Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Well, I'm in Chrome, but I started having random browser shutdowns after I downloaded something I thought I wanted (but turned out I didn't). Bundled with it was a lovely little piece of data called search conduit. It refused to uninstall with everything else and stuck itself in my browser, causing all kinds of fun. I've scrubbed it out and most of the effects have stopped, but I keep getting the random shutdowns. And they always seem to occur when I'm away from the computer.
I'm doing another round of scrubbing now.

Maybe it's just my computer or the browser (Internet Explorer), but as of late I've suffered from several latencies that cause frequent mini-freezes in the tabs I have while viewing or editing pages, or posting in the forums. Sometimes it forces IE to close and then reopen the tabs, and on rare occasions this even affects any other tabs (so if I'm loading a You Tube video, it'll reset). It's getting very irritating, so much that I had to write this very post in a notepad since I was never able to finish posting before a problem occured.
Is this a cookie problem? If so, what can I do to fix this? If it's a thing from the site itself, does the staff know about it already? Thanks in advance!
