• The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
  • A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.
  • Staff is working to deal with the problem of synonymous tags. See here for more information and to suggest tag mergers.
  • 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.

Hi everyone. So I'm not sure how to contact the admins on this site yet so I figured that since this is apparently a XenForo bug, this would be the best place.

Both SpaceBattles and Sufficient Velocity have encountered a bug or a hack where threads are suddenly unwatched. I don't know if this has happened on QQ or not because of its relatively small population, but it is worth checking out.

Check your watch lists and see if anything is missing.

Sudden unwatch, okay. I'd heard of the thing where there is a "unwatch all threads" button (for some ungodly stupid reason), but this sounds like it is something else.

Yeah. Apparently people are just bringing up the websites, not even logging out, and threads are just unwatched. It seems centered around the various Writing forums, but that may simply be because people check those fairly often so it's easier to notice when a thread you are watching updates and didn't tell you.
