Tumblr added stickers to messaging, sent as single images in your chats. Use the smily-face sticker icon on the Web Dashboard to select a sticker image.

PSA regarding the “see all” Tumblr tag update

Tags that fall behind the cut do not seem to be blocked by either Tumblr Savior or XKit’s blacklist function (granted, I only tested the latter briefly). Please use caution if you either tag for or utilize blacklists on your dash.

How to make sure your pictures don’t stretch

So, let’s say you’re posting a 400px width photo. Tumblr is annoying, and will stretch it to 540px, making it look way ugly. Or, you’re posting a photo and you don’t really fancy having the images stick to the sides of the post. Here’s how to fix that!

You can also include the CSS:

img{ width: 400px; }

That will do the same job, without having to mess with the HTML.

Sorry to add again… !! Don’t do that!!!

The images of reblogged posts will stick out because of the blockquote.

Instead, try:

img { max-width:100%; height:auto; }

This will adjust the image according to how much space there is!

i made a script for tumblr activity page

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/23138-tumblr-peepr-fix

it prevents posts from opening in new tab, and opens them in peepr (right-side-in-dash-blog-thingy) so you don’t have to leave your dash. you need to click description words such as “liked/reblogged your photo/post” etc to trigger that.

also, it removes annoying popovers from blog names (but leaves them on blog avatars, just in case).

you need Greasemonkey (for Firefox) or Tampermonkey (for Chrome-like browsers) for it to work. also read description on Greasy Fork.

i will post a visual presentation for it a bit later. i just finished and tested the script, so you can use it!

WARNING: Don’t “download” Firefox from Tumblr!!

My Tumblr tab has been getting hijacked in the last few days, taking me to a FAKE Firefox download page. Please, if you get this, CLOSE THE TAB and do not download anything! It’s NOT FIREFOX, it’s going to be something really bad. Unfortunately, it’s more than likely an ad-based issue and Tumblr will have to find out who is doing it and block them. Until then, protect yourself!

Tumblr Playing with Dashboard Tag Styles for Some Tumblr is experimenting with different styles for tags on the Web Dashboard. Most of my primary accounts show the original tag style (plain gray text). But two accounts show two different styles: a bold gray style and a dark bold gray style. Of the three, the dark bold tag style is my least favorite because the strong font can draw emphasis away from the post’s text/caption.

hey guys! i just wanted to share a neat thing i know how to do! i know that a lot of rpers like to change their tags for stuff, for aesthetic reasons or just because their old tagging system is no-go for them. well, i know a pretty good, simple way to do that, without having to go through posts one by one!

you’re going to need a tumblr script called Mass Post Features, which you can add using either greasemonkey or tampermonkey…

Tumblr Sidebar v1.5

Pushed a small bugfix update to my sidebar script yesterday! Fixes a couple styling bugs on the Transparent and Dark versions, and should (hopefully) fix a bug where Chrome users are getting horizontal scrollbars in the sidebar in some situations.

Features over Xkit Plugin: - Small footprint (doesn’t require the whole Xkit framework if you don’t use it otherwise) - Proper layering (OneClickPostage and the recommended likes show on top of the sidebar instead of getting obscured underneath it) - Three flavors to choose from which should seamlessly blend with a wide variety of Stylish themes/styles for Tumblr

Tumblr Fix: Is tumblr messing with your theme’s HTML?

I’ve noticed a lot of this recently on mine and some other close friends accounts, that tumblr is messing with the HTML. Meaning coding is disappearing, banners and sidebar images are gone.  Thankfully I have a fix for you! So if you are experiencing this here is a quick step by step guide (with pictures) to prevent it. No additional scripts are necessary, and when I say this is an easy fix, I really do mean easy!

So without further ado, below the cut is the tutorial.

No next page button/arrow on dashboard -how to fix!

Here’s my fix that gets you up to the next page (confirmed it was the same date, and used the now usable back arrow to check it was in fact the next page) Here’s what you do: 1) go to the last post on your dash page that has no arrows, and open it in a new tab in the person you follows blog (you can do this by simply clicking on their username on the top of the post) 2) Get the post’s identifier NUMBER from the URL bar (eg this post ‘http://orangedelusions.tumblr.com/post/116899768856’ number is the '116899768856’ ) 3) Now say you were up to page 9000 on your dash and that’s when the arrow dissapeared, now put in you URL bar 'https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/[DASH PAGE NUMBER YOU WERE ON]/[POST IDENTIFIER NUMBER]’ (which in this case would be 'https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/9000/116899768856’) And hey! should take you to the next page (it also has a functional back arrow you can use to check) HERE IS A PICTURE GUIDE

…And there you have it! This should take you to the next page of your dash, with functional ‘previous’ and ‘next’ buttons

Theme Troubles? Here’s A Fix

So I have gotten a few messages regarding my themes not working properly on some blogs, mainly newer blogs, and I have discovered this myself as well on a few of my new side blogs when I would try to use one of my themes and weird stuff would start happening such as:

Infinite scroll not working

Weird gaps between posts when not all posts are the same size.

Widgets and extra plug-ins such as music players not showing up.

For the longest time I thought this was something within my themes, but as it turns out, it’s actually caused by a new Tumblr feature that is automatically implemented into newer blogs as they are created. 

If you are having ANY issue with infinite scroll, weird post spacing, or any of your add-ons not working in my themes, or any other theme makers themes, the following fix should resolve a lot of your problems. 

Resolving The Issue [Changing Your Blog Settings]:

Select the blog you are having issues with, and go into your blog settings from the dash. 

Find the Encryption setting, and switch off ‘always serve blog over SSL’.

Check your blog, everything should be working properly now. :) Remember to check your blog out of customize theme mode.

Basically, the issue with your theme may just be the fact that your blog is showing in HTTPS mode with the SSL setting, which blocks many of the necessary resources that make certain parts of your theme, and your added widgets work.

I hope you found this post to be helpful to you, and if you need any help, feel free to let me know and I’ll help you to the best of my ability.

Credit to the lovely ladies at @htmlqueens for finding this fix before I did!

I just updated my tumblr extension! Have fun with it. Some features are the ‘pinterest-like’ look of the posts, as you can see in the screenshot

Just visit the link and install: Tumblr - Tiled Dashboard from the Chrome-App-Store if you use Chrome for browsing.

A new options panel has been installed (see the icon in the top menu - the second from the right side), which means, the width of the posts, the width between the columns and a post-border can be defined now.

Let me know, if you like it :)

Fix the bullshit blue tag update

1. Get Stylish if you don’t have it already (chrome | firefox)

2. From the toolbar button, go to “manage styles” and click “write new style”

3. Paste the following code in the box:

Firefox:

@-moz-document domain(“www.tumblr.com”) {

 .post_full .post_tags .post_tag.post_tag_color_4 {    color: #8f8f8f  }

}

Chrome:

.post_full .post_tags .post_tag.post_tag_color_4 {    color: #8f8f8f  }

4. Give it a name, save, and enjoy tumblr without staff’s latest fuckup!

Note: when you hover over the tag, it turns blue. I haven’t figured out how to keep it gray, and seeing as the tag changing color when i hover doesn’t bother me that much, i probably won’t try to, sorry

My friend and I got together and wrote a Firefox Add-on that lets you reblog from the source directly from your dashboard! This is great for crediting artists without keeping any extra comments people have added, or reblogging the money cat without all the extra stories.

This is currently for Firefox only, but be sure to like and share if you’re interested in seeing it for Chrome!

Install it here! (Scroll down for the link and installation instructions.)

This does not need XKit to run!

Right now, the only downside is that it opens a new page/tab to do this. Otherwise, it would reload your whole dashboard and nobody wants that. 

If you use it, want to use it, or think it’s a good idea, please share this post so others can see it! I can’t be the only one who was waiting for this feature.

Thanks!
