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.

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

The alerts on watched threads appear to be hit and miss?

    I mean, I know some of them just haven't updated, but a couple I haven't gotten updates in at all and they've been updating every week or so, and only one has consistently given me alerts when new posts are in the thread. I don't know if this is a thing with my settings, settings for the threads in question, or a bug, so just kind of posting here so someone can help me figure it out?

    IIRC if you've gotten an alert from a thread and you don't click on it you won't get more alerts from that thread until you do. So if somebody not the OP responds and you ignore it, then later the OP updates, you won't get an alert from the update.

    If it's not that (and your alert preferences are set to alert you when someone posts in a watched thread) then IDK.

    I sincerely hope that the alert options get fixed to only give alerts when the OP posts. This is a fanfiction/questing forum, not a regular discussion forum.

    I wish SV would release that addon already.

    SB has it, as well, so it's not SV-exclusive. I was assuming that they had just messed with the alert settings, or something.

    No, it's an addon. Xon made it, and he does the tech side of both, which is why both of them tend to get the same features.
