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.

    OK, I am not sure if this has been mentioned before
    I searched through this subforum and didn't find anything similar but this might be a part of the update mentioned here.

    Basically I have several watched threads that give me an alert and an email when the OP Posts.
    If I check through my alerts list I get the list of them and they get marked as read.
    But that is the only way that they can be marked as read!
    I would prefer it, if an alert would also be automatically marked as read when I read the thread and reach that point.

    As an example, I get an email mentioning that story X has updated.
    I come to the Unwatched Threads list and go at that story from my last unread post until I reach the story post and read it.
    Then I either leave because I don't have time or go through the rest of my unread watched threads.

    But the original OP alert stays as unread and looks like either I missed an OP post or got a like etc.

    Is there something that can be done?

    Alerts have to at least be looked at before they'll clear. You don't have to click each of them, but you do need to at least bring up the alerts popup. There's not a way to change that, that I know of.

    For what it's worth, on SV, alerts do clear when the relevant post had been read.

    That said, to be honest, I'm not sure which system makes more sense, anyway.
