We've decided to update XKit. It's harder than it looks. We're not in contact with the original XKit Guy, nor do we have access to xkit.info. We currently operate at this blog and on GitHub.
Hello, XKit users! A number of you have reported recent issues in Editable Reblogs and One-Click Postage preventing you from using those extensions in Firefox. We have just released a fix for these errors, so if you update your XKit extensions (Other tab in the XKit control panel, click “Update All My Extensions”), the issue should be resolved.
Thanks for your patience and to everyone who reported the issue! As always, feel free to send us an ask or leave a message in our support chat if you need any assistance!
Thanks for your patience, everyone! We’ve just released Editable Reblogs 3.3.7; updating to the most recent version of the extension should restore the ability to post without freezing your browser and will prevent the double posting issue some people were encountering earlier in the day.
As usual, feel free to let us know if you have any comments or questions by stopping by our support chat room (if it seems quiet, leave a message and we’ll see it later), sending a message to @new-xkit-support, or opening an issue in our Github issue tracker.
Hey, all! A bug has just cropped up in the way Editable Reblogs interacts with Tumblr code, causing the page to freeze when you attempt to reblog with the extension enabled. We’re working on a fix right now, but disabling Editable Reblogs should allow you to post normally in the meantime.
Thanks for your understanding and patience. Feel free to stop by our support chat with any questions or issues!
Hey everyone! We accidentally pushed an update to Editable Reblogs this afternoon (2017-1-11) to fix a long-standing bug with video embeds. Unfortunately, it had a severe bug that had the potential to break the extension when a post has an image in it.
This bug has been fixed in ER version 3.3.3. If you’re encountering this issue, where you can’t save or reblog a post with an image in it, you can upgrade Editable Reblogs from the XKit Preferences page:
We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone! As always, thank you for your patience! Feel free to let us know if you have any comments or questions by stopping by our support chat room (if it seems quiet, leave a message and we’ll see it later), sending a message to @new-xkit-support, or opening an issue in our Github issue tracker.
Today we released a small update to Editable Reblogs in an attempt to control its effect on the dashboard; we’ve noticed in seeing people use the extension that though it has a significant use case, there are also plenty of situations in which it might not be needed, and in those cases (with the new update) it is damaging the appearance of the post for no reason.
Thus, we have added a trigger on the post window that allows users to opt into the Editable Reblogs Effect (i.e. converting the post to blockquotes) on a post-by-post basis rather than wholesale whenever the extension is enabled:
It’s our hope that this will reduce the amount of unnecessary corruption to the default Tumblr blog structure and make it easier to avoid any broken posts on the dash.
Obviously, we hope that this doesn’t have to be a long term solution, and that we can work out a better way to get back to non-intrusively editing posts without corrupting the reblog structure, but we hope that this strikes a good compromise in the meantime.
As always, feel free to let us know if you have any comments, questions, or encounter any bugs. There’s usually someone available in our support chat room (if not, we’re probably sleeping or carousing wildly so leave a message and we’ll see it later); you can also send a message to @new-xkit-support or open an issue in our Github issue tracker.
Many of you have noticed that Editable Reblogs has been having significant difficulties lately as a result of changes to Tumblr’s server-side code. Unfortunately, these changes have rendered ER’s current method of “imitating” Tumblr’s reblog structure impossible.
We have updated Editable Reblogs to 3.2.0 to restore functionality to some degree. However, as a result of these changes, ER at the moment can no longer exactly replicate the reblog structure on the dash; posts made using this update will render all posts in the reblog chain as a single blockquoted post instead of a series of them.
The XKit team is still actively working to find a way to make Editable Reblogs produce fully formatted posts; however, this interim measure should remove the issue of post content disappearing. The extension can, of course, be disabled at any time through the XKit preferences panel.
Thank you for your patience while we performed this update. As always, if you’re having any problems with New XKit, you can always stop by our support chat room and chat with the developers! There is generally someone there a lot of the time, but you might need to wait for a bit or come back later if no one responds. Other ways you can get in contact with the New Xkit team include sending an ask or submission to @new-xkit-support or by opening an issue on our Github issue tracker.
Hello, everyone! We’re currently aware of an issue affecting users of Editable Reblogs (as of 2016-09-20) which is preventing the extension from working correctly, due to a change in how Tumblr handles submitted posts. We’re looking into possible resolutions for the situation and will post a further update when we have more information. Right now we recommend you disable Editable Reblogs until we can get the situation under control, otherwise Tumblr might accidentally corrupt your post.
As always, our inbox and chat room are open for those with support issues. Thanks!
This should be fixed now! This problem was fixed in Editable Reblogs version 3.1.1 as of Tuesday, 09/20. This might be a problem on-and-off for the next few days as we adjust to new Tumblr changes—we’ll keep you all up to date if ER breaks again.
If you’re not on 3.1.1 yet, you can go to XKit > Other > “Update all of my extensions” to get the new version!
Hey everyone! We just released a few fixes for Editable Reblogs (version 3.1.0), that allow us to more intelligently and gracefully handle some common error conditions. This includes fixing or detecting some of the more debilitating issues, and a new mechanism to help users report less common problems for us to track down. We’ve also programmed in a way for the extension to gracefully fall back on the native functionality in the event of an issue, which should help out a lot.
Rest assured that this is just the beginning of a much more substantial clean-up to make Editable Reblogs less finicky and more reliable. There are still some outstanding issues, including problems with more then one consecutive deactivated url in the same post, but luckily we can now detect and alert you to those issues ahead of time.
As always, our inbox and chat room are open. Happy blogging!
Today we are releasing Editable Reblogs 3.0.4. This update to the ER extension contains a number of major fixes, including:
Restoring the dropdown post button (including post scheduling and private posting)
Fixing a bug which was causing the wrong date to be attached to edited posts.
We’d also like to apologize again for any confusion around the interface changes in the previous version of ER. Our solution for editable reblogs at this point basically bypasses Tumblr’s interface completely and adds our own in order to solve some major bugs we were encountering; the three-button interface was always meant to be temporary in order to get those bug fixes out the door fast, but we underestimated how much of an impact that would have on many people’s Tumblr use, so we’re glad to be able to restore the dropdown to you!
(Some of you told us you liked the three buttons, and we’ve heard you too! If there’s enough support they might come back as a tweak. :) )
In the same vein, this has also been a catalyst for us to start thinking about a better approach to beta testing big extensions like this before releasing them to everyone, so keep an eye out for that hopefully coming soon.
Thanks to everyone for their patience and bug reports; as always, you can continue to get in touch with us by sending an ask to @new-xkit-support or @new-xkit-discussion or visiting our live support chat. If no one responds in the live chat, it means the developers are currently busy/away/sleeping! Just wait a bit and someone will get back to you!
You may have noticed that the dropdown save button was replaced with three separate, clunky buttons. Initially when we wrote our fixes to Editable Reblogs, we needed to override Tumblr’s code with our own. But when reusing Tumblr’s save button proved difficult, we decided to remove the button entirely and add our own three buttons.
For the time being, if you need to access post scheduling and private posting, you can temporarily disable Editable Reblogs.
We’re not happy with this solution either. Rest assured, we’ll be taking a second look at making this work with the original dropdown button.
Side note: the XER-SR error should be fixed with Editable Reblogs 3.0.1.
If you’re seeing problems not mentioned here, or have other thoughts about ER, feel free as always to stop into our support chat room or drop us an ask.
