  • 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.

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

XF2 transition feedback

Reader mode
I am once again requesting that edit time be extended to five minutes.

Is it actually not a feature in the second Xeno version or something?

I can actually see that, and hate it.

Imagine developers adding ability to use eggplant and sweat emojis but removing the ability to alter post-edit timeframe alteration and patting themselves on the back for a job well done.
 
Do we actually have 60 seconds to ninja edit a post? Or is the time instead measured by the minute changing? Because I've had times where I realize that I need to correct a typo immediately after posting and do so, but don't manage to make the timeframe.

Clicking on tags still doesn't work properly.

That is the intended XF2 behavior, SB works the same way. The XF1 behavior is not planned to be restored, and is likely impossible to anyway.

...why is XF2's intended behavior to worsen discoverability?

If you want all results across the site for a given tag, use the Advanced Search function and enter the tag(s) you're after.

I've been going to the front page and doing basic title searches, since that includes tags anyway.

Either behaviour is a perfectly reasonable default. If I click on the 'Worm' tag while reading a Worm fic, I presumably want more Worm fics, not Worm quests, or discussions of Worm canon, or threads about managing worms in your garden.

Now, in the case of QQ in particular, searching everywhere is generally a more useful default, because a) we only really have two types of distinct content - fics and quests - rather than having a lot of forums with radically different types of content that wouldn't interest the users of the others, and b) we have the artificial distinction of the SFW and NSFW forums within each of those two categories. But of course, XF2 wasn't designed for QQ specifically.
 
I had a login problem, where, I logged in, but trying to click on a NSFW story from my bookmarks gave me an error message saying I need to log in. I logged in again and it fixed itself, but it was weird.

It's an old glitch from the before times, I believe. Before the switch, if you were long into forum(dot)QQ and then switched to QQ without the forum(dot), you had to log in again because computer shenanigans I don't understand.

Cookie got scoped to the subdomain instead of the domain.

questionablequesting.com =/= forum.questionablequesting.com

Sort of.

It's ancient lore of the before times. Oversimplifying, it's kind of like having two ways to enter one house. Even if you unlock one, you still have to unlock the other door to use the other door. But it's the same house you're entering either way.

You likely logged into/use one consistently, but the story you bookmarked was one you made when using the other. So even though you were logged into your usual, the other one still needed a login to get in.

Novelupdates has the same with the forum serving as the actual main entrance to continue the metaphor, logging you in to both while you need to log in to the forum again even after logging into the main site

You have a minute-long window to edit your post before EDITED shows up in the bottom right of the post, but that used to be a five minute window after the upgrade.

I'm curious why that is and if it can/can't be changed.

We still don't have emails that contain the post's content back. @alethiophile, can you give us an update?

AFAIK that's either illegal or functionally impossible, unfortunately. But not an admin so can't comment for sure.

(...other than "if it was possible it would have been added back ages ago because it's, like, THE most asked for feature")

I still get email alerts that contain the contents of the post from other forums that use XenForo, so it clearly isn't impossible.

Even if this being a NSFW forum makes it illegal or something it would be nice to have that confirmed instead of having to wonder where that feature went.

It is possible, I still had a notification email from QQ back in 2020 that has the full content of said post.

It was a removed feature for some probably legal reason.

That's XF1, the changeover was this year. This got removed in the changeover and hadn't been added back since.

AFAIK SpaceBattles have been on XF2 for a while though so if they can do it then maybe QQ can too. We will keep hoping, then.
 
now, do not take my words for pure fact as it's been a while since I looked into/asked about it, but iirc it's a combination of that being a feature of an add-on XF1, that was not portable, and the feature that is used in XF2 is not only a paid addon, but it also doesn't mail you the full reply, but only the first few sentences/paragraph or so, as you can see from SB mails.......aaaaand iirc there's also possibly a legal issue if it was restored? That and/or stuff in the mails being possibly blacklisted by mail providers
And considering even the addon being used by SB is obviously limited, there's the obvious question of why even bother with paying/adding more stuff into the server code that gives very little useable info to all users
