We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.
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.
Make a post anywhere on the main forum (which creating this thread did), get it Approved by a mod (hi), then wait ~20 minutes for the system to update. So, just wait.
When you quote someone, there’s a bit that says ‘member: [Numbers]’. The numbers are your user number, which, in your case, means you were the 176,379th account to be created on QQ. Biigoh was the 11th, while Ultima was the 905th.
Giving it a look, it’s not that SB doesn’t sort the tags alphabetically, and then display the first three. It’s that, now they have different ‘categories’ of tags, it sorts category A alphabetically, then category B, etc.
So, at a glance, it can look like it isn’t sorted alphabetically...
There isn’t a way people are supposed to use tags. They can optimise for search, use joke tags, set expectations for the thread, not use them at all, etc.
The idea where OPs can choose which three tags are displayed in the thread listings sounds good. @alethiophile and @ultima333 would know if...
(That isn't actually how it happened. Biigoh just moved a post they made much earlier in another thread to this one, and edited its contents to what it is now. Can see the move in the 'moderator actions' part of 'thread tools'. Racoons like me can do it too.)
As long as you have the picture saved-
-you can always change your avatar to it.
Relatedly, I just noticed my last post where I shared this image had the image untraceably replaced with something else of unknown origin. Tanukia Jones showing Indiana how it’s done.
Huh. Well, how you'd usually save it doesn't seem to work, assumedly because it's the default no-avatar pic, rather than one you've selected.
Here's the pic:
Save that.
Edit: Wait, lol, ignore me. Biigoh has already posted it in this thread, as Pyro quoted.
Edit 2: What even is that pic in...
Yeah, at this point, next steps would be determining whether SB and SV are experiencing the same bug.
If yes, then the problem is with the add-on, and I’m not sure we can do anything but file a bug report and keep updated to the latest version. If no, then the problem is on our end, so we’ll...
I'm always on my iPhone, and I don't think I've ever encountered that. I'm not sure I ever really use the dropdown menu though.
Not very tech-minded, so can't really help. Maybe @alethiophile or @ultima333 have an idea of what's up with that, or other technically inclined users.
I’m not sure what you mean.
So, by ‘dropdown menu’, I assume you mean this:
Then you click one of the threadmarks, taking you to a chapter:
You read it, but at some point, either while reading or scrolling down the discussion below, you are forcefully bounced back to the top of the thread...
The Creative Writing subforum. Edit: Ninja-ed.
If you ever want to include any NSFW elements in the future - the definition of which is near the bottom of the rules - you can just report the opening post of your thread with the move request.
