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.

workingYMMV and other symbols overlap with text
The symbols that appear next to YMMV, flame bait, and other such marked tropes sometimes overlap with the preceding text which can make it just a little difficult to read. An example of this can be found on the page for Secret of Evermore on the third sub-bullet of Developer's Foresight.
closed [Resolved] Can't turn off New Search
While the preference toggles are fixed, this one still isn't. The temporary fix is the same, getting rid of new-search flag in the browser settings. Pointing out that this was overlooked.

closed [Resolved] FAQ [Night Vision and other slider getting stuck]
Reposting the answer as a question for visibility.
Something went wrong server-side and it's not saving your display settings when you turn them back. Some javascript typo, who knows. There's no known time when this will be fixed, just use this solution and bear with it.
The preferences aren't saving because your cookie flag isn't turning off. If you clear your browser cookies for tvtropes.org, it will reset the preferences. At least in Chrome you can lookup specific cookies for the site called "night-vision" and "show-spoilers", removing them will reset the preferences without logging you out.
The issue will resume if you use the sliders again.
Edited by Amonimusclosed Mobile browser version refuses to return to mobile version of this site.
Today while I was searching for some works in Tv tropes on my phone, I accidentally clicked deckstop mode and I tried to go back to mobile version but it goes to the same deckstop mode. So I have no choice but to deleted today's history in order to bring back to mobile version. Can you guys check what's going on and fix it please? And also am I the only one who have this problem?
Edited by BubblepigclosedToggles Not Working
In my profile, when I try to turn any of the display options off and leave to a different page, it turns them all back on for some reason. Is there, like, a way to save them or is it just kinda borked?
Edit: Clearing cookies in my browser worked, so I guess just do that.
Edited by ASusNunCompanyopenSlow when editing
Tv Tropes works just fine for the most part, but if I try to edit a page it starts lagging; if I type a letter, it takes like five seconds to show up if not more. It also ONLY happens to the editing. I can switch tabs just fine and everything else is running normally, but editing is painfully slow
closedSomething is wrong with the sliders
On an IOS device, once you activate a slider option (night vision, sticky header, etc.) and then deactivate it, it suddenly reactivates once the page reloads. I just discovered it this evening. Please fix this.
Edited by TrendingToon1closedStuck on Night Mode
Last evening, I turned on Night Mode and when I woke up this morning, I attempted to turn it off but as soon as I either reload the page or click another link, it immediately goes back to the dark background.
EDIT: Fixed the problem by clearing my browser cookies.
EDIT: Nope, it started happening again.
Edited by lbssbclosedCan't disable Night Vision (mobile)
On mobile, I can't disable night vision anymore. When I tap the switch, it goes back to white mode on that page, but when I go to a new page night vision is on again.
closedNight vision issues
Night vision is permanently toggled on for me. I can switch it off, but it automatically comes back on when I load a new page.
For reference, I'm using a Mac and Safari. This doesn't turn up when I use Chrome.
closedNight mode glitch on the mobile site
Yesterday, I turned on night mode on this site on my phone. Now, when ever I switch to light mode, it goes back to dark mode when I go to another page.
openMobile Version not working
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.
Edited by SymBionicFanclosedNight 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.
Hi whenever I attempt to play a video or here nothing happens. I have refreshed your site multiple times and I still can't play any of your videos at all.
