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.
openAvatars are broken (on mobile at least)
I抦 on mobile and some of the avatars are showing up as blue boxes with a question mark. Anyone else getting this?

openDot point bug
I try to put a dot point under a trope but it doesn't work. When I go back to fix it the two asterisks are not aligned properly. Even when I align them it still doesn't create the dot point.
openBanner for ads still shows up even when adblocker is turned off
Title says it all. The browser is Google Chrome, and the adblocker is Ad Block. This happens on my computer and on my phone. Ads don't appear where it should when the adblocker is turned off, so I think it has something to do with whether the ads are displayed. I apologize if this is the wrong place; I have tried for some time but can't find a solution.

openFolder labels become "bold" when you use the scroll wheel
How to replicate this bug: move the mouse cursor over a closed folder, and then use the scroll wheel to scroll the page so the folder is no longer under the cursor. Then move the cursor a bit and the folder name will look like it's bolded.
What's probably happening is that the folder label is being displayed several times over itself, with each instance being shifted one pixel to the right.
I tried this on Chrome and Edge, and it "worked" on both.
openNintendo Wars - Page Content Not Showing - SOLVED
The page for Nintendo Wars is not displaying its content. (Here is a screenshot
◊ of what I'm seeing.)
I don't see anything in the markup that would be causing this at first glance, the page history seems fine, and I tried making a null edit (which has fixed past issues like this for me) to no avail. Any ideas?

openBizarre sidebar glitch on Surprisingly Realistic Outcome cleanup
For some bizarre reason, on the Surprisingly Realistic Outcome cleanup (and so far only that cleanup), the sidebar glitches out and appears on the bottom. Like so:
openBack to the Future Character sheet went blank.
I was just making a minor edit to fix a note label which was messing up a spoiler tag. Then when I saved it, the entire page went blank. I tried to do another minor edit and still got the same results. I did not clear anything in either edit. What happened? Hopefully no one's facing the same problem as I am. Using Chrome (computer) and Safari (mobile).

openFolder tags glitched?
I'm trying to add folder tags to a YMMV page that is getting a bit long, but when I previewed it the folder tags were broken. I thought that it might've been a preview-specific glitch, and I tried copying the folder text codes from a page that I knew to have functional folders, but it still doesn't work.
openPage disappeared while editing
I was in the middle of adding two new examples to the Real Life section and somehow the entire page disappeared. I was able to get it back, but now it抯 not linking to the subpages. I don抰 know what I did.
openLocked folders
I couldn't open folders on TV Tropes. It was working fine before, then after briefly going to another webpage and returning to TV Tropes, I found the folders closed and couldn't open any. I tried going to other pages with folders, but the folders wouldn't open there either. What should I do?
openTV tropes doesn't like my phone.
I was trying to browse this website on my smart phone, but I couldn't open any folders. I also couldn't post this problem here, and now I can't log on with my phone. It is, however, working on my tablet. Why is that?
openDropdown menus stopped working on mobile
I'm very suddenly not able to use the main site navigation menu, the account menu, or the individual post menu; I discovered this while trying to edit a post. This also means I can't holler for a mod, check notifications, or edit my profile, and had to rely on the search bar to get to this page. (Weirdly, the go-to menu for each page still works.) Reloading and clearing cache don't appear to have helped. What can I do?
openPreview Becomes Save
I have been trying to add new examples to the Kids' Meal Toy page as of late (as well as the corresponding franchises), but when I click Preview, instead of showing my edits in a new tab so I can proofread them before they're submitted, it automatically saves them even when they're not 100% ready and uses the same tab.
openRedirect target that's an Anchor Point doesn't work?
I tried and it failed, at least, with curly brace surrounding it all, vs. only the main page target, they all failed?
openIs the Film/SavannahSmiles image broken for anyone else?
The image◊ is reporting a Internal Server Error when I try to go to it, but every other image I see works fine?
Does that just mean there's no image where there should be one?

openRecap page not indexing
The Recap.Sesame Street page is not indexing any new recaps, no matter how many times I null edit the page.
openI can't seem to find the thread I post anywhere
It doesn't even give a hint of under moderation.
I am trying to create a page for a Genshin Impact fanfic, yet the site won't acknowledge the article every time I clicks on the edit button, insisting "there's no article named such on this Wiki". I have tried three times already and I'm starting to get annoyed. Is the Wiki glitching ?
