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.

openIcon Glitch
Today, members of this ATT query noticed that certain icons and displays such as the links on the blue banner with "Follow TV Tropes", the folder icon, the left and right buttons in the forums, the ATT/Bugs buttons, and many more appear as a bizarre mess of characters instead of their proper icons. What happened to cause this odd glitch? Some have noted that this glitch does not appear on certain formats, so this could be a case-by-case issue. Anyway, this strange occurrence has to be fixed.
Edited by Excessive-MenaceopenTiny image caption text
Not sure if this is a bug but suddenly the caption text on trope page images is smaller than usual. Anyone else seeing this?
EDIT: It's probably just because I'm on mobile. Ignore.

openForum badge display issue
The "Hottip Cleaner Award" is displaying as a big long column of text next to a broken image, really screwing up with display and navigation. Currently on the latest version of Chrome and Windows 10. Image of the issue:

openEditing certain pages makes browser unusable
Whenever I try to edit certain pages, after the edit page loads and I try to use the browser, it gets stuck loading pages indefinitely. If I go to a different website, including in other tabs, it's stuck loading. I tried using a different browser while it's stuck and it works normally. I have to close the browser completely before it starts working again.
So far, the pages I've encountered this problem is on Follow The Leader/Video Games and Real Money Trade. I'm using Firefox 97.0.1 (64-bit).

Is anyone else having trouble staying logged in? Even if I check the box, the system logs me out very shortly.
Edited by HeroGal2347openNot working with Safari.
My tablet uses Safari as its browser, but lately whenever I’m on TV Tropes, the website invariably stops responding.
openspurious search results (tropes in weird namespaces)
Sometimes, when I use the search to look up a trope, I get nonexistent results for the trope in namespaces that no trope would have a subpage in. For example, when I looked up Stock Rhymes, following Main.Stock Rhymes in the results were ReferencedBy.Stock Rhymes and Fridge.Stock Rhymes. This has also happened with other searches I’ve done.
openCriminal Case Recap isn't indexing
For whatever reason, the cases of Criminal Case aren't indexing or are no longer indexed when they were before.
Edited by JacobyInvestigativeopenImage uploader bugging
Over the last couple of days the image uploader (via wiki) has been weirdly cropping or stretching my uploads. It doesn't happen for all images, but I can't get it to fix even when exiting out of the wiki then uploading from a new page.
- An iamge that should look like this: [1]◊ comes out cropped on the side like this [2]◊
- An image that should look like this: [3]◊ looked like this the first three tries: [4]◊
I'm on Windows 11 (recently updated) and Chrome if that helps anything.
Edited by SynchronicityopenThe Cancel button in the Discussion pages still saves the edited post
Exactly what it says.
openMobile Glitch
I use this site on mobile. Everytime I hard pressed on a link, I can no longer click on anything else on the page.
openStill can't play/watch videos
Third time now I have asked for assistance in dealing with this issue! Got no reply so I'm asking again! I cannot watch or play any videos on TV Tropes. Please fix this!!!!! Please reply to me!!!!
openFolder title glitch
I am trying to apply an effect to some of the text in the title of a folder but the folder stops at the first "]]" instead of the second one.
I want the title to look like this:
Taboo - The Fae who lost their Names
But when I put it in a folder title it comes out like this:
The text I am using is this: [[folder:'''[[green:Taboo]]''' - The Fae who lost their Names]] [[/folder]]
closed TLP Suspension poor banner
After getting suspended on TLP, I have discovered the banner on it says "Sorry, you are currently banned from particpating in the YKTTW process, learn moreHERE". Please fix the following mistakes:
- Says "particpating" instead of "participating".
- Says YKTTW instead of TLP.
- Should have a space before HERE.
- Should end the sentence with a period (would look better).
openBroken subpage header
I brought this up years ago on ATT, but now I realize this is probably a better question to ask here.
For the sub-page banner on top of Transformers Alter Verse, there's a little bubble that's blank that's between the YMMV and Create New sections. Mousing over the bubble shows that the link is "https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php//TransformersAlterVerse", but clicking it just redirects you to the main page.
I don't think it's possible to just cutlist it, and the previous discussion said only the admins could fix a problem like this.
Edited by chasemaddiganopenForum Threads Glitch?
For some reason certain forum threads on my follow list do not unbold after I check them for the latest updates. They always take me to the first page instead of the most recent post I've read up to. This can make it very frustrating to catch up to new discussion as I have no way of telling where it left off, especially if it's a very fast-moving thread. At first it only happened to me with the bug reporting thread, and I thought that was by design, but it's also affecting me with random other discussion threads as well.
Kinda weird but when I'm trying to post on forums. The Cancel, save draft, preview and post buttons are now highlighted and I don't know why?
