1. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  2. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  3. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  4. If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.

  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

    1. I often found my watched thread became unwatched without my input. Is there a list of watched thread and when I click watched link?

    2. Why I don't get alert when followed author post new thread?
    (In this particular case is member:Vagabond)

    Dunno about the first one, but the second is because QQ ain't as up to date as SV and SB. (I think)

    For the first one, I'm not clear on what the problem is, but is the concept of "all watched threads" helpful? On your watched threads page, there should be a bit of text that says "There may be more to view", and that's a link to the all watched threads page.

    I know the "unread" state times out after a while (I believe it's about a month), but I don't know if that's what you're talking about.
