Below you'll find content that has been reported but is not technically broken.

  • At this time, transparency only works on images viewed when displayed in full view.
  • Icons linked in the :iconusername: and :usernameicon: formats update at midnight EST after being updated, not immediately.
  • There is a limit to the number of :iconusername:/:usernameicon: icons that will be displayed. This limit is separate for each post/section of information (eg profile info, journal, comment, etc) and any attempts to link icons beyond the limit will result in a plain text userpage link.
  • Currently search queries that are 3 letters and under do not return results.
----------------------

If you are experiencing a problem that isn't listed in this thread please open a trouble ticket under the "Report A Bug" category. Make sure to include the following information in your ticket:

What Site Layout/Theme you're using. (You can check this here if you're not sure)
What browsers and operating systems/devices you've run into this problem on. (For example, Safari on iPhone and/or Firefox on PC running Windows 10)

Please check to see if you still run into the problem even with all browser extensions/addons disabled before opening a ticket as that solves many problems users experience.
