Major Issues Rod Upgrading
At this time do not try to upgrade your rod if you do NOT have enough gold.
There seems to be a glitch in which if you try to upgrade and do not have enough gold, the rod seems to vanish. I do not know if this happens also if you DO have enough gold, but it seems mostly to be users whom don't have enough gold who are reporting it.
UPDATE: Possibly resolved, need to research first.
Fishing Buckets are not always saved (D bait?) *
Users are reporting that when fishing with D bait, although the scores are recorded, the fish are not being saved to their inventory. There have been a few reports that indicate it may not only be D bait as well. There are no known workarounds for this at the moment.
UPDATE: Possibly not a problem anymore, trying to find out from active fishers if its still be a problem recently
Minor Issues GAIA Fishing 1.5 - Reporting Thread
You may report all GAIA Fishing v1.5 related glitches and bugs to this thread here:
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7473062
Unable to access multiplayer (novarren)
Some people are having problems accessing multiplayer, getting the "Game In Play" glitch in some locations, apparently this is a possible problem if you tend to quit/save and quit in the middle of a game. Its said if you make sure to do a full bucket and let it auto-save, this should not be a problem
Workaround: Go to the fishing store. If you get a screen beforehand, click the "override" setting. Try again. If it doesn't work, singleplayer fishing should be fine.
Reporting: If you still are having problems with multiplayer fishing in multiple locations, you may report it here:
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8685570
Please read all of the first post before reporting it to that thread.
Multiplayer fishing not saving (novarren)
Some people have been reporting that playing multiplayer fishing, they cannot save their buckets, however single player seems to save buckets fine.
Fishing Buckets are not always saved (D bait?)
Users are reporting that when fishing with D bait, although the scores are recorded, the fish are not being saved to their inventory. There have been a few reports that indicate it may not only be D bait as well. There are no known workarounds for this at the moment.
List of older problems
Sevi Rais ~Buckets of fish disappearing
~Certain buttons not showing up
~Saving your catches? Maybe?
Can't use < in a chat room, it will not enter and will block all text after it entered from appearing.
The "single/multi player" window and the "Join/create" window wont disappear.
Fish Exchange - Trading In
Some people are reporting that they're not able to trade in for items when reaching their # of items normal for trade in, such as 100 guppies or what not
UPDATE: Possibly fixed

Major Issues Saving Changes
Some people are having problems with Saving their Houses, where they go in and change everything, click save and try to save and it does not actually save.
For the most part, there seems to be a workaround that i've realized, although it seems to not always work for everyone. The way to try and work around this is to Clear your Room, and after doing that, try to go back in, re-edit it all and save again.
UPDATE: This doesn't seem to work for everyone anymore, or possibly at all period. Listed as updated, but not longer classed as a workaround.
Minor Issues Glitched Item Listing/Placement
Some people find when they have multiple of an item, it won't always show all the items, only one of them. Also when trying to place an item it will cause errors, or grey out things without placing them and such.
Error Messages
Users seem to still randomly get error messages while loading their homes for editing or sometimes even viewing. Most of the time these are tied to avatars or items, so usually when getting them try to see if you can figure out which item it is via the error reply, else just try to remove items a bit at a time. Other than that is just waiting a while and trying again later.
Username glitch in viewer
Currently usernames in Housing is displaying WWWWWWWWWWWAAAA and so on as the username, while amusing, tis not supposed to be doing that sweatdrop
Aekea Housing Commission
Upon trying to upgrade housing styles, the little window that shows up does not always display, to see the house styles, right click in the middle area, where they are shown in the example below and click "Show Picture" to show the style if you wish to view them to click on them easier:

Major Issues Browser/OS Crashes
Now, there is no official statement on GAIA Towns requirements other than Macromedia Flash 7 is required, however from personal testing on my systems, Here is some un-official requirements as in system specifications which will hopefully prevent Browser and even System related crashes:
Arethic GAIA Towns was tested on a 2.8GHz P4 with 512MB of RAM, and a 500MHz PIII with 192MB or RAM. Base line I can recommend is to atleast have 128MB of RAM and atleast 750MHz or higher, my 500MHz system did run it, but chunkily, with many browser crashes (At times when there are near 2-3 status pages of users in the area IE would take anywhere from 120-150MB of memory mixed between the RAM and page file, it does this still on the 2.8GHz system and still does manage to at times take a constant run of about 40-50% of the CPU processes.) So in simple, un-official (recommended) requirements:A Processor at atleast 750MHz or higher and atleast 128 MB of RAM.
Minor Issues GAIA Towns Problems
Many users are reporting problems getting into towns, or getting into towns but not being able to navigate outside of the trainstation.
UPDATE: This doesn't seem to be as large-scale of an error for members as it was, but it is still affecting some people.
Never Loads
There are multiple problems with no loads in Towns, amongst them being problems with the navigation not loading, and the "Entering GAIA Towns" never sliding away properly.
Non-Updated Avatars in GAIA Towns
People are reporting that changes they've made to their avatars are not showing up in GAIA Towns after they save their avatar and go back in. There is no current work around.
UPDATE: This is mostly seeming to be cache related. You need to do a manual dump/empty of the cache of your browser in order to resolve this, else wait a little while as Towns will auto recycle your cache and show your updated browser.
For manual cache clearing methods, here is methods how to for a few common browsers:
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=433764
Saved Houses in Towns
Recently members houses (after being saved) have not been properly updating in GAIA Towns, or glitching.
There is only one work around I know of which sometimes work, and sometimes does not, is to do a Clear Room function and then try to re-save your house, it should update it in Towns then, but as I noted already, it doesn't always work.
Also note that Clearing your cache (Yes they did seem to make Towns so it would cache things like the houses, rooms possibly, avatars, etc), as it might also resolve outdated avatars and/or houses that should be updated when they are not. This must be a hard cache clear though, not just a quick refresh, you must enter your browsers preferences/options and manually dump the cache.
Chatting
There are three problems with chatting right now, one of them being where you are able to see other user's chat bubbles, however not your own. The other one being that the Chat bar isn't showing up for some people. And the last one being that apparently you cannot use < in towns, else it has the tendency of not showing up, and also sometimes breaking the little chatbox to where it no longer scrolls or shows any further text.
Undefined
There are a few problems with the 'Undefined' glitch, two of them being right now where avatars will show up as 'Undefined' with a name, where as the Avatar shows fine though. Other one being sometimes if you go through NPC dialogs too quickly (I found this out with Bogie the hard way >_o) that it will just get stuck on a "Undefined" wording, which you can't excape unless you close Towns and re-load it.
Fast Typing
Issues where its reported fast typing is a problem... one being from the thread in Towns (which i'm not sure how to exactly go further in detail of this other than how they put it), and its "When one types too fast, and then tries to open the chat box window, it stops showing what anyone is typing.", other one being that sometimes if you type to fast, hit the enter or what not to send and keep typing, sometimes from the lag it seems that the original text will not clear properly.
Dormant Net
People are reporting that when trying to catch a bug that the net is not returning to them with the bug, I've had this problem a few times, and usually if I walk back near the net and click on it, around it, the middle of it (where the bug would be at) it will finally come back either with the bug or as a miss.
Robot Death lock xp
Apparently sometimes when you try to click on the robot to drop bugs off to it, it will lock you in place where you cannot move, sorta like a vulcan death lock but bogie style xp

OMG... my gold dropped/my gold dropped and went back up!?!
This happens sometimes. The first thing you need to do is try to clear your cache, usually a Quick Clear resolves this, which you can do by holding CTRL on the keyboard and clicking the refresh icon of the browser (Win/Linux), if you want to clear all cache, you can find a guide covering a few common browsers and how to clear their cache by Clicking Here
After that, if your gold is still at a lower amount, check your bank and if you use the marketplace there also, as common mistakes made is that people forget they had a pending bid on an item which finally took their gold, or a pending trade in the bank which took their gold. Also wise to check the bank for any perhaps unauthorized trades, in which if you do find one you do not believe you started, then fill out a 'Hacking Report' which you can find the link to at the bottom of the forum Index.
Hey look, I found a typo!
... yeah, well... typo's (bad grammar in general) are not glitches or bugs... but I prefer to call them things that will take a long time to fix, most likely when GAIA is up and ready to go into Beta sweatdrop
I have a duplicated item eek
Okay, so this IS a bit of a glitch of sorts, but its not too common, and there is one solution i'm aware of offhand, and that is to contact an Omnimoderator and report the duplicated item to them.
'Find your latest topics' function
This isn't really a glitch anymore, its broke yes, but its a function which has been rather rumoured by staff even that will not be getting fixed. You will find better results by making use of the 'Find your own posts'.
Where is my new hairstyle!?!
I've never really considered this a glitch as much as I just considered it acting like any other item you buy. When you purchase a new hair style, you must re-save your avatar in the customize me page for it to equip properly ^_^
I never got my activation email eek
There are many email providers (Mostly the free ones such as yahoo or hotmail) whom have stopped recieving all emails from GAIA Online due to the bulk that they sorta get sent out at. If you have not recieved your activation email within 7 days, please fill out a Feedback Form to the administration in regards to getting it activated manually.
I just donated and didn't get my letters scream
Er yeah... first I point you to the Donation FAQ sticky in the Q&A forum, where you will notice it states to wait 10 Business days. If you did not get your letters after 10 Business days, follow the instructions in that thread on reporting the letters lost.
Mass PMing to Friendslist
This is NOT A GLITCH. This feature was disabled quite a long time back due to too many people abusing the system by sending chainletters around even when there were announcements on not doing it and such.
The button to Send to Friendslist just hasn't been removed yet, thats all.

(More will be added in time)
A Suggestion Do not quote this post, thank you.
