Okay, staff, I am super freaking pissed about the update and here’s why.
I cannot read your new format.
I’m not trying to be whiny or nitpicky or over-dramatic. I can appreciate that you were attempting to make things look more organised/less confusing/whatever. I also expect the new format is a great improvement for people who have screen readers. That’s great. That’s fine.
I just cannot freaking read this. I have dyslexia, and my dyslexia is set off by pictures, bold, italics, anything that is more “interesting” to my brain than plain, unadorned text.
Like this monstrosity:
Look at it. Just look at it. The pictures get in between the lines of text, there’s distracting colors and pictures everywhere. The names are bolded when they’re really not the most important thing. Looking at this, I see everything except what I’m supposed to see, that cheesy series of puns. (No pun intended.)
You literally couldn’t have made a worse format for me if you’d tried.
The thing is, your format was what made me really like Tumblr in the first place. It was super clear who was writing something new, because look, there was a freaking line pointing right to it. Unless someone started writing in all caps or bold or whatever, all the text in a post had the same amount of emphasis. Finally, SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET I COULD READ.
And now, now I can’t read any of it at all.
So yeah, I’m pissed.
Like, I know that you’re not going to change it back, because you never seem to listen when anyone on your site complains about anything. I’m not sure why I bothered writing this to you guys, given your track record.
But now’s your chance to prove me wrong. Seriously, the least you could do is give us an option here. You’ve still got the old code. Just stick a button somewhere to revert to the old format so I can enjoy my text posts in peace.
Sincerely,
Dyslexic Blogger
SIGNAL BOOST because I really hope Tumblr pays attention to this. I’m sure Miraniel’s not the only Tumblr blogger/reader in this position.
choose the format you want, what a good idea! staff
Please make it optional! I can’t even tell when the picture starts and the comments begin, there have been multiple time I’ve had to scroll back up to try to find the beginning because I didn’t realize what I was looking at until I was half way down. Some people might like the update but there is just to much going on for me to concentrate
We’ve started rolling out a small, huge improvement to Tumblr.
The small part is that we’re rearranging reblog comments so that they’re actually readable. The huge part is that we’re rearranging reblog comments so that they’re actually readable.
This has been a long time coming, and you might be startled at how suddenly easy it is to understand what’s going on. That’s alright. Relax your eyes, let them adjust, and enjoy the readability of it all.
Should be out to everyone by tomorrow afternoon. Love ya, Tumblr.
