The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
You can reach it using the Watched button between New Post and Threadmarks at the top of the page (you can choose whether it links to Watched Threads or Watched Forums via the drop down menu but it defaults to Watched Threads).

Disable "Generate new alerts without reading threads" in alert preferences, it got accidentally enabled by default last night. It's has been answered multiple times in the last few pages of this thread (like half the post on this page alone are about that).
@Fryst maybe add a banner for this...
That's seems go be issue specific to you, it works fine for me (either no or very small margins depending on "Change width" setting).
And the embedding of pictures from imgur has been borked for quite some time now and have nothing to do with transition XF2.
Few issues/suggestions:
1. I would appreciate an option of "New threadmarks always generate alerts" would be nice, like on SB, since currently posts by users other than OP (like most omakes for example) being trademarked doesn't seem to generate alerts.
2. The read and unread alert having...
It's an option in the preferences of on both SB and SV (right below "New threadmarks always generate alerts"), and it's really useful, especially it comes to informational post, omakes, and the like.
I assume the cog symbol at the bottom is supposed to allow to set your preferred margin width? Because it's really needed, I personally tend to browse the forum using relatively small tablet and as such really prefer no margins, while some people (probably ones using wide-screen monitors) prefer...
It's less "protect identities from tinkers" and more "protect identities by threat of extreme retaliation" (though "protecting the identities from non-thinkers and lower-end thinkers" is still an importsnt aspect as well). Also I really doubt that E88 know identities of Wards, this kind would be...
