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 Issue with avatar sharing
In the profile, avatar sharing is always disabled, and cannot be activated properly. Attempting to do so and then saving the changes does nothing.
closed Stretched Avatars
It seems avatars that aren't exactly the right size become stretched and deformed.
closed Can't turn on 'Accept Shared Avatars'
When I go to Viewing Options on my profile and turn on 'Accept Shared Avatars', it resets back to being off after I hit Save. The other options can turn on and off just fine, it's only this one that's a problem.
closed Forum navigation footer missing from thread pages.
The thread pages have lost the navigation footer that allowed returning to the parent forum without scrolling all the way back to the top.
closed Trying to edit a reply on this page deletes it.
I first added to one of my posts by posting a reply, because there is no edit button for queries. But then, I tried to add to my reply using its edit button, and instead it completely disappeared.
closed The header of Ask the tropers shows "Tv Tropes" twice
it reads "Ask The Tropers - TV Tropes - TV Tropes"
closed Thread watchlist gone from forum page bottoms
At least on thread pages, the thread watchlist link is only at the top of the page, so when coming to the end of a thread and wanting to go back to the watchlist, I have to jump back to the top of the page.
closed Trivia and YMMV tropes saying containing YMMV examples
Since the new update, almost every Trivia and YMMV example I see on a work subpage says it contains a YMMV example and needs to be moved to the YMMV tab, even though it's already on the YMMV subpage.
closed PROBLEM WITH TO DO LIST
I can't edit or remove text from my To Do List. The only thing I get after clicking on Edit/Remove button is just withe, empty space with small "This should't be needed" text in left, upper corner
closed Site is incredibly slow
Pretty sure this is due to the new ads, which all seem to be Flash. I'm on a 1-year-old Mac Book Pro using Firefox and I get the evil beachball for about 3-4 seconds when every page loads. Even typing this question is laggy.
closed Edit filtering not working
Attempting to filter the list of edits based on namespace doesn't seem to be working.
closed Recent Changes won't sort.
On the Recent Changes page, there's a dropdown menu that allows you to filter through the most recent edits by namespace (e.g., Film, YMMV, Discussions, etc). The problem is that the filter doesn't work at all, it only refreshes the page.
closed No preview button.
When I'm on the editing page, I notice that there's no preview button, without it I'm not sure whether or not my edits are fine.
closed "Show flagged only" missing from YKTTW
YKTTW seems to be missing the option where you could flag certain entries, and only see them if you wanted to. That was pretty handy if you wanted to follow only certain entries, now you have to search for them through the search box, and you can only do that if you remember some key words about the entry.
workingLine number in History
The History seems to have a problem detecting the line number of an edit: If you remove a line and add one, even much apart from each other, the History gives them both the same line number.
Addition: Okay, it's a bit more complicated that what I described the first time. There is indeed a problem with the History if you move an entry to a different spot on the page (either because it was mis-alphabetized [list of tropes on a work page] or in the wrong folder [list of examples on a trope page]).
However, the History reacts differently depending on whether you have moved the entry UP or DOWN. If you delete a line to move it lower on the page, then you'll have first a "Deleted line(s)" in the History with the correct position, followed by an "Added Diff Lines:" below. Added lines never have the line number specified, but that's a different problem.
On the other hand, if you delete a line to move it above its current position on the page, then the History will display "Added line(s) X,Y" followed by "Deleted line(s) X,Y", and this case the position given is the same for both. It seems to be the "Deleted line(s)" one which is correct, thus the "Added line(s)" having a bug.
Edited by StFanclosed Page edit form lacks preview button
Was wanting to check if I'd got my edit looking right when I noticed the lack of a preview button. Is this a bug or was it deliberate?
closed Cutlist issue
"Creating red links" and "Abandoning inbounds" are displaying twice on the page, with only the first listing correct.
Here, on ATT, etc. I can only edit my replies to posts, there's no button on the original post.
Also, could the Edit Post button be slightly bigger, please?
