Your mama may have had eyes in the back of her head, but our admin team just can't see everything at once. It takes a village to make sure TVTropes is running the way it should, so when it comes to spotting tech snafus, dreaming up a better digital mousetrap, or just diagnosing plain old asshattery, the quicker you let us know something's up, the quicker we can address it. See a bug? Point to it and we'll squash it. Have idea for a new feature? Post in the Tech Wishlist.
NOTE: Do not post duplicate bug queries, please check existing queries to see if your issue has already been reported and then comment on it.

closed Stretching Avatars
All avatars that aren't exactly 100x100 in size are stretched. It becomes apparent once you change your avatar in your profile.
closed Youtube Video Embedding Not Working
New forum posts using the "[[youtube:(video ID)]]" markup do not work properly.
closed Sticky website header loses its contents when I scroll down
At the top of the page, it has the links " Tropes Media Indexes Forums "
When I scroll down, only the two random buttons remain!
closed Forum navigation footer missing from thread pages.
The thread pages have lost the navigation footer that allowed returning to the parent forum without scrolling all the way back to the top.
closed Inconsistency in Thread Watchlist button in forum navigation header
On thread pages, it correctly says "Thread Watchlist".
But on some pages, it says "Watch List" instead, creating confusion with the wiki page watchlist.
closed Trying to edit a reply on this page deletes it.
I first added to one of my posts by posting a reply, because there is no edit button for queries. But then, I tried to add to my reply using its edit button, and instead it completely disappeared.
closed 'Wide Load' scroll bar cuts off part of the page
Solip Schism pointed out that when you switch to 'Wide Load' part of the page gets cut off by the scroll bar.
(Added a somewhat more meaningful thread title - Septimus)
Edited by SeptimusHeapclosed Page content suddenly invisible
I just finished an edit on the Kingdom Hearts Enemy Creatures page, and when I got back to the page all the content was gone. I clicked "edit" again to make sure I hadn't deleted it by accident, and the full content still seems to be there. It just isn't being displayed for some reason.
Edited by SeptimusHeapclosed Night Vision mode display bugs
1. Many text elements, such as on the profile screen, the body of any PM, and the Send button when writing a new post, are almost or entirely unreadable. 2. When viewing a topic, the background color for the page you're on is the same as the background color for any other page, making it impossible to know which page is currently being viewed.
closed Wide mode is ever so slightly too wide.
Wide mode touches the left and right edges of the screen, instead of having a bit of padding like before. This means that my scrollbar covers a slight amount of the content. Please can you pad the sides of the site elements (ie the page boxes, and the iconography in the top bar)?
closed Replies cannot be seen on this page (or any YKTS-like page, it sounds)
Whenever I post a reply, it is visible, but it disappears when the page is refreshed. The "Toggle Children" button does nothing.
closed YMMV Pages now show the YMMV bullet on them.
The bullet that normally shows up when a YMMV Trope is posted to the main page. It's really distracting, so I figured I should bring this up as soon as possible.
closed In night vision, alt text columns have colours that are too close to each other.
There's a hint that they're two different colours, but they're too close together to really differentiate from each other.
closed ATT and others default to "Date Descending"
Ask The Tropers, Trope Finder, and similar pages (including this one) now default their sorting to "Date Descending", which is largely useless as it shows posts from 2010. One must manually toggle "Recent Activity" in the Sort dropdown menu every time to return the page to its pre-redesign functionality.
closed The text shrinker formatting no longer works.
[—— TEXT —-] no longer shrinks the text down.
closed Accents
When editing a page, all the accents turn into their HTML equivalent ; for instance é' becomes '&_eacute' (without the '_'). Editing it back to accent s doesn't fix anything, as it's back to HTML the next time. It's horribly inconvenient, especially on the French pages, which are now akin to gibberish in eidting mode.
Edited by Yugnatclosed No preview button.
When I'm on the editing page, I notice that there's no preview button, without it I'm not sure whether or not my edits are fine.
closedPages take a longer time to load.
Maybe it is traffic, or maybe it's because this is brand-spanking new, but pages take significantly longer to load, both on my PC and on my phone in comparison to the previous style.
Attempting to filter the list of edits based on namespace doesn't seem to be working.
