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.
    Dismiss Notice
  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
    Dismiss Notice
  6. A note about the current Ukraine situation: Discussion of it is still prohibited as per Rule 8

  7. The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

    forum.questionablequesting.com now unconditionally redirects all incoming HTTP requests to HTTPS. If anyone has any issues, please mention it here, or complain in the IRC channel.

    This breaks links to individual posts with http as the header.

    It shouldn't. Can you give an example?

    Exam

    Copied from my index. The bbc points to a single post using http. Clicking on the link only goes to the page, not the section.

    It redirects to https:// perfectly for me, both that link and manually going to the index and clicking the link there.

    Apparently its a safari specific bug, which only applies to http links being redirected to https.
