• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • 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.

Inconsistent New Thread Emails

Since Saturday, I've received notifications about 13 new threads in my Watched Forums (NSFW Questing & NSFW Creative Writing), but only received emails for 6 of them. I had noticed that I had received an alert, but not an email, about [NSFW] Bespoke Fucks by Nugar; so I double-checked my thread settings to make sure I was set to received emails, then didn't get an email about [NSFW] Fires Of Industry [RWBY]; so I unfollowed and refollowed the forums, then didn't get an email about [NSFW] A C'tan in a World of Bloody Evolution.

Now, I haven't received any New Thread emails since [NSFW] Alter (R34 Economy/Warhammer 40K SI) on Monday morning, so it might currently just be broken; but over the weekend, I received alerts about 9 new threads but emails about only 5 threads.

My New Reply emails seem to be functioning normally. I've checked my spam folder. I received emails from both threads and missed emails from both threads. I don't see any connection between thread authors (for example, I neither follow nor ignore any of them) or thread content (such as images or word length).

Minor Update: Just got an email, so it's 7 emails to 14 alerts since Saturday.
+ Another alert with no email. 7/15
+ 8/16
+ 9/17
+ 9/18
+ 10/19

Major Update: seems fixed. That week was as bad as it got: it slowly improved over the next week, and for the last few days, I haven't missed anything.

I've also had this issue with new post emails in the last couple of weeks. I've checked my spam folder and my follow settings.
 
I believe QQ emails in general are becoming unreliable. This is something of a hard problem to solve, but I'll look into it.
