As your friendly neighborhood Admin Team, the gang here at TVTropes HQ is always working to improve the site.
Many of those improvements begin with suggestions posted right here, on the Community Wishlist. Is there a feature you really want on TVTropes? Post it.
Is there something we could be doing better? We want to know. Do you think we look fat in these pants? We were totally afraid of that. See a bug? Report it.
Important things to know:
- We're all about that content-creation life! The top contenders for our attention are ideas that'll create more content, like the video uploading feature, or speed up launching new pages. On the flip side, design or layout tweaks won't be our top priority.
- Help us dig through the goldmine of old wishlist items! If you have an old request gathering dust or spot one you're totally on board with, give it a bump and a like. There's a treasure trove of 6+ years' worth of ideas just waiting to be rediscovered. Items without enough love may not make the cut and will be closed.
- Was your wishlist item locked up without an explanation? It was most likely disapproved or just too big of a task versus the benefit it would ultimately have. Time is precious, and we want to focus on updates with the biggest bang for the buck. Don't be discouraged though! We appreciate every idea and we're always listening.
It's more of a mobile browser limitation, they normally unload pages when are inactive.
Still, as a very forced workaround the browser cookies can remember the last page visited and the order of folders open, so when you open the page again it clicks on folders automatically.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI think the site would need to be entirely recoded to allow that
It's already using cookies to save forum posts locally, so there's nothing preventing storing which folders to open until the page is switched.

I wish Folders I've opened on a page would remain open when a page refreshes. Perhaps it could be an option to opt-into like "Folders Open", except only for folders the user has manually opened.
I often browse on mobile and (re-)read the pages for works I like. Some of those works have very long example lists that get put into folders (if not split into multiple pages which each have folders). However, if I read partway through a folder then leave the browser (even if I keep the page open in the browser), it often refreshes the page when I return to it, closing the folder and making me unsure of where I left off.
I'd prefer not to default to "Folders Open" because, again, many of these pages are very long and having all folders open by default is not an ideal solution. But perhaps that same functionality could be used to easily make this an option as well? Just a thought. Thanks!
