HOW TO TRIM YOUR POSTS USING THE BETA TEXT EDITOR!!
NOTE: i didn't entirely think it through when i deleted the blog i created this tutorial on ( aka @oftagetes ) and felt the need to go ahead and repost it on an rp tutorial hub. and, on a side note, please please please reblog this strictly using the beta text editor for simplicity's sake in case anything ever happens to this blog for whatever given reason.
so as many of you know, a lot of us in the rpc on here are struggling to actually do what we want on here ( which is roleplay ) due to the recent events of the staff forcing us to use the beta text editor. now while the beta text editor does have some rather nifty features ( such as adding color to our text now ), there isn't a way to outright cut our posts making it nothing short of tedious and annoying. that's why i've made this tutorial. so without further ado i'm gonna throw everything under a read more.
STEP 1: XKIT REWRITTEN
the first thing you have to do is install xkit rewritten. here is the link for firefox and here is the link for chrome. if you use opera then you'll need to download chrome extensions. after doing so then you can proceed to the link for the chrome extension! now if you're like me and you use incognito mode then please, please, please give it permission to access everything via incognito mode.
but shin! what if i use the new xkit?! will i have to uninstall it?! nope! not at all! i actually use both of them and they 100% coincide with one another! because there are features that one has that the other doesn't.
STEP 2: ADD-ONS
now i'm going to assume that y'all know how to deal with tweaking the settings for your add-ons ( especially if you're in the rpc ) so i'm not going to bother with that. otherwise, feel free to im me and i'll help you out with it since i know how to do it in all three of the major browsers.
open up xkit rewritten in your browser. it should look something like this. i'm using chrome but it'll look exactly the same regardless of what browser you use. you'll see that it has a wide variety of various add-ons for you to choose from. and thankfully ( thankfully! ) they're all in alphabetical order so that's a bonus! so scroll down until you see trim reblogs. it'll look like this.
now turn it on. no exceptions. and you know what? go ahead and get the rest of the add-ons you want / need while you're at it since you already have it up. it'll save you time in the long run so whatever.
STEP 3: REBLOGGING / TRIMMING / ETC.
this is where the "fun" part comes into play. as stated here about TRIM REBLOGS, you will only see the trim icon IF THE POST HAS TWO OR MORE REBLOGS PRIOR TO YOU REBLOGGING IT. what this means is that if it has nothing but likes or comments and has one reblog or less then you won't see the icon show up at all. with that being said, here is an example down below:
now whatever you do DON'T CLICK ON THE TRIM ICON ( aka the scissors ) YET! instead you will hit the reblog button, type out your response, and throw it into your drafts. once you've done that, go to your drafts and it should look similar to this:
now that you've gotten your response all typed out and you see where the buttons are placed, hit the TRIM REBLOGS ( aka the scissors ) button and it'll look something like this:
as you can see, the first two responses are now long gone and the two newest responses are the only ones that you'll see. once finished you can now 100% post it onto the dash and you're good to go!
HOW TO TRIM YOUR POSTS USING THE BETA TEXT EDITOR!!
as many of you know, a lot of us in the rpc on here are struggling to actually do what we want on here ( which is roleplay ) due to the recent events of the staff forcing us to use the beta text editor. now while the beta text editor does have some rather nifty features (such as adding color to our text now), there isnāt a way to outright cut our posts making it nothing short of tedious and annoying. thatās why iām making this post right now.
this is also important because even if yāall donāt plan on using beta now, tumblr staff has stated they do eventually plan on getting rid of legacy, and completely replacing it with beta. so, itās best to keep this on hand for when that does happen.
