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.
    Dismiss Notice
  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.
    Dismiss Notice
  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.

  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

tabs work in signature preview, but not in the actual signature.

    I'm not sure which part of this behavior is a bug. Either tabs are supposed to work in signatures, but don't, or they aren't supposed to, and therefore shouldn't work in the signature preview either.

    ...Most likely it's the latter.

    Signatures are edited in the same format that posts are, which is why you have the Preview option in the first place - as opposed to, for instance, posting a profile comment or making a Report. The reason for this is so that more text formatting options are available when creating / editing your signature - there's a lot of things you can't do in a Profile text or Report, starting with just about everything that ain't plaintext or a bare URL that auto-hyperlinks.

    That Preview treats the signature like a standard post (or more specifically, treats it the same as hitting the More Options... button on a standard post), without the native restrictions on Signatures. Those restrictions only come into effect when the edit is actually confirmed.

    As for the 'restrictions'? Content tabs are a relatively new feature, so signatures simply aren't coded to support them (or probably a few other things).
