• 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.

The site will be down from approximately Noon, CDT (1600 UTC) to 8 PM (with the possibility of a longer outage should the migration be slower than expected. Yes, there's a banner for this. People who exclusively use mobile in the vertical position won't have seen it. If you want to talk about it for the next 16 hours, this is the place.
 
To be clear, that's an anticipated 8 hours of downtime?
 
Remember to light sacred incense and pray fervently to the servers Machine Spirits during the transition. This sounds like a joke but I did exactly that when helping out with a similar thing and it cut the downtime by an hour.

ejem What kind of incense do you think a government notebook (one that the government gives away for schools) would like?
 
Pray to the machine God for a smooth upgrade.
 
April fool's was last month.
 
I expect much growing pains.

Edit:
Hmmm, the alert notifications don't highlight unread messages anymore. :(

NVM, apparently there is just bad color contrast in dark mode. Still a bit hard to see in light mode as well (miss the orange).

I just want it know that I hate all of this and your moms a ho. How do I get my shit to look right now lol. Also nice warning that literally none of us got nor making it so we can get access or a notification at all. You know the last time I used my password here??
 
Welcome back QQ.. whats the too small to read button on the top right supposed to be? Just another home one now
 
It's aliiiive!

Now we just need decent styles. The dark style is ugly as hell... even if it's better than the literal flashbangs of the light modes.

Grey on grey on grey is a really awful look. We need a better dark theme, stat. :p
 
Hey is there a bugs thread yet or are we just gonna use this one? Becasue the email updates for a thread seems to just be an email sumarized as "Hey fucker the thread updated" instead of, say, including any information at all such as the post involved which was the default so far as I know.

e: nevermind found it

I care slightly more about getting the top bar of options to be more like SB and SV, because being able to access unread watched threads in a single click is very important, but yeah this dark theme is kinda ass.
