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 "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.
closed Thread reading issuse
When opening a thread that you've read before, it does not default you position on the page to the last post that you've read as it used to, but instead just dumps you at the very top of the page.
workingNo option to Find Edits by Troper in mobile site
It appears at the bottom of the main menu on the desktop site, but isn't there on mobile.
closed Issues with submitting queries with long titles?
Twice I've attempted to send in a query with a long title and neither time it did save.
closed YMMV and Trivia Tropes
YMMV and Trivia tropes are flagged with the YMMV/Trivia symbol in place of the bulletpoint, even when they're already on YMMV or Trivia pages.
closed Watchlist issues
1. Unlike the old style, there's no indication that a page is newly edited other than it going to the top of the page. (IE, the bulletpoint turning red or something.)
2. The watchlist doesn't say what kind of page has been edited. (IE, if the characters page for "House" has been edited, it simply reads "House", rather than "Characters: House" or showing the symbol for character pages or something like that.)
closed Replies cannot be seen on this page (or any YKTS-like page, it sounds)
Whenever I post a reply, it is visible, but it disappears when the page is refreshed. The "Toggle Children" button does nothing.
closed Page content suddenly invisible
I just finished an edit on the Kingdom Hearts Enemy Creatures page, and when I got back to the page all the content was gone. I clicked "edit" again to make sure I hadn't deleted it by accident, and the full content still seems to be there. It just isn't being displayed for some reason.
Edited by SeptimusHeapclosed Night Vision mode display bugs
1. Many text elements, such as on the profile screen, the body of any PM, and the Send button when writing a new post, are almost or entirely unreadable. 2. When viewing a topic, the background color for the page you're on is the same as the background color for any other page, making it impossible to know which page is currently being viewed.
closed Night Vision Problems
1, The 'send' button is hard to read in the post creator. 2. Private messages are also hard to read. 3. Your current thread page won't highlight, making hard to see where you are.
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.
