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.

closedCrowner options not showing in thread
See the TRS thread for Reality Retcon: The crowner options are invisible and clicking the show/hide button does nothing.
working"Today's Featured Trope" doesn't use current images?
On Shooting Superman, we changed the image to a Wonderella example because it highlights the fact that people ought to know shooting this character won't work. But the "Today's Featured Trope" widgit uses the old image. I'm guessing it uses data from an older database.
Shouldn't it use the most up-to-date database available? We changed the image in January of this year, and the old image isn't even the one the widgit is using.
workingChange a Crowner Vote
I was trying to vote on a TLP title crowner but accidentally downvoted the one I meant to upvote. When I click the button to change my vote, it just takes me to a frozen white screen.
workingHeader issues
For some reason the Header is closer together than it should be.
(PC, Chrome 69)
workingUnable to save changes to profile.
When I try to edit my profile's 'Additional Info' section, none of the changes occur. It appears to affect all of the boxes in the aforementioned section. The page appears to reload after clicking 'Save Changes', upon which all changed settings have been returned to their previous state.
EDIT: Looks like it's fixed.
Edited by Clockwork_HeartworkingParagraph breaks under folders and headers not working on forum posts
When I tried to enclose a couple paragraphs of text under a header in a forum post, I noticed that the space between the paragraphs ended up missing, so it looked like the two paragraphs were only separated by a line break and was very troublesome to read as a result. I tried to replace the header with a folder and got the same result.
workingFront page picture
I just noticed, but on "Today's Featured Trope" on the front page, the picture is not current for the trope if it has been changed; it's the old picture that can be seen on the front page.
I have seen similar things with the "view picture" function of the Following section, it might be a similar problem.
closedPage not displaying in watched threads list
For some reason, the Splatoon thread on the forums, which I have watched, is no longer displaying in my watchlist. The thread still exists, it's just not showing as watched. A quick check of the thread confirms that I am still following it. Unwatching and rewatching the thread does not fix the issue.
Edited by Midnaclosed Followed thread list doesn't update and then items on list disappear, threads don't bump
My followed threads list had a weird bug just now. When a post happened in it, the thread didn't let me know that the post showed up. I had to go to the thread itself to figure out that the post happened. When I went back to the thread followed list, the entire thread was missing from the list, even though I know for a fact I'm following it (and it says I'm following it on the top). This has happened for multiple threads now. Also, the forum listing doesn't list the timestamp for the new post, just the previous post before this started happening.
EDIT: Threads don't seem to be bumping either. If a post lands on a new page, the new page doesn't show up and you have to manually go to the page by typing it in the URL.
Edited by AllHailThrallclosed Thread titles no longer turn gray in Night Vision
While in Night Vision mode, thread titles no longer turn gray after I've clicked on them and read the most recent posts, so it looks like every thread always has new posts. This does not seem to be an issue with normal view.
I'm using Chrome 69, and Windows 7 (64-bit).
closed Weird Forum Page bug
So I made a post in the Kingdom Hearts thread, and for some reason the Next button at the top is still visible. Clicking on it sends you to the previous page (which is listed as the most recent) with no way to get back within the thread. Also, the thread's not updating in the time order in the VG subforum.
Edited by Karxridaclosed British Politics thread's last page is cut off
[[British Politics https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13047108520A43173900&page=1326]] is up to 1327 pages, but it's only showing 1326.
closed"Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster" disappeared from my watch list.
After my latest post there, this cleanup thread disappeared from my watch list.
Even when I un-follow and follow it again, the thread is still missing from my watch list.
closed Query Page Text in Night Vision
On query pages like ATT or this very page, the text inside of people's messages are gray on darker gray.
workingTLP Button glitch
On TLP in Night Vision the Filter buttons look like they're just one big button when set to All.

I can login on my laptop in firefox and on my phone in Chrome, but the password won't work for firefox android.
closed Forum thread for Justice League stopped appearing in Followed Threads?
The forum thread for Live Action Film: Justice League seems like it's stopped appearing in my Followed Threads listing? I tried unfollowing it and refollowing it.
Double posting seems to have fixed it.
closed Something odd
Not a huge bug but I noticed the replies to a bunch of queries are ending with - [number] like this one has - 6 at the end of replies and this one has - 1 and this one has - 3
I can't see any obvious causes for it though the number seems to be the same as the amount of replies

Reference. The link in the crowner description is for some reason adding an extraneous backslash at the end, breaking the link. Also the image is broken.
EDIT: It's also doing it in crowner options.
