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.
    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.

  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.

    Just in case anyone is interested, my computer has stopped working. Can start it just fine, but it shows no reaction to any input. So I am now without one for the next few days since today is almost over then follow sunday and a holiday. Only hope I have is to find my windows 8 cd and maybe manage to fully reset the entire computer.

    I have been using W8 for around a year with zero problems actually. First time it decided to randomly become unresponsive.

    Might be input issues? Try connecting new/different keyboard and mouse?

    Sadly I have none on hand to test out. But my keyboard and mouse do not belong together, so I do not think that is the problem.

    Btw. found a recovery cd, but I cannot do anything since I cannot click on it. Kind of hilarious if annoying.

    Works again. Though the people who fixed it have no clue how they did it. :):)

    Aw, damn. PC problems always suck! :(

    First thing that come to mind is a hard drive integrity check if you're still using HDs.
