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.
openLaunched Tropes Missing from "Launched" Section of TLP
At least two tropes launched on 2/3 (Outcast Refuge and Monster in the Moat) do not show up in the "Launched" section of the TLP, under "New Articles", nor do they have "YKTTW Archive" link on their Discussion pages. Both were appropriately launched following all TLP guidelines and the trope pages are still fine. A mod mentioned in a forum query
that this is a known issue "that happens sometimes", but wanted to capture it here.

See how the "In the dub for the anime and fan and official translations of the manga" is a solid black bullet while the other level 2 subbullets above are white bullets.

I've noticed I have an unread reply and got an email for it, but don't see a red circle above the profile pic like usual. Pings are fine.

workingWhenever I edit in TLP, the edit screen literally expands to the bottom of the page
Here's the edit screen:
This bug only appears to happen at 100% zoom, editing the page zooming out beforehand seems to fix it, but this is getting annoying.
openCursor jumps at the end after inserting an emoji anywhere
This happens when composing a message in the forum and inserting an emoji (like [up]) somewhere else than the end of my message. In this case, the cursor jumps at the end of the message, instead of staying right after the inserted emoji markup.

openWide load not affecting header?
Not sure if this is a bug, or just a minor change, or my remembering things incorrectly, but it looks like the header stays within the bounds of the normal pillarboxed layout even when Wide Load is toggled on?

openFolders toggle in ATT
For some reason this query has the toggle-all-folders-button button inserted to the header.

openImages failing to load
Since a couple pf days ago I've noticed a significant increase in broken images on mobile - what was previously isolated to only a few avatars and pictures (apparently having to do with the file name) is now all over the place.
openImages List goofs
I was looking through Images List and I noticed a lot of images that are in pages don't show up as such, such as all but one of the images in Characters.Welcome Home. I think it might be a folders thing, with potentially the first folder exempt from this glitch, as the first image on the aformentioned Welcome Home page and the first image on Characters.Spooky Month Criminals And Monsters correctly show up.
Some images are also showing as being on pages when they aren't, such as the images list saying there's a picture on Replacement Love Interest, which is now a disambig.

closed (IGNORE) Bounced user still able to edit
EDIT: I've since been informed that the user in question was unbounced; I just thought there was a technical error.
While combing through the recent edits lists, I noticed that Ag Prov made an edit
to Saturday Morning Kids? Show. The edit's pretty innocuous, but what makes it stand out is the fact that this user was suspended for making transphobic edits and was ultimately bounced yesterday.

openGeneral search not showing releveant results
When using the site's general search function to locate a trope, media, etc, the search results are often incorrect, less relevant pages shown first, or searched target is missing altogether.
I originally posted this on the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds discussion page since it seemed to be limited either to that page or my account, but other users have confirmed also having this issue.
Original post: "Maybe it's just me, but this page seems to be very hard to find with search. After several different queries, and going several pages in, I had to give up and browse to it using the Star Trek (Franchise) page. Is there something wrong with the page tags, the search function, or another issue, or am I just really unlucky?"
Requesting full review and test of the TV Tropes.org search function by the relevant developer/team. Thank you.

closed Inexact title link
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.
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.

workingVideos
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.
When I followed Fun with Acronyms, two revisions of that page show up on Followed Pages. The first is the most recent revision, while the second is an extremely old revision.
