Hey tropers, the day has arrived. If you were one of our Kickstarter donators last year you've probably seen us tinkering with a new design for months. Within the next couple hours (depending on how fast your DNS updates you'll start hitting our new servers with the updated version of TV Tropes). A huge thanks to those of you who have been monitoring it and giving us feedback throughout the development process. Some of the new features include:
- Updated design throughout for a cleaner browsing experience
- One click sign in with Facebook
- Random Shuffle button to stay on a namespace (hit Random Media then the Shuffle button to randomize that namespace)
- Browse Watchlist in an image view
- History page now highlights sentences that were deleted/added to make it easier to review changes
- New image uploader with built in crop function
- New About Us page so you can see who we are.
- Contact Us form
- Trope Depictions on the home page (artists can submit their own comic to go with a trope)
- Bug List page Query Bugs (and Query Wishlist for tech wishes) to organize and track bugs on the site.
Ok. Let the feedback begin. (See Anxiety Tropes for my current feelings)
Notes:
- Please do not bother asking for the old design to come back. The lease of the old servers did expire at the day of the changeover, the new ones cannot run the old design.
- You can move the sidebar to the left by going into your profile and selecting Lefthand Sidebar.

I found that thread in rmctagg09's post history.
Yep, the glitch looks like it's reproducing itself for me as they described it.
Oh, ninja'd by a minute and a half. Oh, well.
Also, it looks like the sticky top post-thing went blank. The site in general seems to be giving me random bursts of slowness and responsiveness.

I think there is a more appropriate thread for this than the thread about 1.3.

Uhh, for some reason there's nothing where this thread's pinned first post should be.

The pinned post/header is broken, simply put. Not the only thread that's affected either. Subpage Cleanup Complete Monsters is another one.

Have there been any updates regarding the stretching avatars issue? Thanks.

Is it just me or are the edit pages different?

They look identical to me.
I meant the URL XD;;

It helps if you spell Nightmare with a t in both cases. (The first link is where it's misspelled.)

My Recent Edits page looks different!

EDIT: So does the Watchlist! The text is as big as the Wiki's Recent Changes page.

What's up with those alternating shadows on the recent edits page? They don't really work that well on long lists and just generally make things harder to read.

I was okay with it until I scrolled down and things kinda blurred together.
Yeah, if they need to be there to begin with, they should be a lot lighter in color overall.
Maybe they could be like the forum topic shadows, as light blue and white. Dark grey is hard to read with dark blue letters.

The Java Script in the avatar image up loader is broken. 
Grr... <3
In what way is it broken?
Mweheheh
The search engine is also broken.

Peace is the only battle worth waging.
I keep clicking submit but nothing happens.

Ah, right. You can take that to Query Bugs. In this kind of situation, as it is working for some, you should probably list your platform and browser.
Same question as above but I think someone already filed a bug report.

Are there any updates regarding this problem?

A procrastination in of itself
The forum page bug where you jump to the newest page regardless of what's happened seems to be fixed now, I think.

Several forum bugfixes were released recently:
- Image Pickin'/On-Topic Conversations/Trope Repair Shop topic creation fixed so that mods are hollered to open them, as is intended.
- Topic lists fixed so that the link takes you to the correct page for the last post you read.
- An attempt was made to reduce the rare occurrence of post duplication.
We've got the You Tube embed size issue assigned to a programmer for further review.

Update: It has been rendered impossible to submit images smaller than 100x100.
I actually like the larger embedded videos. But I do not browse tvtropes in the typical manner. My view is quite narrow.
Need a link to that topic, please.
