Triode88 Posted April 4, 2008 at 03:09 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 at 03:09 PM Thanks for the infomation. I have tried the link & dod not manage to sign up. It always states that the server is busy? Is there any other way to get sign up? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yf_chen Posted April 15, 2008 at 06:51 PM Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 at 06:51 PM You can do it via text message. If you're not in China, sign up online during off-peak hours of 11pm to 9am Beijing Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaoWai Posted May 23, 2008 at 01:26 AM Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 at 01:26 AM I used the url suggested here,received a registration number and downloaded the English version of QQ (2005, Vista compatible). However, when I launch the QQ program and get the sign-in screen (see attachment), after I input my QQ number and password (selected as part of the program download process), I cannot actually sign in to QQ. Also, the sign in screen cannot be expanded, in case there are other buttons which I cannot see in the reduced view. Any suggestions are welcomed.

BrandeX Posted May 24, 2008 at 10:53 AM Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 at 10:53 AM I used the above site to register a QQ address, but rather than using the official client which is reportedly malware at best, I connect (with all of my IM's) through Pidgin. http://www.pidgin.im/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim.sheng Posted June 2, 2008 at 02:20 PM Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 at 02:20 PM QQ sucks. Forget about it. I suspect that they let the system show busy intentionally, and give "alternative" way via mobile phone text message to make money from signing up.

blogtim Posted June 4, 2008 at 10:56 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 at 10:56 PM I concur, QQ is scary stuff. I ended up getting my QQ number from the Chinese site (http://haoma.qq.com) as English signup was completely non-responsive*. I would highly recommend NOT downloading the QQ client. I also went with Pidgin. Re: QQ. After trying about 3-4 times*, I finally got the QQ client to download (server busy?). I distinctly unchecked a number of "extras" including the "so-so" toolbar. When I actually did the install, sure enough, it installed the "so-so" toolbar among other things. My computer is pretty tightly locked down. As soon as I launched, I started getting pop-ups all over alerting me of downloads from strange places. I immediately uninstalled - though this was not without errors. I ended up manually clearing out the startup folder, desktop, etc. Finally, I rebooted, sighed a sigh of relief, launched my browser only to find... qq.com. Sigh. Enjoy!

Thijs_Shenzhen Posted July 12, 2008 at 07:55 AM Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 at 07:55 AM I agree that older (English) versions of QQ were not so good, but I think the latest versions are very good. For example Tencent Messenger 2008 is very good. Lightweight, fast en to-the-point. The new QQ2009 also looks very good. If you need help signup a qq account, check my website.
