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.

closedTrope Launch pad won't work????
I just tried to submit a YKTTW into the launch pad, but it's not showing up anywhere and isn't listed in my active YKTT Ws. What up with that?
closed Search bar won't work
Typing into the search bar won't show any results, even though the bottom of the page lists "x number of results."
closed Scam clickbait ad
I was on the characters page for the bounty Hunter for the darkest dungeon video game and I got an Ad which redirected me to the following URL: https://safe.clubb99.date/ta3/2Dw-3Xz/menu-spr-c2-rfc-https-c2-d2.html?region=Florida&td=www.bluecruisebooking.com&cep=fsa7nQRfEfm2MFsJJz3L8i6Bm0YtosmHrYYrVXsldD0pYLk35jxatfmyvNzqXOm9OVP7vAYNh3rki4mK_BenFZ4CZqd_a0ymFosQbq39WIx7u9H37hbReo66H76C0ZHg1v8q4rKgSolBhUvHYEby-zjbmgkRXXxY4nVi3M_Nw9sLFp75fG81WqR9EHrAJID7WTkkDKPEM0CJcxPRCEXjVP6P7nQSZ7LWdwgkIFjUnvsgwJ8GrKsbr6N1QUJD1E29dPZxiGRugLeBRuoN4-_87aDIehN4N8e-QQ4GgvjqnpS-VqhpwWKE6uQKF-mwT1vodtXRWirW__JhJwMKRqgVJoFbvqQDNWvnrZDQMqHP00VwoeYrcj1yGDJGlJOtNz9rjdrtqFKUhDVgAYnq6-PdRw
workingNo thread watch list or menu at the bottom of the page on mobile.
Less a bug, and more a massive quality of life issue there is no quick way to return to the thread watch-list from the bottom of a forum page on a mobile device... which means that you have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page, some times up to 25 posts above, and it just becomes a massive pain for any kind of long browsing session.
workingThe Page List of "Page Type in Namespace" has Wonky Formatting
As seen here the formatting for the pages-of-page-type-in-namespace pages are messed up.
closed Can't edit posts in Discussion
The "Edit Post" button on the Discussion page doesn't appear to be working. Whenever I hit the "save" button after editing one of my posts, the changes don't appear.
workingCommenting out glitch
Lines that are commented out on wiki pages are appearing as spaces, noticed first in Captain Marvel (2019).
Edited by rmctagg09workingNo folders in Discussion
I recently noticed that folders no longer appear in Discussion pages. Whenever I try to copy and paste folders into trope discussions, all of the entries under the folder show up in full, and I just get a header where the folder name should be.
(On one trope discussion page, I can still see folders in older posts, so I know they worked previously)
closed No folders in Discussion, no post editing, and backslashes appear before quotation marks

Also: whenever I try to type a quotation mark in a Discussion page (either a single-quote or a double-quote), it always comes out with a backslash before it.
The "Edit Post" button on the Discussion page also doesn't appear to be working. Whenever I hit the "save" button after editing one of my posts, the changes don't appear.
I'm not sure if anyone else has reported his. If I'm just formatting my posts incorrectly, please tell me.
Edited by TheMightyHeptagonclosed Search function not showing results
I just noticed that while trying to use the site's search bar, it won't turn up results after I hit enter. Not in a "No results" way, but it just won't display them. I tried this with both Firefox and Edge, and neither fixed the problem.
Now, I did try the "Preview our new search" setting and that turned up results just fine. Is the new search function in the process of being implemented right now? If the transition is causing the regular search page no longer turn up results, I can understand that. Still, it's something I thought I should bring attention to.
workingDrop-down menu hard to read in Night Vision
I just realized when making an Ask the Tropers entry that drop-down menus in Night Mode consist of light gray text on a white background, making the text very hard to read.
workingCrowner activity history buggy
The crowner history goes until page 133, from page 134 to 12308 it shows blank.
closedBizarrchitecture cannot link
I'm trying to link Bizarrchitecture in star trek the cage recap, but the trope.does not link, even with pothole.. what gives??
closed Outdated message
The message on non-existent pages ("We don't have an article named...") still refers to YKTTW intstead of TLP.
workingLocked pages aren't showing as locked, in the edit button on History pages.
Locked Pages aren't showing as locked, in the edit button on History pages.
workingLine Breaking in Discussion
My posts in discussion are not line breaking despite using the three backslashes prescribed in Text Formatting. Like so. Is this a bug or is there a different way to format in Discussion?
Edited by DongsGaloreclosed ExistenceFailure is not typed as a redirect. Nevermind, putting it on the cutlist.
Existence Failure is not typed as a redirect, even though it is.
It's typed as a trope...
Nevermind, gonna put it on the cutlist. No wicks and only 3 inbounds.
Edited by MaladyclosedYMMV Tropes on a Character Sheet
How come linking to YMMV pages on Characters.Stretch Armstrong And The Flex Fighters doesn't result in the gas pump appearing? It took me a while to find them as a result.
I just recently posted in The Order of the Stick thread in the webcomics subforum. I realized I had been [nja]'d, but then I realized the reason was that the thread was not updated when someone posted before me. It is currently on page 1922, but there is not a link to page 1923.
