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.

openClock broken?
When I was looking around at the forums, I noticed that some edited posts incorrectly state the time they were edited, such as AM and PM being switched around, or the hour the edit was made being different. Anyone else noticing this?
openTrope Description Thread Bugfix Drive
When I follow the Trope Description Improvement Drive thread, clicking the thread name on my followed threads list always sends me to page 1 instead of page 218. The thread is also always marked as unread on the followed threads list, regardless of how many times I click on it.
(Also, clicking on the thread from the Long Term Projects thread list works as normal.)
EDIT: This image I hope should illustrate my problem.
Edited by JHD0919closed 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.

Edited by MaladyopenSuperscript not sticking after making an edit
I have been having trouble making an edit because of superscript not working as intended. (The example I'm using is on the SiIvaGunner page.)
When I had finished making the edit, the page displayed the superscript as normal (image below).
However, when viewing the history, where the superscript was added was instead interpreted as a line break. This also occurred when writing the unicode and html designations for the character instead of pasting the superscript in.
In the editor, this change was retained as well.
In order to keep the superscript in, I have had to manually re-add the character every time I have edited the page.
Edited by nanakiroclosed 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.
openToo small box for the video example description
If a video example features a lengthier description, it's nigh-impossible to read properly as the box is too small and even a single mouse wheel stroke scrolls too far, skipping over part of the text. Using the scroll bar is difficult as it's quite thin and requires excessive precicion to handle. It even seems its handle is slightly misaligned.
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.
workingTwo revisions for one page on Followed Pages
When I followed Fun with Acronyms, two revisions of that page show up on Followed Pages. The first is the most recent revision, while the second is an extremely old revision.
openI can't post on the Edit Banned thread.
Around a year ago, I was really annoying in the Trash Heap and gotten banned from Yack Fest as a result. The restrictions of being banned still apply, but I can't post in the Edit Banned thread. Could this be due to the system not expecting a ban from the Yack Fest?
openPages lacking namespace
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pagelist_having_pagetype_in_namespace.php?n=&t=work
Can't be edited or cut. Mods can't do anything, and they cause ghost wicks that only can be detected if their targets are redirects. Such as Nakama from:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/folderizer.php?target=.iceheart
That's the only way to see contents.
This is just so there's visibility on the problem.
openWikiword doesn't work for one page
The custom title of Nory Ryans Song only works if the whole title is in brackets, like this: Literature/{{noryryanssong}}. I think the page was originally created with the entire URL in lowercase. I have no way of fixing it. I posted on Ask the Tropers here, but someone suggested I report it as a bug instead.
Edited by Madison14closed 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.
Why is it, when I edit a draft in the Trope Launch Pad, the double backslashes (\), used to start a new paragraph, get deleted?
Every time I edit one of my drafts, I have to add them back again; even simply posting a reply under one of my drafts is enough to delete some of the backspaces, which I then have to manually add for the next edit.
This happens only with drafts, editing a post in a forum or a page doesn't seem to indirectly affect the backslashes.
It's getting kinda annoying, so I wondered what could be the cause behind it, and if a solution would be impossible or not.
