Does anything on this damn site work?

[PublishedEroticaWriter]

I can't check forum because it keeps telling me to login when I have already logged in. And the followers don't show up. I get notifications that people are following me but none appear.

This site works fine, it's free to use so stop complaining

Open a thread, preferably one that you've already posted in. Then go back and refresh. That generally does the trick.

Clicking/tapping on new posts always seems to do the trick for me

For me, I always login, it goes to the homepage and then still has the login option in the top right corner. I just click the title of the first thread (which then sends me to the last post in that thread). I scroll back up and voila, I can see where messages show up and such.

Still says zero. No amount of clicking threads or refreshing does anything.

I had to start a brand new account because my story was stuck in pending for over three months. And this new account doesn't work right either.

Just did that. Didn't work.

Yeah, it's a pain. This site would be better if they got rid of the 'update.' Everything worked fine before. Then they decided to make sure it stopped working for half the people.

Maybe it's not the site. Maybe it's your browser.

No, it doesn't currently. There are several bugs that have yet to be patched. Not everybody experiences them, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Literotica utilizes caching to varying extents, so it can take days for some things to display the updated values. The last time I favorited a story, I think it took three days to show up on my Favorites list.

That's because the bugs are not in the account, but in the story submission process. I have one story in Pending that I've been trying to get through the process since September, but I've also had two stories published smoothly this month.

In my experience, when the login process gets wonky, you need to delete all of the Literotica cookies in your browser. That lets you login cleanly, with no remnants from your broken login session hanging around.

If you hit the New Posts page, your login will then get picked up. This is why I usually go to the New Posts page before logging in, so that it’s the first thing I hit after logging in.

I’m not defending the bug or pretending that it’s working fine, just sharing a workaround for whatever it’s worth. For me, it’s worth employing and does mitigate this particular problem.

There an echo in here? Lol

Careful about being critical about a dysfunctional browser. I always get defensive when my browser is criticized.

Empathy much?

Nope. Just tried a different browser. No change.

It's been 4 days since the last person followed me. While that's not long... And favorized and following someone are two different thing. I can't say I know how log each one takes now.

Thanks. that fixed the login issue. I don't suppose you know a fix for the pending and followers issues?

Sorry, but no. As I mentioned, I still have a story stuck in Pending. I did have a second, but once I missed the Winter Holiday contest deadline, I pulled it for next year.

The followers issue may not actually be an issue. Literotica tells you when somebody starts following you, but it doesn't tell you when they stop. It may be a simple case of them meaning to click on your name but accidentally hitting the follow link instead. You have no way of knowing that they then immediately unfollowed you, other than them not showing up in your list of followers.
