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.

  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.

    Clicking on the user name in the upper right of the screen should take me to the accounts page, QQ/Account/. I am instead ending up with an error. Apparently, I lack permission to view that page or perform that action, on my own profile. I am trying to find the correct field to change my psuedonym, as I have just finished doing for SB, SV, and FF.net.

    Does anyone have any clue why this is happening, and/or how to fix it?

    Also, that "Virginity" thing has randomly appeared since the last time I remember logging in. Don't know where to get rid of it, either.

    You need to have your first post approved first. It's a anti-bots feature, see? Now that it is done, you should be able to access it.

    Thank you, mr. Moderator. Though I still cannot find a user name change item. Do I have to ask one of the mods to do that instead? Mitchelltrt is my standard business username, but I was hoping to change it to a proper pseudonym instead of literally my last name and initials.

    The plan was to change my name to Jordisk.

    If you want to change your username, send a PM to an admin.

    This might be worth sticky-ing as I had the same question. XD

    I was having this same issue as well after deciding to come back to this site so I’m rather glad to have found an answer quite quickly.

    I as well had this problem, and only now considered posting about it. While I appreciate the goal of bot identification, why tie it to controls over self account modification.

    It's not uncommon for spammers to put links in their sigs.

    You just need to make a single post... like you just did before you can access your account page.

    Seems this is a first post thread at this point. Kind of weird to limit stuff like this for lurkers.

    It can be a post on any thread in the forum... or a new thread even.

    Do profile posts not work, or is there a delay?

    You need to make an actual message on the board and have it approved. Profile posts don't count.

    So try again now.

    Profile posts do not count for the 1st post thing... it needs to be an actual thread post. Like what you just did.

    Ah. So profile posts don't count, and there's a delay. (Still can't access, last I checked)

    Edit: now I can. Maybe I just had to log out and log back in?

    Sometimes, first approval don't get past the check wall. Try posting again here or elsewhere and once it stop asking for moderation approval, you should be good to go.
