NOTE - Report bugs along with your browser/version, operating system/version, and device. There are thousands of these combinations, and most bugs right now only affect certain combinations.
Tropers - As you are probably well aware by now, we've made a ton of changes to TV Tropes. Although most of the changes you see are primarily cosmetic, we are also part way through a complete overhaul of the backend code. With so many changes under the hood, it is entirely possible we broke a few things. If you find something that does not appear to be working correctly, this is the place to report it.
Please note, this thread is for BUGS only! If you have an idea, wish, or anything to say that is not related to a bug, please do not post it here. Those things can all be posted and discussed on other threads in Wiki Talk or the Tech Wishlist.
The more information you can provide about the bug (e.g., browser, operating system, etc.) and how to re-create it, the more likely we will be able to squash it.
Happy Troping!
EDIT: Here are some things that have been reported:
- Login issues
- Logins not sticking between devices
- Some people are still having issues with dropped logins.
- You can't log in if your username contains a space. Remove the space.
- Javascript: Your device must be able to run Javascript from tvtropes.org, static.tvtropes.org, ajax.googleapis.com, and netdna.bootstrapcdn.com. If you are blocking any of these, lots of things won't work, like editing pages.

Whenever I go into the Bilingual Bonus page, the alignment gets screwed up by moving to the right and Firefox crashes. I think it may involve an advertisement that appears on the left of the page, but I'm not sure.
I don't know if it is intentional, but on Ask The Tropers, there are scrollbars on the sides of all of the posts.
◊ The problem with that is that all of the posts are sized to be big enough for all of the text to be showing already.
I'm currently using Chrome OS Version 46.0.2490.71 (64-bit), if that's needed (I know there's normally a settings tab that shows the version of Google Chrome, but it only shows the Chrome OS version, so I assume they're the same.)
When viewing the "customize wikiword" page
in night vision mode, the majority of the text is still black, so it's black text on a nearly black background, nigh impossible to read.
I am not sure if this is a common problem, but I have been having trouble with this site for awhile. Every now again pages won't fully load or load very slowly. My bowser, which is Safari 6.2.8, will slow to crawl and I am force to Force Quit. The site will also something freeze when I am trying to edit a page. These problems are especially bad if I use the new view instead of Classic View.
I get "Server hangup. Description: Server hangup" errors frequently when attempting to load pages. Reloading fixes it, but it's still annoying. By the way the page up bug still exists. Still chrome on windows 7. The page up bug doesn't happen in Firefox it seems.

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."Night Vision mode: Chapter 5 works fine, but Chapter 5
still displays all of the text inside of the link.
Main.Young Adult Literature seems to have stopped showing up on related pages. I think for a while it stopped indexing, too.
I put Literature.Messenger Of Fear on the page, and it indexed on its own page, but doesn't show up in its related pages on the YA page.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Literature/MessengerOfFear

The advertising and security issues page goes off the page. I can't scroll to the right to see it all.
