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.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
You can post here if you want. You could also report a post in your thread and ask for the poll to be deleted. Either works!
Also, the poll is now gone.
That very much sounds like something on the browser level is clearing out cookies every 5 days or so. If it is one of the major browsers, I don't think they would be doing that, but it might be one of your add-ons/extensions that is doing it. Maybe some privacy one?
I mean, it isn't the same as a button, but if you go to the IRC Help page (https://forum.questionablequesting.com/help/irchelp/), there is a link to a web portal to the irc room.
Hi! Sorry to say, but your old avatar had an exposed nipple, and as such, was NSFW. This broke Rule 2 (see https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/rules.1/), and as such, the avatar was removed.
So, there are some portions of QQ that are visible to non-logged in users (the SFW areas), and those are likely what you are seeing indexed. The other portions (the NSFW portions) are behind a login wall, so they are not indexed.
I did some more research, and that seems to be a cached offline page: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/page-could-not-be-loaded.193001/
Check out post 10 in that thread for a developer chiming in.
From what I've seen, that is almost always something that happens when the page doesn't fully load. Sometimes my wifi is a bit flakey or rather slow, and so in the middle of trying to load a page, it has to reestablish connection, and then I see this.
Thus, I'd check your side of things.
Just to give you an idea, here is the list of tags we currently have that have 'self' in them that are self insert related:
alternatehistory.com self-insert
duo self inserts
insert not self
isekai self insert
kind of a self insert
kind of self inser
kind off self insert
lots of self inserts...
