Your place to read about what new things we've been launching and what bugs we've been fixing.
Posts

Friday, May 19th, 2023

🌟 New

  • We’re experimenting with showing some reblog trail items in shortened posts. We overlooked this in our last post so thanks to those who asked about it!
  • Some folks will start receiving push notifications when a poll they voted in has ended. This is another experiment we’re running.

🛠 Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where the Community Label overlay text would appear outside of the post on the blog network. The overlay now displays over the full blog and can be dismissed.
  • On web, the little blurb encouraging you to add tags now goes away when you start typing.
  • In the Firefox browser, you’ll now get an error message if you try to log in with the incorrect email or password (previously it just failed silently).
  • We changed some colors in the login/sign up pop up on web in the Cybernetic and Pumpkin palettes so the text is more readable.
  • On web, we fixed more keyboard shortcut issues. We also updated the hotkey guide accordingly (you can find that in the account dropdown menu). And lastly, keyboard shortcuts are also no longer case-sensitive.
  • Related to that last point, that work temporarily made it impossible to type a question mark. That was caught and fixed fairly quickly.
  • On web, we made some improvements to how the selected node of the reblog graph is displayed so it’s easier to see which one you’ve clicked.

🚧 Ongoing

  • We are aware of an issue where a user who reblogs your post may not receive notifications when you like their reblog. We’re investigating this now.

🌱 Upcoming

  • Nothing to share today.

#tumblr update

Tuesday, May 16th, 2023

🌟 New

  • On web, we’re experimenting with an activity redesign which highlights mutuals, people you follow, and unread items! Please see this announcement for more details.
  • On web, it’s now possible to access the Mass Post Editor directly from the Account menu. Just click the snowman icon and expand a blog to reveal the link.
  • In the post form on web, we’ve removed various keyboard shortcuts related to inserting new blocks, or transforming text blocks into different text subtypes. Many of these shortcuts conflicted with OS-level and browser-level shortcuts, and were all redundant in the face of the post form’s block inserter menu, which you can access by typing a forward slash (/) in an empty text block. Continue typing after the slash to search for the block you want, for example /image.

🛠 Fixed

  • Fixed an issue on web where it was possible to accidentally reblog or queue a post when reloading the tab or quitting the browser, respectively.
  • On web, it’s no longer possible to trigger any keyboard shortcuts repeatedly by holding the key(s) down.

🚧 Ongoing

  • Similar to the fix mentioned above, we’re now aware of more hotkeys triggering undesired actions, like reblog or queue, accidentally. We’re working on a solution, so please stay tuned for updates.
  • If you purchased badges, but have not received them, please contact support.

🌱 Upcoming

  • Nothing for today.

#tumblr update

Friday, May 12th, 2023

🌟 New

  • We’ve added some new blog badges for purchase in TumblrMart: “Goncharov Enthusiast”, “Commissions Open”, and “Coppy”. Go check ’em out! Today, you can only have one of these badge types visible on your blog in a stack, but stay tuned for updates on this.
  • The notes count on posts has gotten a little design refresh to make it clearer that it’s tappable/clickable.
  • We’ve added a new search index for URLs used in posts, so you can search for a specific URL on Tumblr and look through posts which link to that URL.
  • Our public API docs have been updated with info on how to mute push notifications and activity about a post, more to come in the actual Tumblr interface for this!

🛠 Fixed

  • Fixed an issue with the post form on web where the 140-character limit on tags was being treated as exclusive, only allowing tags up to 139 characters. The full 140 characters are now allowed, as intended.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause a thumbnail with mature content to appear in blog activity when someone used a GIF of yours in a post containing mature content. The thumbnail is now hidden.
  • When using the API to get the list of notes on a post, the blog’s “avatar_url” object is now included, like for other similar API endpoints.
  • We fixed a bug on web that was sometimes preventing the quick reblog/queue action for just the first post on your Following feed.

🚧 Ongoing

  • We’re aware that the Android app still has some issues entering 140-character tags, we’re working to fix that as well. Currently, you need to press “done” to enter a 140-character tag.

🌱 Upcoming

  • We’re working to update the Theme Garden to highlight themes that are “NPF Compatible”, meaning they’re set up to make posts from all of our editors look how they’re meant to look. You can read more about what we mean by this here.

#tumblr update

Tuesday, May 9th, 2023

🌟 New

  • For those of you using Tumblr as a standalone web app via Chrome, we’re now badging the standalone app’s icon with unread posts, like we already do in the page title.

🛠 Fixed

  • Fixed an issue that caused anonymous asks to be hidden from the inbox for a brief time yesterday. No anonymous asks were lost, they were just temporarily hidden.
  • Fixed a bug on web that was causing hotkey usage to spam that action if the key was held down, like holding R to reblog. Using hotkeys will only do that action once, and not again, until releasing the key and pressing it again.
  • Fixed a bug that was showing asks sent from suspended/deactivated blogs in some peoples’ inboxes.
  • Fixed the spacing around the “Tipper” labels on notes on the web to be consistent with other similar labels in the notes view.
  • Fixed a bug that was causing reblogs in the notes view to be sorted incorrectly after changing the sort order on the replies tab.

🚧 Ongoing

  • Nothing to report here today.

#tumblr update

Friday, May 5th, 2023

🌟 New

  • We’ve updated the per-post “Mute notifications” feature in the mobile apps to also stop new activity items from being created, instead of only preventing future push notifications. You can read more about how to use this here for iOS and here for Android. More on this feature in the “Upcoming” section below!
  • We’ve updated the Reblog Graphs feature on web to once again show more information when clicking on a node in the graph, such as how far away it is from the original post, and who the poster was for that node. More improvements to come here! You can turn on Reblog Graphs on the web and see it in the notes view as a new tab.

🛠 Fixed

  • On web, we’ve rolled out a big fix for our keyboard shortcuts, which should finally enable them to work properly for non-English keyboards.
  • We’ve fixed another bug that had been causing posts’ eligibility to be blazed by others to be incorrect, depending on what post editor was used to create the post.
  • We now no longer send both an ask email and a gift notification email when you receive something from Tumblrmart as a gift. You’ll only receive a gift notification email.
  • We no longer send “Blaze complete, congratulations!” emails when a Blazed post is manually extinguished before it was originally set to finish.
  • The fast queue keyboard shortcut (holding “w”) now works properly when viewing posts in a masonry layout, like on the Explore, Search, and Tagged pages.
  • Fixed a bug in the tag editor in the new post editor on web that was causing it to jump around unexpectedly after selecting tags from the suggestions dropdown.
  • Copying and pasting an HTML blockquote into the new post editor on web treats it as an “indented” text block now.
  • The audio search in the post editor on web provides results more consistently now.

🚧 Ongoing

  • Nothing to report here today.

🚧 Upcoming

  • We’re working to add the ability to “mute” posts on the web, which will prevent future push notifications and activity items from being created about that post, until the post is unmuted. After that’s out, we’re also extending the mute functionality on all platforms to allow temporary mutes of notifications about a post.

#tumblr update

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023

🌟 New

  • On web, you can now switch between Blue and Rainbow Important Internet Checkmarks, and purchase them separately, in your Blog's settings. Could this be the sign of something more to come? 🤔

🛠 Fixed

  • Fixed a bug that was preventing new activity items from being created when someone was interacting with a reblog that you reblogged from yourself.

🛠 Fixed

  • Users that you’ve blocked will no longer appear in Tumblr Live carousels.
  • Ask/answer posts can no longer be blazed at all. (We’re thinking through how best to ask for consent from the asker and answerer, so this may return.)
  • Fixed a bug that was resetting a post’s blaze eligibility depending on where it was being edited. Thanks to everyone who sent us info about this issue, it helped us track down the problem faster!
  • Fixed the issue that could cause the new post editor on web to not be able to redo your actions after undoing them with Control + Z.
  • When using Tumblr in a browser on your phone, going “back” from within a direct messaging conversation will now bring you back to the right place, if you got to that conversation from places like activity or your dashboard.
  • There was an issue with Spotify podcast embeds for a brief period this week, but they’ve fixed the issue.

🚧 Ongoing

  • The war against spam bots continues. We’re working to clean up recent waves of spam bots, and again prevent them from recurring. As usual, please report any blogs as spam that you find, and we’ll take care of the rest.
  • We’re working on separating everyone’s existing checkmarks into separate blue and rainbow products, and opening up the ability for everyone to manage which one is being displayed next to their blog name. There have been some bumps with this transition, but we’re working them out as quickly as possible!
  • Version 29.1.1 of the Tumblr Android app has a fix for the issue of the app switching to the “For you” tab when interacting with posts that have a “Read more”.

#tumblr update

Friday, April 21st, 2023

🌟 New

  • The ability to Blaze other people’s posts is out to everyone.
  • In the iOS app, everyone will now be able to scroll to see related content in the lightbox when tapping an image in a post.
  • We removed the “New” labels next to Blaze, Tumblr Live, and TumblrMart in the dropdown menu on web because these things aren’t really new anymore.

  • On web, we fixed an issue in the trending topics carousel where clicking the left arrow to scroll back would scroll you all the way back to the very first item. Now it matches the behavior of the right arrow, scrolling one column at a time.
  • We fixed a crash that could sometimes occur when creating a post in Firefox.
  • On web, we fixed an issue where the wrong option would be highlighted when hovering over an option in the text formatting menu in the post editor.

🚧 Ongoing

  • The aforementioned issue in the Android app which could cause the wrong image to be loaded into the lightbox when tapping on an image in a post is mostly fixed, but there are still a few areas where it can occur. We’re working to solve the root cause in an upcoming app version.

🌱 Upcoming

  • Nothing to mention here today.

#tumblr update

Tuesday, April 18th, 2023

🌟 New

  • We’re working on allowing everyone to Blaze each others’ posts! Please note that there’s now a setting to disable this for your blog, if you don’t want any of your posts blazed. There will also be a per-post Blaze toggle. And just in case people miss this post or that Staff post, there will be a banner shown to all users across all platforms informing them of this new feature, so they can turn it off if they don’t want their posts being blazed. Also, if you have been Blazed, you’ll have the ability to cancel it before approval (or rejection) by human moderators, or extinguish it after approval.

#tumblr update

Tuesday, April 4th, 2023

🌟 New

  • Over the weekend, Brick Whartley came back to try out adding the ability to add reactions to posts on the web. It’s gone now, though.
  • We’re now showing images in posts more often when viewing blog archives. If the first 3 blocks in the post contain some text and an image, we will overlay the text over an image instead of just displaying the text in a white box.
  • Blazed posts on web now have a little “blazed” icon next to the blog name in the post’s header.
  • We’ve rolled out a couple of improvements to the “Recent” tab of search results, relaxing a number of filters we had in place.

🌟 New

  • Reblogs you missed from blogs you follow will now be included in the “What you missed” dashboard tab and push notifications.

  • GIF search now properly respects your Community Label settings.

  • When using the “Your tags” dashboard tab on web, filtering the feed no longer breaks the browser’s back button history.
  • The counts for activity and messages were being thrown off screen when viewing the navigation drawer when using Tumblr in a browser on your phone. We’ve put them back inside the nav drawer where they should be, next to those navigation items.
  • Tumblr posts embedded on other sites now have a canonical URL set in their meta tags, which should prevent Google and other search indexes from double-indexing them, or indexing them incorrectly.

🚧 Ongoing

  • We’re aware that the “some images look really tiny” bug is still happening in the Tumblr for Android app, we’re currently working on a fix for this and hope to get it out in the next version of the app.

🌱 Upcoming

  • The leadership team at Tumblr has told us we’re obligated to mention that Brick Whartley is apparently back from his “vacation” and he has an idea of some kind. Something to do with 4️⃣? That’s all we’ve been told so far, stay tuned.

  • We fixed an issue that caused all new replies on posts to be hidden. They’re now visible.

Tuesday, March 28th, 2023

🌟 New

  • Following a request here, we’ve added the standard avatar field in the blog objects in NPF trail items. This is useful for folks who want to use NPF JSON in their blog themes.
  • Some folks are now a part of an experiment that removes the emoji from the dashboard tab labels.

🛠 Fixed

  • We added the missing close button in the lightbox view when using Tumblr in a browser on a phone.
  • The new post editor on web was counting HTML tags when calculating the size of a quote. We fixed that, so quote font size now more accurately reflects the amount of characters in your quote.
  • While using Tumblr in a browser on a phone, tapping “Share” in the celebration pop-up after publishing a post would cause the share sheet to appear under the pop-up, making it impossible to interact with. We’ve fixed that.

🚧 Ongoing

  • We’ve fixed the aforementioned scrolling issue in the Tumblr iOS app. The app update is currently under review and should be available soon.
  • A change on our end caused everyone’s checkmarks to switch back to blue instead of rainbow. We’re working to fix this up.

  • Fixed a bug on web which could cause the checkmark display setting to disappear when disabled.
  • When traveling to a specific dashboard tab on the web, that tab will now be centered in the tab bar, instead of being potentially hidden in the scrollable list of tabs.

🚧 Ongoing

  • We’re aware of an issue in the latest version of the Tumblr iOS app that can cause the Following feed to jump to the next set of posts once it loads as you scroll, instead of scrolling smoothly. We’re working to fix this as quickly as possible.

🌱 Upcoming

  • We’re working on adding crop and rotate controls to the image editor in the mobile apps!
