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.

closed Random Trope leading to the same page
Whenever I click the "Random Trope" button, it sends me only to "Have You Tried Rebooting?" trope page. I have tried clearing the cache, trying it on a different browser etc and it still doesn't work properly.
Edited by Eeler12345closed Video Thumbnail problem
Add me to the list of folks who have been unable to upload a new thumbnail for a video submission. In addition to what The Sponge Boy has tried I will add that I'm not using an ad-blocker.
Edited by Kalliclosed Can't upload video thumbnails for video examples
I need your help. I'm trying to upload thumbnails for my videos in the Edit Videos section and I noticed that the box is empty, even it was meant to say "Click or drag the image to upload" in order to upload the image by either clicking or dragging it. I tried to clear my cache, reboot my computer and using different browsers to see if it works, but unfortunately, nothing worked as the box is still empty. It's weird as it was actually working days ago, but since yesterday, I started to have this issue. I hope to see this issue gets resolved soon.
Here is the photographic evidence relating to this problem.◊
Edited by TheSpongeBoyclosed Unable to use dropdown menus on PC
Even as I type this, it's from my phone. I logged in yesterday (March 13th) to discover that my user profile drop-down menu wasn't working. I'm also unable to add replies to TLP drafts, and couldn't even submit this bug report because the Submit bug button didn't respond.
The bug persisted after i closed the browser.
Edited by DRCEQclosed Can't upload image/blank image upload pop up.
When I was trying to upload an image, the image uploader popup is completely blank and I can't click on it at all. Sometimes it'll fix itself when I restart the page, but it's only briefly before it goes blank again.
Here's what the pop up looks like on my end.◊.
Edited by Tylerbear12closed Can't follow or unfollow threads
The "Following" and "Follow" buttons do nothing. On any devices. No JS errors. Articles are fine.
Edited by Amonimusclosed Clicking the avatar at the top right does nothing
You know how you can click your avatar at the top right to access the article watchlist, the thread watchlist, profile, message box, etc.? I'm clicking it and the menu doesn't show anymore.
closed I Think There Is A Pretty Big Bug ON The Naruto Character Page
I am just here reporting on what could be pretty big erasure of a page, or a bug. When Going into the Naruto Character Sheet For Tailed Beasts And Hosts: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/NarutoTailedBeasts, its currently completely empty and barren and when checking the history it does not sage someone erased the page. If there is a reason for this or if its being fixed when I apologize for the text, But I just thought it was be worthy of reporting (especially if its not done by the time any person reads this
PS: Fellow Troper lapistier also noted that they cannot see the page as well, and goes on to say: "I can't see the page either but the page source still shows the text and it's still capable of being edited (though it doesn't show up in preview either and a null edit didn't change anything). At a glance I can't see any formatting errors that would normally eat up a page like that." And questions if its a Bug (As seen in this conversation: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=132313&type=att}, which is why I am reporting to check if that's the case.
closed Page note previewing or displaying
hi there,
The following page - Street Fighter IV - is not displaying (in Edit mode all text is still there, as is the page's History, and I've saved the text elsewhere just in case so it's not lost). It also doesn't show in preview mode - can someone advise, please? Thank you, Lex.
Edited by lexiiclosed The new edit reasons scrolldown has an awful gradient on mobile
Look at this:
Edit: Turns out this occurs on desktop too.
Edited by AudioSpeaks2closed Edits not showing up
I added some content to the Fanfic Recommendation Page of the Ternage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 and while they show up in edit history and preview mode, they don’t show up on the actual page
closed Issue with "Random Trope" button
For whatever reason, the "Random Trope" button has started only sending me to Have You Tried Rebooting?. This started very recently (measured in minutes), but it looks like it isn't just me.
closed Random Trope Not Working
Whenever I hit random trope it always takes me to the same page. Poetically, the page it keeps taking me to is "Have You Tried Rebooting?"
You mind seeing if it's a problem on your end?
closed There's a slash around the apostrophe whenever I use it on the crowner
So I notice there's a glitch where a slash (/) appears next to the apostrophe when I make a new crowner in Moments Images Cleanup Thread . I tried to remove it about 2 to 3 times but it still appears.
I think it only affects to me because of the grammar check app sometimes.
Here's the image of the problem:
Edited by Bubblepigclosed There's something wrong with MagnificentBastard.WesternAnimation and MagnificentBastard.ComicBooks
Recently, the Sandboxes which are used to make changes MagnificentBastard.Western Animation and MagnificentBastard.Comic Books were swapped to their respective pages in order to make edits to them because they are locked.
However, it seems like something's wrong with the pages, as the changes shown within the edit history aren't reflected in the page source, causing there to be no changes to the pages themselves. From checking the history of these page, it seems like the issue started on December 17th, 2023 for the Comic Books page and on December 31st, 2023 for the Western Animation page.
If anybody notices other pages with the same problem, please leave them in the comment section.
Furthermore, if somebody has an idea on what's causing the glitches to occur and/or how to solve this problem, please mention it in the comments so this issue can be resolved.
Edit: Moving this to Ask the Tropers due to me not gaining any response to my query.
Edited by jlvs200sclosed "Search By Troper" feature not showing up my own edits
I am digging up the edit history of VideoGame.Persona 3 and its related pages so that I could update/trim some trope examples I originally added/crosswicked, compare tropes/help in adding more content for Persona 3 Reload, or likely clean up misuse and bad indentations from my very old edits (as I recall I was a naive new troper who didn't even use edit reasons for simple crosswicking and wasn't aware of this wiki's recommended guidelines back then).
- The "Search By Troper" on the upper left doesn't show my name (not even in the dropdown list) nor provide a quick access to my edits... even though I swear Persona 3 was one of the game pages on this TV Tropes wiki which I "entry pimped" for quite a while. In fact, Page 26 shows I added/crosswicked several trope examples there 6 years ago.
- The "Search By Content" on the upper right does show my edits if I manually search the necessary keywords, such as the ShowWithinAShow example, which is still listed there on the page itself.
- It's happening on a spin-off's page as well (Persona 3: The Movie). The I Will Only Slow You Down example is still there in the page and was originally added by me on 2018, but my name isn't showing up in the "Search By Troper" feature.
Is the "Search By Troper" feature bugged in itself? Is it selectively not working properly on some specific pages? Did something happen in the edit histories of pages related to Persona 3 that they affected "Search By Feature"?
Edited by DanteVinclosed I got logged out of TV Tropes after a few hours for no apparent reason.
A few minutes ago, when I got to TV Tropes, I was logged out all of a sudden after a few hours of logging in for no apparent reason. Fortunately I had to log back in. Has the same random logout happened to you too?
I'm trying to upload an image for a video but I can't seem to do so. It's the same issue as this post.
