Hello!

Given the number of suggestions we’ve been receiving, we’re transitioning to a suggestion form. If you have a suggestion for the AoPS website, please submit the Google Form:
Suggestion Form

To keep all new suggestions together, any new suggestion threads posted will be deleted.

Please remember that if you find a bug outside of FTW! (after refreshing to make sure it’s not a glitch), make sure you’re following the How to write a bug report instructions and using the proper format to report the bug.

Please check the FTW! thread for bugs and post any new ones in the For the Win! and Other Games Support Forum.

k i Read me first / How to write a bug report
slester   3
N May 4, 2019 by LauraZed
Greetings, AoPS users!

If you're reading this post, that means you've come across some kind of bug, error, or misbehavior, which nobody likes! To help us developers solve the problem as quickly as possible, we need enough information to understand what happened. Following these guidelines will help us squash those bugs more effectively.

Before submitting a bug report, please confirm the issue exists in other browsers or other computers if you have access to them.

For a list of many common questions and issues, please see our user created FAQ, Community FAQ, or For the Win! FAQ.

What is a bug?
A bug is a misbehavior that is reproducible. If a refresh makes it go away 100% of the time, then it isn't a bug, but rather a glitch. That's when your browser has some strange file cached, or for some reason doesn't render the page like it should. Please don't report glitches, since we generally cannot fix them. A glitch that happens more than a few times, though, could be an intermittent bug.

If something is wrong in the wiki, you can change it! The AoPS Wiki is user-editable, and it may be defaced from time to time. You can revert these changes yourself, but if you notice a particular user defacing the wiki, please let an admin know.

The subject
The subject line should explain as clearly as possible what went wrong.

Bad: Forum doesn't work
Good: Switching between threads quickly shows blank page.

The report
Use this format to report bugs. Be as specific as possible. If you don't know the answer exactly, give us as much information as you know. Attaching a screenshot is helpful if you can take one.

Summary of the problem:
Page URL:
Steps to reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
...
Expected behavior:
Frequency:
Operating system(s):
Browser(s), including version:
Additional information:


If your computer or tablet is school issued, please indicate this under Additional information.

Example
Summary of the problem: When I click back and forth between two threads in the site support section, the content of the threads no longer show up. (See attached screenshot.)
Page URL: http://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c10_site_support
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to the Site Support forum.
2. Click on any thread.
3. Click quickly on a different thread.
Expected behavior: To see the second thread.
Frequency: Every time
Operating system: Mac OS X
Browser: Chrome and Firefox
Additional information: Only happens in the Site Support forum. My tablet is school issued, but I have the problem at both school and home.

How to take a screenshot
Mac OS X: If you type ⌘+Shift+4, you'll get a "crosshairs" that lets you take a custom screenshot size. Just click and drag to select the area you want to take a picture of. If you type ⌘+Shift+4+space, you can take a screenshot of a specific window. All screenshots will show up on your desktop.

Windows: Hit the Windows logo key+PrtScn, and a screenshot of your entire screen. Alternatively, you can hit Alt+PrtScn to take a screenshot of the currently selected window. All screenshots are saved to the Pictures → Screenshots folder.

Advanced
If you're a bit more comfortable with how browsers work, you can also show us what happens in the JavaScript console.

In Chrome, type CTRL+Shift+J (Windows, Linux) or ⌘+Option+J (Mac).
In Firefox, type CTRL+Shift+K (Windows, Linux) or ⌘+Option+K (Mac).
In Internet Explorer, it's the F12 key.
In Safari, first enable the Develop menu: Preferences → Advanced, click "Show Develop menu in menu bar." Then either go to Develop → Show Error console or type Option+⌘+C.

It'll look something like this:

Jan 18, 2018
If you find content on the AoPS Community that makes you concerned for a user's health or safety, please alert AoPS Administrators using the report button (Z) or by emailing sheriff@aops.com . You should provide a description of the content and a link in your message. If it's an emergency, call 911 or whatever the local emergency services are in your country.

Please also use those steps to alert us if bullying behavior is being directed at you or another user. Content that is "unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable" (AoPS Terms of Service 5.d) or that otherwise bullies people is not tolerated on AoPS, and accounts that post such content may be terminated or suspended.

My favorite problems on the state test were target #6 and sprint #29. I loved the aha moment when I saw pascal's triangle on target #6, and even though I got sprint #29 wrong due to a long division error, it was so much fun to use the sum of the factors trick to find the right answer!
Also: My score was 29 with 12 on target and 17 (sad sillies) on sprint, so I didn't make CDR :(
