Less Broken Than You Think

Good news: We managed to restore the tracked tag URLs to point to the /tagged/ pages again. Update to Tag Tracking+ version 1.6.0 to fix the sidebar links. Classic Search version 1.0.4 brings back the old search bar behavior. To update, you can either wait or manually force an update using the button in the extension’s settings page.

Bad news: We didn’t figure out a proper way of bringing back the numbers of new posts in a tag so far, it’s something we’ll look into though.

If you got any trouble, you can always come to our support chat or our gitter channel!

We’ve gotten a bunch of people reporting changes in Tumblr’s search bar and the way tags are tracked.

A few of the developers just got the update so we’re gonna look into it as soon as we can!

Disregard the last post about the survey, it was posted accidentally.

EDIT: to be clear, a survey was published prematurely and we’re not looking for responses just yet. We hope to release a survey soon, but this one had a few kinks that we want to work out first. Sorry about any confusion!

If you reblogged the old survey, it would be great if you could delete it, to avoid any confusion. Thank you!

We have a fix for the “Can’t Connect to Server” popup issue!

In order to completely disconnect from the now-expired Old XKit servers, we have released an update to the core XKit code, making this New XKit 7.7.1!

Chrome Users: You don’t have to do anything! The Chrome store should automatically update you to 7.7.1, although you can use these instructions to manually force your extensions to update.

Firefox Users: Due to our extension being unsigned by the Firefox store (we’re in the signing queue but haven’t been processed yet) you will have to manually update your extension rather than getting an automatic update. You can do this by visiting http://new-xkit-extension.tumblr.com/firefox and clicking the “Add to Firefox” button; the updated core code will install over the old core code, without changing any of your XKit extension data.

If you have XKit version 7.5.x or below: You have old XKit! Visit http://new-xkit-extension.tumblr.com/chrome or http://new-xkit-extension.tumblr.com/firefox to install New XKit instead (and be sure to uninstall the old version to prevent conflicts).

If you have any questions or encounter any issues, feel free to let us know in our support chat or bug list.

Some of you on loading Tumblr today may have received a popup that looks like this:

This popup is in fact lying. Some of Old XKit’s services finally expired and stopped running today, and while we operate our own codebase, there are some references to the old one in a few places that triggered a notification when they went down.

New XKit still works.  In fact, if you reload the page, the notification should no longer display and New XKit should still function normally.

If you are still using Old XKit, now is a great time to download New XKit! 

Firefox: http://new-xkit-extension.tumblr.com/firefox

Chrome: http://new-xkit-extension.tumblr.com/chrome

As always, feel free to let us know if you encounter issues by submitting to our bug list or using our support chat.
