  • 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.

  • 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.

XF2 transition feedback

Reader mode
I suspect but am not sure this is related to XF2, but...

I can't search for my own posts in a thread anymore. I know how to find ALL my posts from my profile, but sometimes I want to look for a specific post I made in a specific thread, but I can't search my own account anymore. Is there a way around this? Am I missing something?

It's a known bug, that's been happening for a couple months now. It appears to concern specific userhandles (a great many of them at this point), with little rhyme or reason otherwise.

Are you going to the thread and searching for by-user there? Because that's been working fine over here.

So you know, it looks like it is only the autocomplete that is broken for some usernames. If you manually type it in and search, it still functions as desired.

On another XF2 forum which I use regularly, there's a similar breakage for the names of users who lock their profiles ("private" / can't be viewed by randos).

Is that related to this autocomplete issue?
 
I am once again asking that from the watched threads list, when you click a forum a watched threads is in, it takes you to that forum (the previous behavior) rather than filtering your watched threads to that forum (the current behavior).
At least as an option, please. You can already filter by forum using the filter button.
 
I'm not sure if it counts as a bug, but I still ran into something that made me tilt my head in confusion, regarding the ignore feature. I was going through a thread, when at the bottom of the page, I noticed the "Show Ignored Content" button appeared at the bottom of the page. This made me do a double take, because I didn't have anyone on ignore at the time, and when I clicked the button and looked over the posts on the page, I didn't notice any differences.

It turns out, what happened is, I didn't have any users on ignore, but I forgot that I did have a single thread on ignore, and that thread popped up in the Similar Threads box at the bottom of the page, and that was what triggered the "Show Ignored Content" message. It's kind of weird that something like that is enough to count as ignored content in a thread, as opposed to just a forum or subforum page or the like.

I've been having a recurring issue with the page width resetting. It's not every time I go to a new page, but it's really frequent and it's getting on my last nerve. I've done some looking and people have been complaining about this since the shift over and there doesn't seem to be any response. Can we get a toggle to set what our default page width is in our profile so it's not constantly defaulting to the worst option? Or hell, how many people actually use the wide option at all? Its nearly painful to read to me and I don't even get why it would be an option.

I've been having this issue as well. I also have the normal Writing section collapsed, and when this happens that also goes back into the unfurled state. It's moderately annoying but easy to fix. I have a larger monitor and screen resolution, so full width is not fun to read on.

I remember having this issue a lot back during the early days of the XF2 transition, and I think it may have happened every time the forum team is making updates to the styles and whatnot, though I can't prove that. After things settled down and were stable I didn't have it for months, but I've seen it a lot in the last week or so. If updates are indeed being made lately that would explain why it's suddenly resurfaced.

I searched for the word ignore and I don't think I saw anyone reporting the exact same thing... If you have a story ignored but it was the most recently responded to thread in a forum, it still shows up next to the forum name on the homepage.

Well, given that I'm posting in the quote thread…
 
It would be nice if the checkbox for that would appear without needing to hit the post button once first. It's almost never relevant, and the people who should be listening to it don't considering the amount of times I still see people quote entire chapters.
 
I'd like a way to download an entire thread with only a few clicks. For example I am currently downloading the individual pages of 'With this Ring', but since there are over 100 pages this will take a while. Is there a way to select an entire thread, and the forum packages it up as a zip file then lets me download that zip file?

I think you can use the fanficfare plugin for calibre for that

WebToEpub can do this, however it involves an additonal step. Inside the extension, open up "Advanced Options" and set "Manually Select Parser" to "Xenforo Batch Post Parser".

It may not have the best name, but it does the job.
Random note: That parser was actually made BECAUSE of "With this Ring". It was literally in the github request.

And yes, epubs are basically just zip files, you can access the html files by just opening it up.

The table doesn't have the merge cells function in the XF2 default Rich Text Editor. Sadge.
 
Is there a way to transfer accounts from QQ to XF2, or should I just make a new account there?

XF2 isn't a new website. It's just a website framework that QQ already migrated to several months ago. Not to put too fine a point on it, but you are currently posting on the XF2 version of QQ right now as we speak.
 
Do you mean just the formating or the entire site like everything on here will be shut down? ( what I mean by that is everything being moved to a new location like a new domain name?)

becuase there's a few old stories on here that I like that probably won't get converted over.
