

Just yesterday I read a story, but when I tried to review it, I was told that I was not logged on, which was absurd.

[cranberry]

I'm having a similar problem. I can't add stories to my library shelf. This happened several months ago, though I thought the problem had been fixed. Obviously not, as it's back to giving me the same message. You're not logged in, go to the forums etc. I do this, and keep going round in circles. Someone needs to seriously address this this long running re occurring problem.

[cranberry]

Hi, yes I have clicked the remember me box. Logged out, logged in etc. but still the same old problem. I agree BDSM Library is a great site and a fantastic resource, and will be even better when hopefully the various technical difficulties are sorted out. Thank you for your quick reply to my query. I really just want to add the occasional story to my shelf. Cheers.

[maxsmart]

Just want to add that I'm having a similar problem that is preventing me from reviewing a story.

[geedoch]

This is a great site and I've been with it for years. I was pleased to see it getting a new lease of life and coming back into providing up t0 date stories.
But....I can't access my bookshelf or add anything to it I get told to go to Forum and log in..but I'm logged in. Any solution folks ?

[slaveboy 6]

I don't know what it will take for the Administrator to fix that problem. Every time I try to rate a story, I get told Im not logged in, when I am.

[cranberry]

Hi max
Thanks for your reply. Like your stories by the way. Have you written any more. If so, I might get a chance to add them to my library shelf hopefully when the tech problem is fixed. Cheers.

[Aurelie.Catena]

I've had the same issue for years now. As the site seems to be starting a revival, hopefully that will soon be fixed. Posting reviews and adding stories to personal bookshelves were great functionalities.

[Aurelie.Catena]

Just a bit of FYI here. If you don't check the "remember me" box during log in system says your not logged in. ow this is NOT the only issue with the story site,,, we have just changed over to a new site server and that alone was a monumental change. We are in process of still working outt bugs but every thing has a priority.

A few bugs were fixed with the server change and more are still being worked on..

Patience is a virtue

And please keep in mind that it is still the Number one BDSM site on the net and still 100% FREE to its members!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

T

Thanks for the update, Torq.

BDSM Library is still my favourite source of kinky stories. Thanks for keeping it alive. The most important is that those thousands of stories remain accessible. Everything else is icing on the cake. From what I understand, this is now ensured for some more time thanks to this new server.

Next comes the possibility for everyone to post new stories, and it's good to know that you are working on it.

The shelves are very practical, and are unique to the BDSM Library. I'll be very happy when they come back, but this is nevertheless way less important than the first two points.

Cheers!

[SirStef]

just an FYI - I'm having the same problem of not accessing the reviews whether I "remember me" or not
cheers -SirStef

[slaveboy 6]

I just tried to review, "Taken Back To The English Ranch" and was informed I wasn't signed in, but I was.

[cranberry]

Yes, still can't add stories, to my shelf yet. Of course it's a great site. No question, though hopefully someone will one day sort this little difficulty out.
Cheers
Cranberry

[SirStef]

About story reviews -
I haven't been able to read or add story reviews for several months, even after checking 'remember me'
just a FYI to the techs. -SS

[tiffanyanyway]

I can't seem to get into my bookshelf. Everytime I click on it, it takes me back to the click forum or register page. Been going on for a few weeks.

[joshjg]

What on earth is going on with the site? No updates in almost two months again! Just as things looked like they were starting up again it has all ground to a halt. I used to be a regular visitor, now I stop by every couple of weeks not expecting any new content but crossing my fingers and hoping.

Are there website issues? Is new content not being submitted? Is no one running the site any more?

[XenMon22]

It's pretty disappointing. I know several authors who've been waiting for over half a year for their stories to be put on the site, with zero communication from the admins.

I get that real life comes first and that the site's been having tech issues, but it'd be nice if they let us know what's going on every once in a while.

[slaveboy 6]

When I first joined this site, it was because of the stories. I still read them every once in a while, but I still can't review them. And I don't even bother sending them any stories. What's the use?

[joshjg]

Three weeks later and still nothing. Last story update was 21st April.

Anyone know any other good sites that have replaced this one?

[mysterious]

This is so sad. This place use to be the best site on the web for stories, and now it's terrible. I come back each week, just hoping things have gotten fixed, but nothing. And no responses from Admins at all.

[Rocky]

Has anyone heard anything from Torq or any other Admin? It sure would be nice to get some sort of update as to what's going on. Is the site simply on autopilot now? Is there any work being done on getting stories and updates uploaded? Does anyone know what the heck is going on?

[mysterious]

3 days later an no response from an admin. I think autopilot has officially crashed in a fiery blaze. Sad to see the downfall of what use to be one of the best libraries on the web.

[Rocky]

Yet there appears to be at least one Admin around, because people are being approved for tasking society access. Sure wish someone would let us know WTF is going on here. Even if it's bad news, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to know.

[XenMon22]

Isn't Torq the only one who can update the story site? I doubt the other admins know anything.

This is just the inevitable result of having a single person in charge of basically everything. It was never a matter of if the site would die, but when.

[SirStef]

No new stories since April ! Really?

[Rocky]

I'd just like to know. I mean...is Torq dead, in jail, in the hospital? Is work getting in the way? Did he just lose interest? I mean, does anyone know WTF is happening here?

[Mright]

Where have people moved to? I have some stories that I would like to publish, but I have no idea where to do so now. My stories are a bit too extreme for Literotica :-(

[Granitron]

Aye, this is what I'd like to know. If here's not being updated, where else is good for similar stories?

[Rocky]

I've visited and uploaded to storiesonline.net, but you need a paid subscription to access all the services. You can still read, though. I've found that the users there aren't as receptive to stories I've posted there as the folks here are to the same stories, though.

[XenMon22]

I know one or two who've gone to Wattpad. deviantART is an option and has a huge userbase, but it's not really good for more extreme stuff. For that extreme stuff, there are a bunch of fantasy forums like ravishu.com that have Story sections for them.

Unfortunately, there's nothing as good as this place.

[Theruler]

Gromets Plaza | Bondage, Selfbondage, Mummification, Latex, Packaged & Erotic Stories (http://www.grometsplaza.net/main.html)


Has pretty much the same content. No search system like here but content wise it's the same.

[Rocky]

Thanks, Torq. I happened to check this morning, and saw that there were updates. Occasional status reports like this - telling us what's going on, how to submit stories and updates when the submission feature is down, etc. - is really helpful, and will help reduce consternation on the part of your patrons. Thank you again for your hard work and the status update.

[Granitron]

Yup. What they said - thanks for the update. Even "things are bit broken, but being slowly fixed" is really appreciated.

[StrictMasterD]

No updates since April will there ever be updates again?

[mysterious]

On the page, select newest stories and you'll see about 8-10 that were update in the last week.

[tiffanyanyway]

He is one of my favourite too

[valiantp]

Hi, long time reader, first time poster. Will there be updates any time soon? Would be a real shame to see this great site whither away. I'd be willing to do some work in someway if I can to help. Thanks.

[XenMon22]

There was an update a couple weeks ago, although for some reason it's not on the front page. You have to go to Library -> Newest Stories to see it.

Hopefully these updates become a trend, and not just a one-time thing.

[valiantp]

They don't all seem to be new stories. Take these two:

BDSM Library - Story: The Rape Run (http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/stories/story.php?storyid=10980)
BDSM Library - Story: The Rape Run (http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/stories/story.php?storyid=10899)

Probably just an oversight.

[valiantp]

Three weeks later and still nothing. Last story update was 21st April.

Anyone know any other good sites that have replaced this one?

Actually, new stories are being added but the front page isn't being updated. If you click on Newest Stories just beneath the search box on the left from the main stories page you can see the newest additions (September 12 as of this posting)

[suissepervert]

Yes, you're right, but before all this trouble the site was updated at least once a week. Now it can take months... That's the sad truth...

[suissepervert]

Forgot to mention:

And of course the start page had a updated announcement of the most recent update with the newest stories and updates.

[serveHER]

I cannot review any story. When I click 'review this story' it tells me to log in at the forum. When I arrive at the forum I'm logged in. Refreshing does nothing and IE and Firefox both don't work. :(

Any ideas anyone? help! Thanks!!

[tiffanyanyway]

there is still no word on the fixing of the bookshelf and reviewing a story? i see new stories have been added, so is it ok to update stories now?

[seeder21]

First. I love the site! I have been absent for a while but am back. I AM logged in BUT can't access my bookshelf. I get a note saying I am NOT logged in. Frustration! I also can't find where to "save for later".

[tomboi]

Hi! Like everyone else, I really love this site and appreciate everything... but since this thread was started, nothing has really changed. Just a couple of smallish updates to the stories.

Could we get an update, and ideally some idea of what the long-term plan is for the story site? It has basically been dead for a long time now. Is there a plan to bring it back properly so authors will start publishing like they used to?

[Erogenous Jones]

4 months since last new stories. Any idea when the next update is likely or should it be considered as active as a Norwegian Blue parrot ?

[mysterious]

It's like they want the site to come to a complete death. If you're not going to update your website or get something that's been messed up for well over a year fix, why even have this site? Why not shut the site down, or at least be honest and come out and say "Hey, thank you for all those that have submitted stories over the years. We will no longer accept new stories, but you can still search for old stories."

Stop giving false hope and these fake updates. It's so damn disappointing.

[Rocky]

No information being given out anywhere on the problems the site has been having for at least two years now. All I want is some sort of update. Is it a hardware issue? Money? Site operator not having time to spend keeping the story page up? WFT is going on? This used to be a great site...now it appears the only thing running is the message board, and that only minimally. Just an update is all we're asking for! Is that so fucking hard?

[Wolfoftheblackmoon]

Couldn't agree more with Rocky. Any info including a "Hey yeah we've seen your posts." would be appreciated.

[Rocky]

My point exactly, soulcatch. Just some information - any information - about the site would be appreciated. If help is needed - time, money, technical expertise, whatever - I'm sure there are plenty of us who could assist to get the place back up and running like it once was. However, if Torq (or whoever is allegedly running the place now) doesn't let us know, we can't help.

[Erogenous Jones]

Whilst appreciate there are limitations as to how much the site administrator(s) can do, totally ignoring the users and keeping us in the dark do not reflect well on them. Now over 5 months since last new stories submitted and 4 months since list updated.
Either tell us what's happening or admit the site is beyond saving. People will offer assistance but only if asked.

[Erogenous Jones]

Now 6 months since last NEW stories put on site (and 5 months since site story list updated). Will we ever be told what's happening or are we to accept site is now just a repository of old stories ?

[slaveboy 6]

Obviously, the folks running this site have another agenda, otherwise they'd update the story site.

[joshjg]

I checked back after 6 months away to see if there were any updates. I wasn't surprised to not see any. I probably won't check again.

[bldudesome]

I'm having issues with the bookshelf in the stories section. From a story I like, in the top right I see 3 relevant options: My Shelf, (Help), and Add this story to my BDSM Shelf. Though I am logged in here, clicking either the first and last option tell me I need to log in and refresh the page (which does nothing) and the help button is a general faq that doesn't tell me how to fix this particular problem. Can anybody help me? Thanks!

[alsosprachzar]

sorry buddy, this website has been abandoned and there is no fix for the bookshelf issue. shame, really.

[bldudesome]

Oh, well crap then. What sites do you all use now, if this one is dead? Literotica seems to delete anything that isn't tame, so where else is there to go?

[Zakfar]

I don't know what's the issue, but I"m unable to review the site. I'm logged in here at the forum, but not at the story site.

[Erogenous Jones]

Now 12 months since Index last updated despite statement about being updated and over 13 months since last new story uploaded.

Be back in 12 months to see if there's been a resurrection !

[lord_shocking]

I'm having issues with the bookshelf in the stories section.Though I am logged in here, clicking my bdsm shelf option i get a message tell me I need to log in and refresh the page (which does nothing)

[Spanks_please]

I'm having issues with the bookshelf in the stories section.Though I am logged in here, clicking my bdsm shelf option i get a message tell me I need to log in and refresh the page (which does nothing)

I am having this issue too, though it seems as though there isn't a whole lot of activity on here anymore...
