This blog is dead unless tumblr fixes this email bs. It’s only a matter of time til tumblr logs me out on mobile too. So follow there if you want. Otherwise good luck, hope you don’t lose your blog like I did! Thanks for following my crap for as long as this lasted.
As most of you already know, on May 13th Tumblr has decided to lock us all out of the site and make us change our passwords for safety reasons, without as much as letting us know about the overhaul in advance.
Now while for most this was no more of an issue than the minute lost on changing the password, many of us have stayed locked out. The problem here is that these blogs are tied to defunct e-mail addresses we no longer have access to, therefore changing the password is out of the question and so is logging in for, as it seems right now, ever.
Addressing the issue I have written to tumblr spport and got this reply:
How considerate, we are now supposed to throw away years of work on our blogs (MAIN BLOG AND ALL SIDEBLOGS), thousands of posts, original content, url and its reputation and of course ALL OF OUR FOLLOWERS, simply because Tumblr @staff failed to notify us on the matter.
However, there is still a possible solution.
As we can still use the Tumblr app, this hideous failure could be fixed by updating the Tumblr app with the option to change the e-mail address on mobile.
I shared this idea with Tumblr support as well but I was met with the answer that, i cite, ‘’the changes aren’t up to our department’’.
PLEASE REBLOG THIS WITH TAGS LIKE #STAFF AND #TUMBLR STAFF TO SPREAD THE WORD AND REACH THE MAKERS.
You fucked up big this time fellas, are you seriously letting it slide?
We are being ignored. I am beyond livid. Years of work. YEARS.
Yep. Apparently they are just saying fuck you and expecting us to get over it. Lovely. Like starting over when you’ve had the same one for years is an easy thing to do.
So tumblr staff basically won’t help me get into my account because of the old email crap but I’m still logged in on mobile. Basically I can’t login on my laptop because it wants me to change my pw with an old email address that I can no longer get into. So that’s great. Basically I might have to start a new blog after having this one for like 6 years. Lovely. Thanks. I don’t know what to do at this point.
