#new post editor

[wip]

Hello!

I want to switch to the new post editor but it seems that it does not remember my previous tags. The legacy post editor does save your tag and it makes organising your blog so much easier. Please, before only making the new post editor available for everyone on web, could you please fix that ? I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to use tumblr as I used to if I have to manually type every single tag for every post I make. Thank you very much.

Here's to illustrate :

Answer: Hello, @kimiokana!

Thanks for getting in touch here. We believe this to be a bug, and we are underway with some work and investigations.

Keep an eye on here, and over @changes, for updates as and when we have them for you!

Best,

—Caroline

R.I.P. LEGACY POST EDITOR

whoah whoah ok, I just fixed my blog theme to properly show both new editor, old editor, reblogged and original photoset posts properly. I used the fix by @glenthemes but unfortunately that only fixed reblogged posts for me. To fix original posts, I tried a very unorthodox trick, but it works so, here:

Search for {block:Text} in your theme.

Within {block:Text} and under {block:NotReblog}, add source-head class to the wrapper, just like in the case of reblogged posts. I know, "but there's no source in original posts", you'll say, except we won't put a source, simply trick the code to think that there is one, and then instead of adding a source icon and url, we'll—

Add an img-src of a thin transparent line before the caption body, that is between the > sign and {Body}. I uploaded one here if you wanna use mine, but you can always simply upload your own on an image hosting site (I used imgbb): https://i.ibb.co/Ry1HdN2/transparentline.png

Example code:

edit: I realized that not everyone might understand what I'm going on about here since all themes are different, but essentially what this fixes is the photoset margins. Basically, if your theme has a special layout for photosets, new-editor photosets will mold into that layout, instead of appearing as they would in text posts, hope that helps

I miss the legacy post editor so much. The new one is so difficult to use; the new icons are just ugly (?) and rearranging photos makes me want to scream out loud. I can’t put my finger on it but it just doesn’t feel user friendly? Or maybe I’m just getting old, dunno..

I also really need to rebuild my theme from the ground up with the new post format because everything looks terrible and I feel like throwing a tantrum because I don’t even know where to start. On top of it all I can’t edit my current theme because there’s something in the code that makes tumblr pop up an “woops :(” when I try to save. Why not tell me what’s wrong?

Is it obvious yet that I’m on day one of my period? 😭

Memorize.

It was a vicious cycle that you dared not to get out of. The computer screen at your desk has been on for days and feels hot to the touch from overuse. You could surely say that about yourself too.

Finals are coming up, quick, and not a minute can be wasted. Getting good grades have always been extremely important to you. Striving for the best and getting straight A’s every semester, you weren't going to change that pattern now.

Blinking hurts. You can already feel the damage your eyes are taking from endless hours of staring at a screen. If you looked in a mirror you’d probably mistake yourself for a raccoon with the dark shade of your eyebags. When was the last time you slept? What time is it? Having what you like to call study isolation makes the days blur together into one big blob. You look down to your phone.

4:55am.

Throwing your head back in your chair, you groan. “Oh god.”

But you always tell yourself, “Just study a bit more. Then you can take a break.”

That dream break never comes though. Like a tunnel that keeps growing, pushing the light farther and farther away. You can study for a little bit longer, right?

✧✧✧

Bucky walks into the shared kitchen at the compound for lunch. It’s Sunday, meaning it’s Wanda’s turn to cook. His stomach is grumbling at just the thought of it.

Bucky, Steve, and Sam had just gotten back from a week long mission in the knee deep snow mountains. All he needs is a good meal and his girl.

“Hey Wanda, where’s Y/N?”

She turns her attention from the stove. “I think she’s in her room. Haven’t seen her in a while so I’m not sure.”

Bucky furrows his brows in confusion. Y/N never goes a day without talking to Wanda, they’re inseparable.

Wanda sets Bucky’s plate on the table. The smell of Chicken Paprikash fills the kitchen. “Sit and eat first, we all know that mission was a pain.” She walks back to the stove. “F.R.I.D.A.Y. please call everyone into the kitchen.”

The A.I. takes a second to respond. “Mr. Stark has requested for the phrase ‘chow time’ to be used when calling for a meal.”

Wanda stops stirring the Parikash and puts a hand on her hip that is still holding the spoon. She sighs, “F.R.I.D.A.Y. would you call chow time, please.”

Bucky chuckles and sits down, draping his black jacket across the chair next to him to save you a seat. The A.I. responds, “Certainly Ms. Maximoff.”

The sudden sound of F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s voice through the audio system lurches your head off of your desk. Your cheek lights up with pain and you can already feel the pattern of the keyboard on your face. Did you fall asleep? The dried drool from your mouth to ear confirms your suspicions.

“What did you say F.R.I.D.A.Y.?” You rub your face trying to fully wake up.

“Ms. Maximoff has called chow time in the kitchen two hours ago. You did not respond and I am programmed to send you a reminder.” You turn to check the time. How long have you been asleep?

2:00pm

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. You had slept for so long, how could you let this happen?

A rumbling wave comes from your stomach. Wanda’s supposed to cook today and everyone in the compound knows for a fact that her food is the best. Your stomach says go to the kitchen. But you can study for a while more. I mean this is what you get for sleeping so long. The study hours need to be redeemed somehow.

You sit up straight in your chair and crack the stiff joints on your body.

✧✧✧

An empty seat next to Bucky during lunch and now dinner. It wasn’t unusual for you to miss a meal once in a while but Bucky returned from a mission today. On days like these you’re stuck to his hip, pecking him on the cheek, and squeezing the living life out of him. Something’s definitely up.

Bucky walks to your door with a plate of leftovers in his hand. He knocks. “Doll, are you in there? I brought you some food.”

You freeze. Was that?

What day is it? You know it’s Sunday but what’s the actual date?

“F.R.I.D.A.Y. what’s todays date?”

“Today is Sunday January 29th, 2023.”

January 29th.

Bucky is supposed to be back today. Bucky’s back!

You jump off your chair and race to the door to open it. Bucky’s wearing his gray sweatpants and a black jacket. Yup, he definitely got back today.

“Hi doll, you weren’t at lunch or dinner so I brought you foo-”

You knock the words out of his mouth with the sudden hug you give him. Your head digs into his chest. God how you missed this smell.

He chuckles, “I missed you too.”

Bucky starts to feel a warm patch on his chest followed by small sniffles. He places the plate on the floor and leads you to sit on your bed. Your head burrows itself further into his chest.

“Darling what’s wrong?”

He doesn’t get an answer. Instead receiving a tight hug around his waist while the sniffles grow louder. He grabs your shoulders pushing you back to look at you.

“Talk to me, I can’t help if I don’t know what’s wrong.”

You stare into his eyes. How could you forget he was coming back today. Any mission could be his last and your heart glowed when he returned. It was like a habit, every time Bucky came back you would be waiting outside the quintet with the biggest hugs and kisses he could ever receive. That was until other priorities overtook your mind.

“I’m sorry.” The words mumble they're way out your mouth. Afraid if you spoke louder you’d break into sobs.

“What are you sorry for Y/N? You haven’t done anything wrong.”

Of course he would say that. No matter what you do he always looks over your flaws as if they didn’t exist. His hand runs up and down your back helping you control the sudden breaths breaking through your body. Taking a couple seconds to control your breathing, you look up.

“I forgot you were coming today I was supposed to be on the landing bay waiting for you I was just-”

“Breathe Y/N.”

He looks around the dark room and finds that the only thing lighting it is the computer screen. Balled up pieces of paper circle around your chair and scribbled flashcards litter your desk.

“What’s going on doll? Tell me please, I don’t like seeing you in distress.”

Tears touch your lips and the salty taste fills your mouth. “I’m sorry-”

“Stop apologizing.”

“My finals are coming up and my studies have been taking up my mind. I was so focused that everything slipped my mind.”

Bucky sighed and pulled you onto his lap as you nuzzled into his chest. “Oh honey.”

Your sniffles die down and Bucky takes a comfortable breath in. “How about…” He tickles your stomach causing streams of laughter and giggles to make their way out. “...We put some food in here, snuggle in bed, and watch a movie, yeah?”

You sure could use a break, and how could you say no to what he has to offer. You close your eyes studying the rhythm of his heartbeat. “Yeah, that sounds nice.” Your arms wrap around his torso. “Thank you, Buck.”

“For what?”

You sit up in his lap, “For always being there for me even when I don’t do the same.”

He looks down and secures your head in the palm of his hands. “Don’t you dare say that. You’re there for me in more ways than you know. Just knowing that you’ll be here when I return is the only thing that keeps me on my game during missions. I gotta get back to my best girl.”

You smile, “I love you Bucky.”

“I love you more Y/N.”

A smirk splays across your face. “That's not possible.”

“Try me.”

there are no words to describe how much I hate the new post editor they are forcing on us

[ohmyoh]

Who had the awful idea of get rid of this? This new one sucks, and it sucks bad. The new one is a hot mess.

The new one causes this:

Here how the posts used to look with the old post editor:

What the point of having the option of posting pictures as a “picture post” when everything will be seen the same way as text post?

Just let me use the old version!

They are really trying to kill the desktop version.

I really dislike the new post editor! Can anybody help or know what I'm doing wrong? I keep uploading my edits under 'photo' add my images then add a description and save the post I will add the tags via xkit because tagging via the new post editor is horrible and just time wasting imho. Then the 'photo' post publishes into a 'text' post instead?!! Like wth? I don't want my edits to look crap on my theme by making them into text posts, I want them to be photo posts! Am I doing something wrong? I post under 'photo' and it publishes as a 'text' post instead. Any help or a work around this shitty post editor? I'm seriously thinking about not posting anymore because of this. My last two edits look so horrible in themes because it is a text post instead of a photo post...

#tumblr #new post editor #is crap and i seriously hate it #help? please?

[faintlyof]

wow, i really really hate the new post editor

when i make an image post, that bar thing that says drag you photo or url here just stay open up there after you’ve already added photos??? and i have the option to close it? so i get to manually close it every single time just so i can see how my post is going to look??

and when adding tags, you can’t just click anywhere in the tag field, you have to click the teeny tiny little plus sign? boo, major downgrade

also its HELLA ugly and clunky looking. like look at all these big dumbass grey bubbles taking up WAY too much screen real estate??? wtf

like i cant even see the post buttons with just a single not large image (its 303px tall) in it???

same tags for reference:

clean, easy to understand its not part of the post, not freaking ugly?

like yeah, the font size could be a smidge bigger, but the grey bubbles?? *barf emoji* its ugly and intrusive and i can’t even customize it to be like baby pink or something? smh

also, again, the stupid teeny tiny plus sign??? versus being able to click literally anywhere in the tag area??? i aint got time to be lining up my mouse to hit that stupidly small target every time i decide i want to add tags to a post???

like if its supposed to be more accessible on mobile...1) tapping anywhere in the tags section would be infinitely easier on mobile also i think? but maybe people were accidentally hitting the tags section like while scrolling so they made it harder to hit on purpose? but if thats the case, 2) theres a tumblr app?? i dont think the browser version needs to have all the, uhhh, “upgrades” the app should be getting? but then again, i guess the app must still be broken so instead of fixing/adjusting it to be mobile friendly they’ll juse make everything mobile friendly? and less pc friendly? like damn i would hate hate hate hate hate to be using tumblr on anything bigger than my small laptop screen.

and last also, why is the dumb new post editor only on every post type except text? not that i want it here too, but like???

OH WAIT no this is the last also!

the new editor doesn’t give the option for blockquotes? blockquotes are literally one of my favorite formatting tools (blockquote + italics, it gets me every time)

OH WAIT NO i thought of another, in the new editor, the formatting popup is no longer (roughly) centered over the mouse??? like that was so convenient??? much less distance to travel than the new one which pops up starting on the mouses’ right side??? you wanna add a link, go all the fucking way over there! D<

ugh i hate unnecessary design choices. like im sure theyre beneficial to some people and im happy for you. but this site has just gotten 15% worse for me to use and it was already a bit of a struggle. :/

it's very annoying that you can't select and delete text in the new post editor- any chance this could be fixed?

Answer: Hey, @b-a-n-d-e-r!

This is an odd one, as you should be able to do this. On that basis, we would ask you to submit a bug report to us with the following:

A list of installed browser extensions.

Browser and operating system information.

A detailed description of the issue, with screenshots or—even better—a screen recording. We want to know: What type of text were you selecting (for example, did it have formatting, was it multiple paragraphs)? And how did you select it (e.g. mouse, select all)?

We would also like to take this as an opportunity to remind you good folk to please contact Support about bug issues like this in the future.

Best,

—Caroline and Cyle

Text posts are, ironically, the only post type that still have the legacy editor option... I hate it here sometimes.

Trimming Posts with XKit Rewritten

The "Trim" feature in Xkit re-written is fantastic, much better than the Editable Reblogs feature in New XKit has worked for the past three years. but it requires all parties in a given thread to be using the new post editor. If even one person is not, the post is considered a legacy post, and thus not compatible with this feature in the extension.

I'm going to use a roleplay example to demonstrate how it works, since that is where I see trimming post being most useful. No Image Descriptions here, since all important information is in the body of the text, but I've included alt text with extra details if you're interested.

So let's say you see a reply from your friend on your dash, and you want to reply back.

First, you need to hit that reblog button. Once you're in the editing mode, select the "Save as Draft" option from the reblog dropdown.

If you want, you can start working on your reply before you even save, but you don't have to. Either way works.

Once you have your draft saved, go to your draft's folder.

At the bottom of the post, there should be a scissors icon between the trashcan and the pencil. Select it.

It will ask you if you want to trim this post, letting you know that all but the last trail item will be removed. But if you're a roleplayer, that's what you want anyway! So go ahead and click "Trim!"

Now that your post is successfully trimmed, you can go ahead and hit post, or click the pencil to edit it more, just as you normally would.

And speaking of editing posts...

Since you're using the new post editor anyway, why not give your icons some alt text? Usually just a brief few words is all you need, something speaking to who it is and what they're doing. That way, people can hover over the image when they see it on their dash and click the "Alt" button that appears to see what the alt text says in the form of a visual image description!

Of course, this also means that screen reader users will be given the info about the image immediately when they navigate to it, which is always nice.

I hate the ‘new post editor’ so much that I’m gonna go back to my old low performing video posts and replace them with newer uploads and that way they still loop since non-’legacy editor’ videos won’t loop when you look on a tumblr page directly 😡
