We've just pushed a large overhaul public. Please report complaints, comments and concerns here. When reporting bugs, please make sure you include which browser(s) and platform(s) you have encountered the issue with.
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
- Why did we do this? This update has been in development for over a year. It replaces a vast amount of messy code on the back-end, gives us a new modernized design, updates us to https, and creates a platform that we can more easily build on for future updates.
- Can we go back to the old design? This isn't happening. We'll make the new one work.
- Why are there so many bugs? As with any major overhaul, some problems will occur. The developers are working full-time on fixing stuff.

I did an edit to a page and it just...stopped being shown? Like I check the page source and all the text is there but after a minor edit it just vanished when I try to view it normally.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/CodeGeassLelouchLamperouge
This page to be precise. Is it just me or is this unseeable by others? It really should be there according to the page source and if I check edit or history it's there too...

If this has been added to the condensed list of problems, let me know.
I managed to edit one page, but then afterwards the page is blanked. When I click the Page Source, it's still there, but the main page doesn't display anything. Help?
I'm with Satoshi Bakura here. Voicing concerns is one thing, screaming for the devs and admins to be replaced und wanting to start a petition is not helping anyone, is not constructive and is complete hyperbole. And is actually distracting from those people who genuinely are trying to be helpful by bringing up valid bugs that need fixing.

Hello all.
Yes, the mods and admins are monitoring this thread. It is moving quite quickly, so we cannot feasibly address everyone individually. Septimus was earlier collecting bugs, but had to log off. I, or another mod in an appropriate time zone, will be resuming that. (Personally, I'm on mobile and can't do it at this exact moment.)
Drew and the other admins are busy working on the most critical bugs first, and will be going down the list from there.
Please continue to provide feedback, with device information and screenshots wherever possible. We are listening and have no intent to ignore your questions, concerns, or recommendations.
Redirects do not seem to be working either. For example: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Anime/AxisPowersHetalia
My two cents on the matter: The new posts
page looks really ugly on Night Vision mode
. Beyond that, most of my grievances have already been stated.

"... comments and concerns here."
Are you seriously complaining about people complaining on the complaining thread?
