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

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

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.
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.

PAGE NOT SCROLLING DOWN ALL THE WAY; GETS STUCK 1.5 POSTS BEFORE THREAD END

Summary of the problem:
Whenever I push the big, top right "Reply" button– NOT THE SMALL LITTLE "QUICK REPLY" BAR ON THE BOTTOM, and reply, I can't scroll down all the way to the bottom of the thread that I just posted in. Sometimes, very rarely though, I doesn't scroll down all the way when I push the "Quick Reply" bar.
Recently, I have been experiencing an issue where i can't type into the boxes that professors post during a lesson. I can't input an answer and i've tried refreshing multiple times and it doesn't work. This has happened in many lessons in a row. Please help! Also, is there a way to make Aops dark mode?
If you open a PM, specify yourself, and put something there, then hit send, it says you are automatically included and if you want to talk to yourself, leave the to box blank. If you leave the box blank, it won't send the PM because the to box is blank
Summary of the problem: My alcumus account has been "banned"
Page URL: Anywhere on alcumus
Steps to reproduce (I reccomend you don't):
1. Answer questions extremely quickly whilst spamming the enter button
Expected behavior: You'll get banned. I believe this is some sort of system to disable bots.
Frequency: I'm not sure.
Operating system(s): Acer 311 Chromebook
Browser(s), including version: Google Chrome
Additional information: I believe this is due to the fact that I knew most of the questions either by heart or because they are extremely easy (It was multiplying fractions in pre-algebra that got me banned), and as a result I was going too fast and was spamming inputs into the system, similar to a bot. I wasn't using a bot, however. I'm not even grinding HOF- I had broken record as a quest with my problem streak being 399 previously, so my usage of the same subject to get a bunch correct was lowk necessary ngl.
Quick question because I’m new here, I keep searching keywords in the community search functions to check if they’ve been posted before, and every time it ended up not finding the original, leading to a repost. This has happened so many times I’ve decided not to post anymore until I can somehow find a way to efficiently search for it.
I accidentally reposted a Putnam 2006, even though I searched for the keywords in the question, but since I didn’t know it was a Putnam problem (I had seen it somewhere else), I didn’t manage to find the problem so unknowingly reposted it.
There are four homework problems that are REALLY BUGGING ME because I CANNOT FIND THE ANSWER. :mad:
Can I make a forum where I can ask questions about these problems? Can I make one as long as it follows the AoPS Honor Code and the Terms of Service? (I can explicitly state that in the forum.)
If I have to I can make it private with a few select people. Or can I make a blog version? ;)
I know this was kind of already adressed in the "Is there a forum?" thread, but that was for existing forums. This is for a potential new public/private forum. :)
its been 30 days since i joined, but im still not able to add my status or upload my profile picture, or use latex in the forums, this is really bugging me out
Is there a limit to the stamina XP you can get in one week? I have 4200 XP this week, but I can't find any more problems with stamina XP. On the HoF leaderboard, only littleduckysteve has more than 4200 XP.
Write then we will show that the limit equals .
We have when . Fix then for large we have .
Hence instead of the given limit we can consider .
Write .
Then and . The result follows.
@below: I don't think it works since it is only given that is differentiable in .
