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.

closedNight Vision constantly turns on by itself any time I go to the new page, even when I turn it off.
So, today I've stumbled upon an issue when I turn on the Night Vision, all the new pages for some reason start with Night Vision. Even when I turn it off, whenever I go to the new page or open the new tab, it still returns back to the Night Vision, even when I had it turned off before opening the new page or tab. I hope this bug would get fixed soon; manually turning off the Night Vision on every single page I open gets kinda grating.
openCutlist request not going through.
Exactly what the title says. Whenever I try to cutlist NightmareFuel.Nichijou (yes, it actually exists) my request doesn't show up.
Edit: Nevermind, I was just formatting it wrong.
Edited by SpideyopenStop Auto-play Video doesn't work
Just this morning, the video player has been modified and the video now automatically restarts once it completes its run-through. There is an option in your profile to "Stop Auto-play Video" which is supposed to "stop videos in articles from playing automatically". I turned this option on, but nothing happens; the video STILL restarts and plays automatically after it ends, and it still plays when viewing it on the page. Please can you fix this?
openCan't look up certain profiles' forum posts, usually profiles older than 2013
I'm not sure if this is a bug, since there's apparently a delete account option, but certain profiles - usually old, old ones - don't bring up any forum posts, old or otherwise.
openAvatar selection issue
If I, say, accidentaly switch to another avatar, I can not switch back to my old one without reloading the page.
openPost appearing in the future in the forums
When I go to the forums, the left side shows this◊ with a post in Trope Talk from tomorrow, 1/5. Clicking through to Trope Talk shows there's no post◊. I'm using Chrome but it appears the same in Edge.
Edit: This doesn't occur on my phone (also in Chrome).

Whenever I Pot Hole Trope Launch Pad, it doesn't redirect.
Example: Trope Launch Pad
openEdit Video option not showing up
EDIT: Nevermind, my screen was zoomed in, so my account thought I was on mobile.
Edited by RainbowPumpqueenopenQuotes not working correctly on TLP
When you try to format multiple lines in a quote by \-ing them, the second slash gets erased when the draft is saved, as seen on the draft for Anguished Outburst, causing the all the quote to appear on one line.
openBroken backslash indentation
I noticed someone going through the Life Is Strange: True Colors page and replacing the double backslash indentations with -->s. According to the Text-Formatting Rules, a double backslash should be used to indent lines, so I went into the page to change it back.
However, when I hit the preview button I saw that all the indented text appearing on a single line, and when I tested it out in the ATT thread I'd created to ask about what to do I discovered that when I typed a double-backslash and even a triple-backslash it was saved as only a single backslash.
What's going on here?
Edited by Arawn999openBroken badge
I noticed that one of shadowblack's forum badges has a broken image. Its long alt-text is then crammed into the width of the image, resulting in massive vertical stretching that adds a large gap in between forum posts.
openImage list doesn’t list images uploaded through fora.
Whenever I upload an image using the forum image upload, it does not show up at the image list, only when I use the wiki upload. My sandbox has four images, and only the Godzilla maquette shows up on the image list, as I uploaded it when I was editin’ the sandbox.
Edited by DelibirdaopenNew tab not appearing on the main page of a work
EDIT: Issue seems to have been resolved. Thank you.
There's a fanfic of a work I recently read and wanted to recommend on the Fanfic Recs page of it. There wasn't a page for them before, so I made one. Problem is, the tab only shows up when I'm logged in to my account. If I'm not, the Fanfic Recs page doesn't appear at all, even though it still exists (have to type the words into the URL manually).

Edited by AonekoopenBroken image Badges make huge empty spaces
Badges that don't have work images make huge spaces as their description is clickable, as seen here. trying to remake those badges may not be worth it considering they've been closed long ago and any new icons would likely look really inconsistent, but could the formatting be fixed as this is kinda annoying? thank you.
Edited by PiterpicheropenUpload Image broken
When I drag an image into the Upload Image box, it pulls it up to the screen where I can crop it if I want, but when I click 'Submit' a load wheel briefly appears before disappearing and nothing happening. This is stopping me from uploading images.
EDIT: Never mind, images were formatted incorrectly.
Edited by Lord-LemonHeadopen"List of all imageless trope pages" is borked
The "needs image" finder on the Itty Bitty Wiki Tools is busted and now just leads to an error page.
Edited by Crossover-EnthusiastopenEdit lock notification referencing wrong administrivia
"This Article is checked out until [time] by [troper]. Please consult this page for more information on page locks."
The edit lock that causes this message is entirely separate from administrative lock, so "this page" should be potholing to Edit Stomp, not Locked Pages.
e: Edit Stomp might be moved from Main/ to Administrivia/ per the Outdated Pages thread, so whoever would make this change, you may wish to hold off until that's resolved. And that's done.
I switched to desktop version on my iPhone 12 to use Wiki Word two days ago. But when I tried switching back to mobile version, nothing happened. It just stayed on desktop version.
Any idea on how to fix it? It's gonna make me frustrated if I can't switch back to mobile version.
Update: It's working again. I'm finally on mobile version again.
