• 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.

DNS NXDOMAIN through Comcast servers

I noticed that the forum wasn't working for me on my windows system, so I logged into my linux system to check it. I noticed something funny - google's DNS servers correctly resolve it, but comcast's servers don't.

Here's the condensed version of the problem:

cosoco@host:~$ nslookup forum.questionablequesting.com 8.8.8.8
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: forum.questionablequesting.com
Address: 192.73.235.19
cosoco@host:~$ nslookup forum.questionablequesting.com 75.75.75.75
Server: 75.75.75.75
Address: 75.75.75.75#53
** server can't find forum.questionablequesting.com: NXDOMAIN


Right now, I'm working around this by adding a line in my /etc/hosts.

I'm a comcast subscriber, BTW.
 
So switch to Google DNS on your windows machine? Alternatively, OpenDNS is an option.

QQ DNS has been funky tonight, don't know why. Lots of people have had trouble with it in the past 10 or so hours.
