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.
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!

As some of you have already noticed, as of last week, 2016-12-08, the NotificationBlock extension (version 1.3.3) for New XKit is currently not correctly blocking reblogs on the activity page. Tumblr has changed the structure of how reblog notifications are displayed on that page and we haven’t yet been able to implement a workaround for that change. However, we’re still working on a potential update and will hopefully have more information soon. Likes are still blocked correctly, and notifications on the Dashboard are also still being blocked correctly.
Thanks for your patience!

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!

Tumblr changed some things on the background, causing the Tag Viewer extension to load forever. This has now been fixed with version 0.4.2, which will install itself automatically, or you can force an update of your extensions through the “Other” tab in the XKit control panel.
v0.5.6: Perform a dark ritual to transform Soft Refreshed posts into real posts with real like buttons.
Blacklist
v2.9.0: Preserve links in Blacklist. Blacklist now reads the links in posts. For example, add goo.gl* to your filters to eradicate 90% of spam spam spam spam spam spammity spam! Many thanks to community contributor PalanteJon for their work in producing this update.
Hermes
v1.2.2: Fix performance issues and caption deletion. Hermes now unloads the images and media of each post once. It also does not delete each post’s caption. These provide 20% more speed per speed and 100% more caption per caption.
Profiler
v1.2.2: Fix parsing error in Profiler. Profiler now actually works instead of displaying an error. Knowledge is power, especially when that knowledge is about blogs.
One-Click Postage
v4.3.0: AlreadyReblogged now adds a checkmark to reblog icon. Like it says on the tin, adds a happy checkmark next to reblogged posts. Turns out that in some cases the green of a “reblogged” post was pretty hard to distinguish from the grey, especially for users with colorblindness. You’ve probably already seen this change already—there were a few pretty popularposts about it.
Go-To-Dash
v1.2.1: Fix Go To Dash ‘View’ button. The “View” button was only 1px high, so we fixed this shortage by stealing some buttons from the Coraline set.
Retags
v1.0.6: Add a new API key. For a few hours, Retags was completely broken and everyone was seeing 401 errors everywhere. Normally we’d say blame Tumblr, but to be honest we have no idea why the old API key stopped working.
