• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • 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.

  1. XF2 transition feedback

    The problem with it being off by default is that there are probably some people who do want it to be on so just turning it off for everyone would be awkward.

  2. XF2 transition feedback

    Now that I'm actually reading some stories: in Light theme, at least, the dark bars on top of the posts [EDIT: why are they there anyway?] catch so much attention that the light gray bar with the white (?!) text signifying a threadmark is almost unnoticeable in comparison. It used to be very...

  3. XF2 transition feedback

    Hadn't realized it but I think it's gone, yes. Kinda miss it now

  4. XF2 transition feedback

    Thanks for that reminder by the way! I thought I've changed my preferences but apparently forgot to save them.

  5. XF2 transition feedback

    I sincerely apologize, I complained about a minor detail and they changed it but only in that theme which I didn't end up using anyway for other reasons

  6. XF2 transition feedback

    You're already on XF2 and this page is already working. The migration had completed a few days ago (in terms of software change, there's still some design messes to work out).

  7. XF2 transition feedback

    Unfortunately it seems to have been mainly a security issue.

  8. Soliciting style requests

    Those are still there, just a little harder to notice now.

  9. Soliciting style requests

    ...ugh, this is actually mildly inconvenient because the rest of that theme is a lot more unreadable in contrast terms, so now I need to choose my position in the tradeoff. But I looked at my old-style tabs and it was apparently always like that but nowhere near that hard to read? Could have...

  10. XF2 transition feedback

    The old software was very old and said to be very insecure, so a backend update was required, and they turned out to be sufficiently incompatible that making the frontend look remotely like the old style would take ages if even theoretically possible at all. If that's any consolation stuff got...

  11. Soliciting style requests

    Tried out both and for the moment I find Light to be a slightly better representation of the old style than Lightened is. Neither feels particularly close but that seems to be more of a "shapes are all wrong" problem. (Notable inconvenience in both: quotes are sufficiently darker for text in...

  12. XF2 transition feedback

    Which editor and which browser? Works just fine for me (the normal browser dropdown, including Paste) but that might be a Firefox thing and/or a default-editor thing.

  13. XF2 transition feedback

    Bit of a long comment here because tons of quotes on stuff I mostly agree with. +1. But yes, not sure if the new setup supports this. Only divided from the post proper from a nearly invisible pixel-wide line. If it's text it's at least in a different font, but if there are spoilers... If I...

  14. Soliciting style requests

    Yet another vote for "as close to the old Light Responsive as possible, I have no idea what that means in terms of actual available styles". I know there's been a lot of dark themes added but I don't want a dark theme? As it stands I'll probably have to take a break from QQ until the design is...

  15. Moderation Applications for 2024 (Applications Closed)

    Sometimes I basically agree with this and sometimes I'm hoping that new mods would relax some of (what feels like) the harsher rules. AFAIK there's been cases where omakes on old stories had gotten the story threads locked, and the anti-politics rule makes posting in insufficiently neutral...

  16. Built To Last

    ...I wouldn't have expected Reliabuilt encryption to be particularly easily breakable? OTOH maybe someone slipped them the passwords.

  17. Built To Last

    My headcanon is that Brockton Bay corresponds to the OTL region of Hampton Harbor in New Hampshire (IOTL split between the towns of Hampton, Hampton Falls, Hampton Beach, and Seabrook), which has a nice narrow channel in the Hampton Beach area. That said, Newburyport is also a common...

  18. Built To Last

    I basically meant that RCB might well be sympathetic herself (maybe not, hard to say...) but her own higher-ups at Cauldron are likely to see it as ENE trying to get around their funding issues by asking for external support which isn't allowed because of the experiment. I'm not sure how it...

  19. Built To Last

    ...I have a feeling Becky would be interested but also that Becky's higher-ups would try to make sure that everyone except the ENE gets those. Whatever insane reason they come up with for doing that.

  20. I'm not getting emails from QQ

    Thanks! I'm not sure how I missed that. I checked all 20 pages of my watched threads and just two threads were set to anything but "Email" - and one of them is locked, so maybe it had to do with that, though I've probably watched both since 2016 so maybe I was just more sloppy back then.
