Sorry, Wil. Blocking Tumblr’s money-making is a sure-fire way to end up on a wonderfully horrible conference call with their staff and receive emails from their lawyer again.

I keep seeing this annoying bullshit on my dash, and I wonder why the hell I follow a Tumblr that posts annoying bullshit … and then I realize it’s the fucking sponsored posts that I hate. 

I’m really hoping missing e will let me block this shit, until I figure out how to get AdBlock to stop them. 

I don’t mind advertising, and I generally support advertising online because it’s how the bills get paid, but disrupting my otherwise enjoyable Tumblr browsing experience with truly obnoxious shit I don’t care about annoys me.

Hey Folks, I want to apologize for the time it has taken (and in advance for how long it might take) to get **Missing e** back up and running completely for Tumblr users. You may find yourself needing to [temporarily disable **Missing e**](http://missing-e.com/faq#disable) or [some of its features](http://missing-e.com/faq#settings) to use certain features of Tumblr. Please know that I'll be working on tweaking the new Tumblr interface soon!

Working on Missing e (reblog: "Poor, poor, successful guy.")

I’m busy at work. Things are definitely interesting and I like what I’m doing, but I’m burned out some when I get home a lot of the time.

It may seem like ages ago, but I pretty much just moved to a different country, to one of the biggest, most complex cities in the world. I want to see more of this place. Go skating at Rockefeller Center.

My new apartment isn’t 100% ready yet. The furniture is built and I’m mostly unpacked, but there’s still painting to do and stuff to buy and set up. I don’t even have Internet there until next week.

I am spending several evenings in the next couple weeks doing technical phone interviews for an IT Director position at a family member’s company.

I am going back to Toronto, where I will be meeting with my real estate lawyer and the ex-to-be to finalize the separation agreement and sign all the closing documents for selling the house. On that note, it is also my now-meaningless wedding anniversary in three weeks. I am processing this.

Tumblr’s new interface looks great in some ways and poor in others. I want to hunker down and get Missing e back up and running, but it is slow going.

I apologize that it is taking more time than you or I would like, but perhaps you’ll understand.

Post Control Icons Gone Wonky? Here's How to Fix It!

Looks like Tumblr has gotten around to making more of the post control buttons (delete, edit, etc) into icons! This means that **Missing e**'s feature which created these icons is now making the new ones look wrong. To fix this, go to the **Missing e** settings page ([here's how](http://missing-e.com/faq/settings)), click on the _Dashboard Features_ tab, and under the section called _Dashboard Tweaks_, un-check the box next to the line that says _"Replace text dashboard controls with icons (delete, edit, queue, publish)"_. In the next version, I'll be fixing this so that the **publish** button and others that still don't have icons will work when you turn that setting back on. I'm sorry for the delay for the new version, but moving to NYC, starting a new job and getting / furnishing an apartment is pretty time-consuming.

Reply Replies Problem

Thanks for the bug reports, folks. I will try getting to the issue with Reply Replies this weekend. I've been sick for the past week, so it might take me a little bit.

Yesterday's issue resolved and improving my response

It looks like yesterday's possible issue with the "Delete Selected" button was not actually a problem. I didn't mean to scare Missing e users when I posted the warning, but I am committed to keeping you informed and _only adding_ value to your Tumblr experience. I believed that, though unconfirmed at the time, the issue was important enough to inform users about **before** I had a chance to verify it. For future situations, I'm going to work on some tools on my end to make it easier for me to verify major issues more quickly. That way, I won't post unconfirmed scary stuff. Thanks so much for all the feedback you guys have given me on this!

I've made style changes to fix the sidebar buttons that seemed to have repeating icons **(including for the _Bookmarker_ feature, which I forgot in the last update)**. Again, thanks for bearing with me. It has been a smooth move to New York, but it is still a move to a completely new place. You can update **Missing e** here: http://missing-e.com/update

Fixes for Tumblr Changes Coming Soon

Many users have noticed some garbling of the look of some Missing e features. I will do my best to get a fix out for this today or tomorrow. Please excuse the delay as I just moved from Toronto to New York City yesterday afternoon!

Using Chrome Beta, Dev or Chromium? Give me some time!

Looks like there are some lingering issues with **Missing e** on non-stable versions of Chrome. Issues include **Missing e** control icons not showing on posts and the _Quick Reblog_ menu not always showing up. I will be looking into this problem today.

[missing-e]

[**Missing e** version 2.14.0 is _now available!_](http://missing-e.com/update) This one has been a long time coming, folks, and I apologize for the delay. Fixes _All Browsers_ * Prevent R shortcut key from opening new reblog page when _Quick Reblog_ is activated _Chrome_ * This version now supports the newest versions of Chrome, which should fix a number of broken features for people using the very latest Chrome browser. * Please note that old versions of Chrome (version 17 and below) will no longer run **Missing e**. You should update Chrome now. [Here's how!](http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95414) _Firefox_ * I've fixed the issue that caused users of Firefox 16 and higher to _not be able to answer questions_. * However, there seems to be a problem with the _+Upload photo_ button **Missing e** adds in some new post pages. I'm working on that. _Safari_ * Nothing broke! Yay!

New Feature: Sidebar Tracked Tags I've added an option to show your tracked tags on your dashboard sidebar! You can find this option under the _Sidebar Tweaks_ feature in the [**Missing e** settings page](http://missing-e.com/faq#settings), under the _Dashboard Features_ tab.

Update here: missing-e.com/update _If you have trouble, clear your browser cache_ after _you update **Missing e**._ **Firefox Users** _A recent change to the Firefox tools that are used to create this extension have caused **Missing e** to be **no longer be compatible with Firefox versions below 13**. I will look into this to see if I can restore backwards compatibility, but it is worthwhile to keep Firefox up-to-date anyway. You should be able to update Firefox from your browser's menu._

Updates coming this weekend!

Recently, I've been busy navigating the murky waters of NAFTA work permits for my move from Toronto to New York City. I apologize that it has been a long time coming, but I will be working on releasing new versions of Missing e this weekend to support the newest versions of Chrome and Firefox. Please stay tuned!

Delayed Bug Fixes and the Hunt for a Job

I just wanted to apologize for the time it is taking to address some of the unfixed bugs in Missing e. Over the past little while, I’ve been flying to and from New York City for interviews during my job hunt. It has left me a little frazzled. Today is likely my last interview, so I will be able to put some more focus on Missing e starting this evening. Again, I apologize and I will keep you updated on bug fixes and new versions on this blog.

Missing e - Still To Do Soon

There are still a couple things I will be working on in the next day or two. First, Tumblr has added a R keyboard shortcut to open the manual reblog page, and Alt+R keyboard shortcut to use their fast reblog feature. This is the reason why pressing R to **Quick Reblog** is also opening up the manual reblog page. I will fix this. Second, I'm going to try to get tracked tags (with counts) to show up in your sidebar, in addition to in the tag search box at the top of the page. _Stay Tuned!_

[missing-e]

I've just released **Missing e** version 2.13.8 for all browsers. This release fixes the following problems: * reblogging with tags from a post permalink page * show a drop-down list of blogs to reblog to when quick reblogging from tag search pages I am still working on bringing tracked tags back to the sidebar. Stay tuned! You can wait until **Missing e** updates automatically, or force immediate updating here: http://missing-e.com/update

Chrome Photo Reply - not a Missing e problem

Please note that although many Chrome users are observing that the Tumblr photo reply feature does not appear to work, this is not a Missing e problem. The same issue occurs with Missing e disabled or not installed. Hopefully, Tumblr is looking into the issue, which has, no doubt, been submitted by many users.

Upcoming work for Missing e....

Just to let you know, I will be travelling over the weekend. However, once I'm in one place for a little while, I'm going to be working on the following fixes and features for **Missing e**: * Display tracked tags in the sidebar, in addition to the new tag search box * Fix for the tag reblogging when clicking the reblog button * Fix a problem with _Quick Reblog_ not showing drop-down for secondary blogs on tag search results page
