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.

  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.

  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.

    As per the name of the title I would like to suggest that saved drafts last longer than 24 hours... and actually works properly for that matter.

    I was originally going to go on a lengthy spiel about my experience with it, but decided it might be the best to keep it short and concise and simply make the suggestion and leave at that.

    So my suggestion is; Remove the "save/restore last draft" feature completely or simply increase the length drafts are stored... or in the least, indicate how long the draft will be "saved" before disappearing.

    Maybe I am failing to spot something ridiculously obvious but I do feel that clarity about knowing how long you have until you may lose many hours of work for an update you forgot to back up would be somewhat convenient.

    It's true the state of drafts currently isn't great. I haven't looked into that bit of the software too deeply; I can take a look when next I do maintenance.
