NOTE - Report bugs along with your browser/version, operating system/version, and device. There are thousands of these combinations, and most bugs right now only affect certain combinations.
Tropers - As you are probably well aware by now, we've made a ton of changes to TV Tropes. Although most of the changes you see are primarily cosmetic, we are also part way through a complete overhaul of the backend code. With so many changes under the hood, it is entirely possible we broke a few things. If you find something that does not appear to be working correctly, this is the place to report it.
Please note, this thread is for BUGS only! If you have an idea, wish, or anything to say that is not related to a bug, please do not post it here. Those things can all be posted and discussed on other threads in Wiki Talk or the Tech Wishlist.
The more information you can provide about the bug (e.g., browser, operating system, etc.) and how to re-create it, the more likely we will be able to squash it.
Happy Troping!
EDIT: Here are some things that have been reported:
- Login issues
- Logins not sticking between devices
- Some people are still having issues with dropped logins.
- You can't log in if your username contains a space. Remove the space.
- Javascript: Your device must be able to run Javascript from tvtropes.org, static.tvtropes.org, ajax.googleapis.com, and netdna.bootstrapcdn.com. If you are blocking any of these, lots of things won't work, like editing pages.

Are you still having this issue?
Perpetually Confused
Yes but less. Now it still fails 50% of the time, but at least it fails or succeeds faster.
Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but the page constantly jumps to up or down to bring the video advertisement onto the screen, even if I haven't scrolled down to that point yet or if I scrolled past it already. This is a near-infuriating disruption to my attempts to read the content on the pages.

What video advertisement? This shouldn't be happening.

RhymeBeat can't sign in and can't reset her password.
I'm getting that glitch too. It also happens on the P5 content violation reports page.
The Faker
I got effectively locked out of my account due to forgetting my password on my computer note . I tried the password reset, but the email failed to send. After that failed, I dug through my emails to find my password, and found that, even if the email for the password reset fails to send, the password is still apparently reset, as the password I found isn't valid anymore. The only idea I have for recreating this would be to open a different browser from what you usually use, try a password recovery, then try to log in normally.

Hello, I keep trying to make a works page for my blog. This is what I type in to create my works page:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Blog/ask-phd-pokemon
which is how it's instructing me to on the help page. I do all that and than click edit (again as instructed) but every time I do that it just takes me back to the Home Page of TV Tropes. I am using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox

Thank you, that did it.
I still can't see any previews.
Is anyone else having watchlist issues all of a sudden?
"I'm as free as the dust in the solar wind."
Ditto. It told me I was caught up with all threads, which definitely isn't true, I've at least 1-15 watched threads that are pretty active most months.

-Raises hand-
Mine cleared for no reason. I went to check at least the Final Fantasy thread and it said there it was still on my Watchlist.
I dropped it and put it in it again, it still appeared as if it was blank.

The watchlist itself also isn't displaying anything, regardless of whether a topic has been added to it or not.

Oh good. It's not just me then. Watchlist is telling me I've viewed all threads on it. Related: the "watched thread list" is empty, even though individual watched threads show "remove from watchlist?" option instead of "add to watchlist".

So it's a site-wide problem rather than just something on my end.
On another note, I've noticed that a recently created thread whose title implies it's about this problem is completely empty; I am guessing that both that and the error spoken of here is a database issue. I suggest that the staff create a collective, publicly known e-mail address that they can all access as a group, to which any contributor can send messages whenever a problem hits the site that prevents them from raising the issue in the forum (e.g. if we can't even create new posts like here).

I don't think new threads are showing anything.

Collector Of Fine Oddities
Tried to post a bug report but my thread appears blank.
Watchlists not working for me, and thread creation as well apparently. Tried the usual cache/cookie clearing, multiple browsers, and relogging to no avail. Sent Fighteer a PM about this to see if my P Ms were working.
Watchlist appears blank, including the list showing all threads followed. However, when viewing a followed thread the remove from watchlist button still appears and you can still drop it from the nonexistent list.

Seems like this a pretty big issue this time.
Hopefully this means the site overlords will solve it quickly.
I will send one to you right now, we can test that way more quickly.
Edit: Well, that works at least.
