XInbox / Part II

In addition to answering asks, there is also a problem with reblogging asks. Again, it’s Tumblr.

Now you might be asking yourself why you can answer posts while XKit is disabled, but can’t when it’s not, so it does look like an XKit bug, but here’s the reason:

  • The standard Inbox uses Tumblr’s /publish_ask method, while XInbox/XKit overwrites that and uses /svc/update, since the /publish_ask method does not let you specify tags.
  • /svc/update is used to edit and reblog posts, including asks. There is a problem related to /svc/update and asks combined, which causes XKit to fail.

To test this, disable XKit completely and try adding tags to an already published ask or reblogging one. You’ll get a red “Something went wrong” box. So, again, this is a Tumblr bug, and there is absolutely nothing I can do to fix this.

Again, I’m sick, and going on vacation in a few days so I can’t answer asks, and this will be my last post for a while. Also, for those who did it / planning to do it, I would appreciate if you would stop yelling / cursing at me in my inbox, thank you. =3
