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.

It's a mild problem, but it may be a good idea to fix it.

I mean...it's very confusing honestly...

Yeah, I got the same problem. Clicking on the Time Zone setting on my profile doesn't do anything. It won't show the drop-down menu at all. It does show the drop-down menu for Relationship Status.

I'm assuming this might have something to do with the site crash the other day?

Probably.

Weird thing is that it was normal for me until I changed something on my profile.

I think if I were to change anything on my profile, my timezone would get borked as well. Damn.

Also empty here. Man, the recent update and the crash has made the profile buggy, and not in a fun way.

Mine's blank, too. I only just noticed it today, however, and I don't think mine was triggered by changing anything in my profile.

I reproduce the problem as well: Pacific Time, timezone dropdown empty, and I have no memory of changing my forum profile in ages.

Blank here as well, and I haven't changed my profile since before the crash either.

Blank for weeks since the crash now, and I’ve only changed my profile a few days ago. The displayed time’s 15 hours behind for some reason.

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

^ We're stuck in Pacific Standard Time I think, so for me (who is in Eastern Standard Time), I'm 3 hours behind. If you live somewhere in, say, Europe, then...yeah...

I haven't changed my profile after the crash. The only time I added anything was my signature, and that was a while ago. But, yeah, same here.

Is anyone else also unable to change their regions/titles/relationship status?

I changed my profile last night, and I noticed then that the timezones were off.

Edited by jjjj2 You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the mid

Well, I was able to change my time-zone back to normal. For those who are still stuck on Pacific Time, give it a try now. It should work.

Hmmm. Even though I changed it back and it says I'm in EST, I'm not in EST according to the timestamps.
