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 Wishlist.
working(Only some) images not showing up
Exactly that. It only happens on this website, so it's not a problem with my computer. It looks like this
on mobile and like this on desktop. When I try to open the image itself, it says there's a 504 error, which means that the images aren't loading quickly enough.
workingImage uploader button doesn't work
The image uploader button in the forums doesn't do anything anymore.

workingSlashes in quotation Marks in Discussion pages
For some reason the quotation marks on discussion pages now add random slashes.
Note that if I edit my post, I don't see any slashes to remove.

openMark All as Read button problem
When I was on the forums and clicked the Mark All as Read button, it triggers a warning that says "Whoops, something went wrong..." Can someone please look into this?
openForum thread always marked as unread
No matter how many times I go to the last page of the "Night in the woods" thread on the forums, it's still showing up in the "Followed Threads" list as unread, and is always linking to the first page. As far as I've seen, this is the only thread having this issue, other threads are working normally.
openno title
The thumbs up and thumbs down icons still have white backgrounds that need to be made transparent.

workingHats and Bombs problem
So I wanted to hat a draft only to discover that, as many times I could click the "yes" button, nothing would happen until I cancelled, in which case my hat wasn't added. Refreshing doesn't help, and the same thing happens when trying to bomb, I just get the "yes/cancel" option and nothing happens upon hitting "yes"... except that the page jumps to the top the first time.
EDIT: Can't seem to edit drafts either, and another user (Basara-Kun) reported this same thing.

openUneven margins for indented text
You can see this effect in the description of Anecdotal Fallacy. When text gets indented, the top margin is considerable smaller than the bottom margin, making the section look off-center.

openCan't delete avatars.
I can't delete my avatars. I don't know why https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=56003&type=bug was closed without notifying me of a response almost a year later, but it is still a problem.
closedCan't delete avatars
All questions I see are from a year ago. all of which are closed so this must be new. Its simple, I can't delete my avatars.
openFollowing pages still does not work
I've been following Game Gourmet for some time now, and I am still not notified in any way whenever other tropers make edits or add examples to the page.
openVotes not appearing in crowners
I've tried to vote on a few crowners. The page reloads but the vote (up or down) isn't recorded. It lets me click again, but still nothing.
openZelda's trope example has a note format gone wrong
This example entry for Princess Zelda of ALTTP has a bug where the note format is not working despite working for Ganon.
- Everything's Better with Princesses: She is the only maiden with a name and personality, and she happens to be a princess. Although her father was the King of Hyrule,note her status as the Princess has no relevance to the story aside from giving Link bad publicity for the villagers.
workingCan't reply on Discussion pages
I was able to start a Discussion page on The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, but I can't reply to it.

openInconsistent formatting with double-spacing
Into the Breach looked fine before the site update, but afterwards most of the double-spacing/paragraph formatting stopped working. I added in :: and \ formatting throughout, but :: doesn't always work, while \ seems like it makes a larger space between paragraphs. I'm not quite sure why it doesn't always register — is there something in the paragraphs themselves that would be causing it not to work?
workingThe link to a Visual Novel's main page is hidden in the "more" section
For every other type of work, there's a button near the top of the page for the work's type namespace, which links back to the main trope page. But if a Visual Novel has a lot of subpages, that button will be hidden in the "more" section. I'm pretty sure that's not intended behavior since no other work type that I know of does this.
For an example of this bug in action, see Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony.
closed Broken Images
All Images are broken, and it keeps telling me that im using adblock when adblock is off on this site ( i can see ads)
openTlp and crowner bug?
I can't add bombs or hats in TLP and I can't vote in crowners. Is there a ban or something active or is this a bug?
openBug Report: Commenting out an entry mess with indentation
See for yourself. Every entries after the first one are on two bullets level, but I comment out the fourth entry.
- First
- Second
- Third
- Fifth
- Sixth
- Seventh
Here's another example, the fifth to seventh entries are three bullet and I comment out the sixth.
- First
- Third (single bullet is unaffected)
- Fourth
- Fifth
- Fourth
- Seventh
- Eight
closed Random links outta nowhere
For some reason, whenever you mash a bunch of letters and numbers together, the editor automatically assumes that it's a trope name or something. This is most noticable with firearm names, which usual feature a mismash of letters and numbers ("M 1911 A 1", for example, will link to the nonexistent page of the same name).

workingMain/TropeLaunchPad redirect broken
Main/TropeLaunchPad is not redirecting me to the actual TLP. I've tried it in my phone, same thing. Main/MainPage, on the other hand, works perfectly fine.
workingPitch generator
The pitch generator won't reset with new works once I click refresh. The page reloads but it's still the same. I've tried closing the tab and opening up a new one but I still get the same titles. Occasionally It does reset and give me a new list, but it still has the same problem. I can't get another new list after that.

Hi guys, it's been awhile since I've actually logged into this site but I decided instead of dredging up my old account I would just make a new one. But I can't. I've tried three browsers, made sure adblock was removed, I've tried several different emails, passwords, and usernames, with no luck. I've been getting a variety of false errors (i.e. "this email address is already in use" even though I know it isn't), but the most common one is "reCaptcha text did not match". There's no way that can be right. Apparently I'm not the only one having these issues either. Is this being looked into? Is there a fix coming? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?
I see that variants of this bug have been reported before, but the fixes haven't worked for me.
