  • An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
  • 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.

Styling requests

For all I know it's because my browser or an adblock plugin or something just doesn't get along with the specific cookie QQ uses to track this, but I'm not gonna start dropping those for QQ's sake and this sort of setting shouldn't need to be a cookie. I'm signed in already.

I'm looking for the wide margins, so the posts are only taking up like... the middle half, maybe two thirds of the screen? I want it to stick in narrow mode.
I'll always recommend using an addon like Stylus for controlling problematic website UI. I'm not excusing the problems QQ has with their display config, but I haven't thought about it in ages because I can just set it to what I want it to be.

This is from my layout overrides:
CSS:
/* Personal max width for site content. */
.p-body > .p-body-inner {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 1170px;
}

Set the max-width value to whatever you want it to be, and you don't need to worry about what the site toggle does.

Note: I do a ton of customization to suit my preferences (I've got 8 separate sets of rules that apply to QQ, including converting it to the Halloween style theme), and I certainly don't expect others to go that far, but if you can manage, then these small annoyances are often easy to fix.

So, sort of question and suggestion in one I guess? Question if it is already a thing and suggestion if it isn't. Anyways. I'm wondering if there is a way to disable text color on other people's posts so I only see default text color. I'm trying to read though some stories and the author uses bright colors for things but I'm in light mode so I can't read the text unless I highlight it and that's starting to get very annoying when every thing the characters says and half of what they do are bright yellow.
Like this one. Here's a CSS override for this issue, which will only apply to user posts (but not signatures):

CSS:
/* Don't allow author colors */
article.message-body span.fixed-color {
    color: inherit !important;
}

Absolute lifesaver, thank you so much.
 
I believe this is the correct place, but please redirect me elsewhere if I am wrong or need to make a new thread for this.

As discovered here, the default available styles have a couple of issues. Dark mode prevents the use and visibility of the Spoiler Invisible Text button, and the Blackened Styles with the exception of High Contrast also have Spoiler Block colors that are extremely close to the normal background color. This makes them difficult to use.

I'd also like to note that it's easy to miss the Spoiler Invisible Text button if you're not looking for it. Is there a way to make it a default setting, or maybe highlight the button in a bright and eye-catching rainbow since it only appears for posts with invisible text present?

Thank you in advance for any help or solutions that may come from this!

I cannot even tell you how many times I have completely missed an in-line spoiler because of exactly this.

Please, for the love of god, seconding fixing this. Make in-line spoilers on Blackened like, an actual black instead of a single half-shade off the regular background of the posts.

I've got no idea how it could be fixed, but it's absolutely a usability problem.
