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.

  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.

    For some reason, when I went to change my avatar, I was unable to do so. I couldn't upload a new avatar, nor could I delete my current avatar.

    When I went to upload a new avatar, it wouldn't load up (nor could I click the 'Okay' button'). Same when I tried to delete my avatar, to see if I needed to do that, first. I checked the delete avatar button, but the 'Okay' button wouldn't let me click it afterwards.

    I could click the Close button though, which of course, didn't do much for me.

    Alright, so I went and attempted to change my avatar under the style you use. I could do so.

    Have you tried going directly to your Personal Details page and trying from there?

    What browser are you using, and have you tried using a different browser?

    Have you reset your computer? It sounds strange, but it can fix issues that pop up out of nowhere.

    Hrm, it's a bit odd. It wouldn't work with Chrome, but I managed it with Internet Explorer. I did get an error, complaining about the size of the picture I was using in IE, but a quick cropping of the picture fixed the issue and it went through. No change of theme needed, nor restart (although I probably should, if only because it probably isn't good to keep things running for days on a time).

    Ah well, I think that fixed something, and thanks for looking at it. I'll just put it to the Universe fucking with me, like usual.
