The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
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.

These two please. And if I could enter the monthly Humble Choice raffle? Edit: Also Civilization III if the old keys request limit is now decoupled from the new entries.
Also the forum ate the Kingdom Come Deliverance text, turning it into an emoticon.
As usual, thanks for putting this on!
Yeah, I still have only two major problems with the update:
1. The edit display timer is far too tight. Three to five minutes is far more sensible.
2. Emails still don't display any content, which causes major problems. I don't need the whole 20k word story post in my email, but at least...
