what does it mean when you add a "testing wanted" on a problem over github?

“testing wanted” and its replacement “needs repro” are used to signify problems that we know happen, but that we haven’t actually seen ourselves. Most of the issues with editable reblogs have yet to happen on any developer’s computer. If a user comes to a “needs repro” issue saying that they have the issue then we can badger them for more information about their setup and what they did to encounter the problem.

Relatedly, if you are experiencing any of the issues that need reproduction, please let us know on Github.

Is there an x-kit extension to get rid of those 'ask ____ questions!!!!' boxes that pop up on the top of your dashboard?

There is now! Find it in Tweaks 3.2.9, under Dashboard Options.

are u guys planning to release a unfollower tracker?

We are not. Apparently there was an unfollower tracker extension a long time ago, and it led to Tumblr banning people who harassed people who unfollowed them. We really don’t want Tumblr angry at us for facillitating a repeat of that incident.

is there any way that xkit can be made for the android/LG phone/ other mobile devices?

If you have the newest Firefox for Android (39+), you can download the XKit extension and use it on the desktop site.

Other than that, we’re not currently working on a mobile port. We will eventually, but we’re still fixing everything that went wrong after the old XKit Guy left and repairing what Tumblr Staff breaks.

If a mobile port is really important to you, you can contribute over on our github, either by getting the current extension to show up on the mobile site, or by starting a proper app.

Is there a way you can update xkit without me having to go to extensions and clicking the developers mode and updating it that way? The old xkit used to update on its own.

Yes, XKit will automatically update given enough time on its own. The going to extensions workaround is only for people who want to make sure it updates as quickly as possible.

There was an update this morning (after I installed new x-kit yesterday) to the one-click postage extension and now when I hover over the reblog button it no longer pops up, nothing even happens. Any fix for this please??

We just pushed an update to v4.0.2. Do you still have the problem after updating?

When reblogging things, especially when reblogging from another tab (IE, middle click->open in new tab), and particularly when reblogging to a secondary blog, all text may be removed. Whether its a photo post or a text post or any kind of post, tumblr is removing all of it, and I can't tell if its the xkit extension allowing users to edit reblogged stuff glitching or just tumblr being broken!

We’ve noticed this sometimes happens if a post is reblogged while XKit is not finished loading. Try waiting until XKit is fully done loading and see if the same issue occurs. If it does, send us another ask.

got the new xkit update for chrome but it doens't seem to be workinh

If it isn’t showing up at all, this may be related to the recent Firefox panic and may be solveable using the same technique. If that doesn’t fix it, can you share any output that shows up if you open up the JavaScript console (View > Developer > JavaScript Console or Ctrl-Alt-J)?
