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.

workingVideos play audio for a split second when they're supposed to be muted
When a video is first loaded, it's unmuted for the first frame or so it starts playing and then mutes itself, resulting in a seemingly random blip of sound.

workingVideo sounds for one second sometimes
Sometimes when you load up a page with video examples, the audio of the featured video or last video posted sounds its audio for one second before going silent when it should only make sound when the video is open.
workingpagination not working on "My Videos"
If you go to Recent Videos
and select "my videos" it shows you your most recent video uploads, up to 25 per page. But if I try to click the next page button it takes me to page 2 of "all videos" instead.

Can't seem to get to the second page of my uploaded videos. When I click the button it just takes me to the general "recent videos" page.

closed Avatar Gallery not showing other avatars
The avatars page is showing that "there are no avatars", when I have 250+ avatars in there.
Also, I can't seem to upload new avatars.

closed Can't upload image
For some reason, I can't upload a certain image I want to upload into TV Tropes. For context, this was the image used
. I converted it into a PNG, and it seemed to accept it, though it still wouldn't. Why?
EDIT: Somehow fixed it by uploading it onto mobile. Seems strange that this only happens on computers though.
EDIT 2: Turns out any image by the Wikia (or so I've seen) results in the webpage not accepting my images on the computer.

closed Why is desktop display showing up for mobile too and not, like, the mobile display instead?
I'm having a really weird bug where TV Tropes is using the desktop display on mobile instead of using, you know, the mobile display.

closed Weird labelnote bug on this Taylor Swift page
I was adding an entry to Memes.Taylor Swift. I but for some reason displayed this is the output.
I checked and checked again to see if there were any formatting errors with my entry. Nope. That's just how it was outputed. What happened here?

workingLive Blogs indexing is screwed up
Sorting by "Latest Updated" is backwards - it starts with the most necrotic live blogs on page 1 and ends with the most recently updated ones on the last page. The Author and Subject sorting options don't work at all, they just sort things the same way as Latest Updated.
closed YouTube captcha
I was in the forums when I noted that embedded YouTube videos now require captcha. I tried one four time but it did't go through or give anything suggesting I input it wrong. Anything going on with that?
I'm on Safari in mobile, so is it just me?
opensome custom wikiwords with CamelCase display incorrectly in pothole
Keith Le Blanc's wikiword is "Keith LeBlanc", and displays as such when you go onto the page, but any potholes look like "Keith Le Blanc". as with Matt Le Blanc, whose wikiword is "Matt LeBlanc", but potholes look like "Matt Le Blanc". for some reason, though, We Will Use WikiWords in the Future and RoboCop are fine

openFanfic/BeautifulFictionsBabylon has no date data, despite being edited in 2020.
Fanfic.Beautiful Fictions Babylon somehow has no creation or modification date, despite being edited in 2020.
Anyone know how to find other pages with the issue so we can probably fix them by editing them? Or why this happened at all?
They don't even show up on Related Pages, such as the Ill Boy related pages.
I bet it's due to something about page moves, but I'm going to move it to Fanfic.Babylon Beautiful Fiction, since it's a bad disambig name anyway.

openGlitched page in invalid namespace
Tropers./UnknownTroper (note the dot) is a page that exists, despite Tropers./ not being a well-formed namespace. Attempting to view it redirects to the valid page Tropers/Unknown Troper. Most other attempts to interact with it fail, treating the page as nonexistent.

openLive Blog trouble
I've been attempting to set up a Live Blog, and it seemingly lets me publish a first page, but I'm not able to edit that page further without it sending me to a blank screen (specifically, one with the text "Something went horribly wrong. The LB has lost its identity. Back up and try again."), and my blog doesn't show up on the index list at all, so I don't think it actually did get published.

workingBrowse Page Stretches Out Images
Having spent a lot of time on the browse page, I have noticed that the page often stretches out the images. Usually, it is only slight (as in it is noticeable yet subtle enough to the point that you can get used to it) but quite a few, usually more recent, pictures lately have been stretched far more noticeably (For example, the image for The Lion Guard's tearjerker page is stretched out so much when it appears on a browse page with the tearjerker filter turned on that my browser often struggles to load it). Good to note that the images are only stretched out for the first bit of a browse page results batch that loads, any more results that decide to load up after the initial part of the batch are not stretched.

workingLinks on titles don't work in queries
By title, I mean this thing:
In the forums, it displays correctly:
But in queries, notice how the link is broken:
On the related
tab for Post-Cyberpunk, there's this link weirdly written CyberpunkIsTechnoandLaconic.Cyber Punk Is Techno appearing that leads to an Inexact Title page, yet somehow it appears on the articles list when there is no link to it on any page. I tried submitting it to the Cut List, but it wasn't accepted.
