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.

Cookie issue. Clearing your cookies should fix it (it worked for the two other people who reported it).

In Chrome you can locate and delete the night-vision and show-spoilers cookies specifically to keep everything else.

Can confirm that clearing history/cache/cookies worked for me when I...

  • Toggled Night Vision on desktop (Windows 10, Google Chrome)
  • Toggled desktop view on mobile (iOS, Safari)

On Safari, the Night Vision toggle (don't know if showing spoilers also does this) gets stuck in the manner described by OP if turned on from a regular page and the browser is closed while it's still on.

It's because of a Java Script error where the cookie does not turn off when deactivated. You'll have to go to the settings and undo it manually, or clear your cookies until then.

You have to go to your browser history.

We just pushed a hotfix live for this. There was an issue with the domain cookie being mismatched when fixing the autoplay setting for a new video player
