This is a great tip on another way to use the website which I'm sure some people will prefer.
Much of it is down to personal preference, some people prefer to have the nagivation menu visible for easy access, while others perfer a mobile style drop down.
We've recently been surveying members about the interface and it seems that the majority of users (65%) find it easy to use (see below).
I agree on desktop there is some wasted blank space around the pages, however we have plans for this - a right hand 'chat related' side bar (some of you long timers may remember the popular shoutbox we used to have on the right hand side).

Ten years ago there was quite a good scene in the UK and we even organised a number of our own plus-sized parties, however these days, other than Club-Indulge, the scene is completely dead. More than that, when we have tried to organise events there seems to be very little interest.
Decipher:
I send Club-Indulge an, I think, normal question and got an automatic answer, that rudely made me feel not welcome at their event.
My experience of Club-Indulge has been equally off-putting. From their website:
club-indulge.com/faq:
I set up Indulge in protest of the creepy cattle markets that are unfortunately marketed towards plus size people. My aim with Indulge is to give people a better quality of choice and enjoy an atmosphere where confidence is built through community, rather than creepy 'admirers'.
and...
We welcome all shapes and sizes. However, guys - don't be a creep...if you just want to come and be a creep because you think fat girls are easy, you are not welcome at Indulge.
I tried twice to email them about a local event but got nothing other than an automated response. On the positive side, when the event was cancelled due to lack of interest, they did give me a full and prompt refund.
Is everyone so engrossed online these days that they've got no time for real life events? Is this the same in other countries, or is it just the UK? I'd be interested to hear your experiences.

Please accept my apologies for the down time, we had bit problems with the database which had to be re-created. Hopefully no data was lost.
The site should be working again now, all except for the video uploads which we're still working on.
We'll keep and eye on the database over the coming days to check that it's now OK.
It's good to be back!

OK! OK! Well spotted, there's a bug, lol. The recommended story maintenance script isn't working. Don't worry, I'm on it and thanks for pointing this out. There's no flies on you, haha!
P.S. ...lovable Frankenstein of a website?

There is a weighting for premium stories also which should compensate for lack of likes.
We find that on this site, as with in the wider world, the authors that become the top sellers as those that build up a following. This can take time and effort, but the benefits are worth it, and we have authors that regularly earn several hundred dollars a month.
The key is for people to get to know your work, and the most effective way for this is to upload some short stories for free. If members enjoy your free stories, then it's much less of a risk for them to purchase a premium story, and in our experience once their hooked on an author's work, they'll look out for the notifications whenever you upload something new.
Of course we're always happy to discuss with authors about improvements to the website and how to better promote work. C00kie is currently collecting feedback and ideas on this for future developments.

Generally the stories are sorted by 'recommended'. Each story is given a score and higher scores are shown first. Scores are based upon things like, whether the story has a thumbnail and description, number of chapters, number of likes, date created etc.

Oops sorry about that. Thanks for pointing it out, this should now be fixed.
