Messaging Tweaks 1.3 Update

We extended Messaging Tweak’s functionality again and totally forgot to announce it!

Lots of people have been asking for it, so today we are giving you a bunch of notification options! Don’t miss your IM messages ever again!

You can now have a sound play every time your partner sends you a message, make the text in your tab change or even have Desktop Notifications if you’re not in the proper tab!

Additionally, we bring you emojis now! You can use every emoji from http://www.emoji-cheat-sheet.com/ (+an easter egg one, let’s see if you can find it!), so go wild!

And as always, if you got any trouble, you can always hit us up on our live support chat, or if you have a github account you can also visit our support gitter chat!

Server outage and XKit reset popup

Some of you may have seen a recent error saying that the XKit servers can’t be reached. If you see this error, please do not reset XKit. Nothing is wrong with it.

We’ve determined the actual issue to be page load failures on Github. While this is happening, please be aware that updating extensions and viewing the extension gallery might be broken.

Unfortunately we cannot give an ETA on when the services will be restored, but knowing Github’s reputation for being a solid service it should be fixed soon! In the meantime, please be patient.

If you have any burning questions, don’t hesitate to send questions to @new-xkit-support or @new-xkit-discussion. If live chatting is your thing, you can also visit our chat room.

reblog changes

Hey everyone. In case you haven’t seen yet, today Tumblr announced major changes to how reblogging will look and work.

This is obviously a very fundamental change, and although details are obviously very scarce right now, its almost guaranteed that Editable Reblogs in its current form will stop working. Most likely, Tumblr will have changed their code enough to make editing reblogs impossible to do.

And while we can’t say anything for certain before we see what the new code is going to look like, we’ll probably be able to make an extension that hides old reblogs in long chains on your dashboard, and it’s less likely but still possible that we’ll be able to make an extension that restores an old “look” to reblogs.

Unfortunately, unlike Editable Reblogs, neither of these (possible) extensions will be able to change anything for people viewing your blog that don’t have XKit installed. In the worst case scenario, that’s all we’ll be able to do. However we’ll definitely investigate every avenue possible in trying to help you curate your own blog content—something Tumblr seems to have forgotten in their push to “modernize” how reblogs work.
