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.

closed ATT occasionally glitches
This only happens for a few seconds at a time, but lately there's been a small chance that if I check ATT there will just be nothing; a blank front page with the page buttons. Eventually it comes back if I refresh, but I was wondering if anyone else has this happen
closed circular logic
I try to access the site and it says I need an email to access this site. I have been a member since 2012 and always had the same email. When I fill in the blank with my email address it says it is already in use.
Please contact sylvae23@gmail.com - no way I can read any reply here. Thanks.
closed I got a message telling me I couldn't do anything until I verified my account
So I came onto the site, as usual, and they told me I couldn't do anything until I verified my email address. I did it without thinking and got brought back to the site, but now I'm scared that it might have been some kind of scam, some attempt to get into my email account or something. I made the account all the way back in 2012, so this could very well just be perfectly normal, but I'm nervous as hell that I might lose my google account. Sure, all they have is my email address, but what if that's all they need?
closed Editing broken
The only button I can get to wrk while editing is the “confirm changes” button. The save and preview buttons are not working.
closed Random False Red Links
More false red links to report (these pages are all functional):
- Aladdin: The Series
- The Big Bang Theory
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
- Johnny Bravo
- MA Dtv
- Mike, Lu & Og
- Robot Chicken
closed Image uploader won't let me submit
I tried using the image uploader, but when the loading bar finishes, instead of letting me confirm, a checkmark floats up.
Edit:Nvm, it works now. Pls close this.
Edited by moxedenclosed "You're Using an Ad Blocker" Prompt Appearing When it Shouldn't
My account is one where I should never receive ads when logged in thanks to the Kickstarter from a few years ago and I only see the "You're using an Ad Blocker" prompt when not logged in.
Starting this afternoon, I'm getting the same "You're using an Ad Blocker" prompt on every page despite being logged in and no ads appearing when the blocker is disabled (as expected).
closed Link text has a yellow background in Chrome on Windows
As the title says, for some reason all link text on TV Tropes is displayed on yellow background on my Windows 10 computer when viewed in Chrome. Forum links still look normal, and there is no yellow background either when I view the site in another browser (such as Firefox, or the Android version of Chrome). I didn't encounter such problems on other websites either. The problem began no earlier than a week ago.
Edited by PRHclosed Forum search doesn't work.
The prompts: "Ask the above avatar" and Forum Games
The results: Forums in Video Games that don't include the keywords at all.
closed Search not finding forums.
On Safari on my computer and phone when I seared for threads/forums, none come up instead getting weird and oft unrelated results. Tried it in old and new search, same issue.
closed Putting certain code into the edit source breaks source view

* VideoGame.BabaIsYou - 84 - 105 uncrosswicked:
As seen in:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/Malady?action=source
leads to weirdness where it says "* VideoGame.Baba Is You"
Edited by Maladyclosed Cannot add page to cut list.
I am trying to add Sandbox.Joker Folie A Deux to the cut list but it won’t show up when I click DOOM IT.
closed Yack Fest doesn’t appear in the search results.
It doesn’t even work when I use quotation marks.
Sure, I can access the Yack Fest page easily by setting it as a favourite, but I just want to make sure this isn’t because Yack Fest is being phased out or anything.
Edited by MisterToodleooclosed Folder control on TLP not working
On TLP now, the folder control only opens the first folder.
closed Old Search Relevance Seems to Look at Forums First?
I understand old search is old for a reason, but recently it seems that the relevance sort has been changed somehow to prioritize forum results first then the actual relevant TV Tropes page. Say I search for "One Piece", it'll show all the forum discussions first and on the second page show the Manga page. The results seem to vary a bit depending on if the forums have "relevant" titles but overall it isn't actually being relevant.
New search seems to work fine but I only ever use old search.
Thank you for your time.
closed Folders Not Opening if a Stickied Post has a Folder
In this forum post, the first folder can't open, while in this forum page, all the folders can't open. However, the folder in the stickied OP can still be opened. I tried fixing this bug by clearing my cache, but it didn't work.
closed Blinding Lights on Night Vision Search
When I use the search function with Night Vision on, the results are still in white, as if Night Vision was off.
I remember a previous bug report mentioning this, but the discussion about it stalled before it could be fixed, so I'm making a new query about it.
Edited by JHD0919closed Old Search broke
Reposting from here, the Old Search seems to be stuck indefinitely. New Search is fine for now.
closed Italics don’t work on mobile (iOS)
Say I want to talk about how much I love ‘’Kath & Kim’’ . It won’t let become italicised on mobile, it’ll just stay as to apostrophes.
Every time I refresh or open a new page, I get a notification that I don't have an email address and need one to use the site. This is bizarre, as: 1) I've had a valid email address for years, 2) I haven't changed my address recently, and 3) I can still edit without any issue.
When I try to enter my current address, I'm told it's already in use. I also cannot send a report to the Admins: when I fill out the forms and verify that I'm not a robot, clicking SEND does nothing. Is anyone else having these issues?
