book-a-holic: staff: Say hello to a smoother posting experience Now when you tap the compose button (that little pencil) in the app to create a new post, you’ll be brought to a fresh blank canvas. The post flower that used to pop up has been removed from the app, leaving you with the simple blank canvas to do whatever you wish. All of your familiar post options are still there, and now they’re easier to access. They just have a new home at the bottom of your screen, waiting to be tapped whenever you need them. What’s changing? Not much! The toolbar is the same ol’ thing you’ve come to know and love. You can still create and arrange (and rearrange) photosets, add audio and video, make or add your own GIFs and Loops from the camera or video button, or search for existing GIFs on Tumblr with the GIF button. The biggest improvement? Your recently saved photos, GIFs, and videos from your camera roll are now shown in the mini media picker right below post canvas. This makes it even easier to add that stuff to a post. Just tap ‘em to add ‘em. The space for a title didn’t go away—now it can be anywhere you want, and you can have as many titles as you want. Your whole post can be just titles if you wish. We don’t advise that at all, but it’s up to you. Just tap into the text you want to turn into the title, then tap the Aa text button to cycle through the text styles. You can also long-press the Aa button to bring up a neat little menu of those same text styles—but hey, you knew that already. Quick question: why? This makes posting on Tumblr a smoother experience. And, well, since mid-2018, the post flower actually hasn’t had much to do with how your posts are categorized in your archives or what forms of media you can add to your post. A post with a video in it will be categorized as a video in your archives, no matter what other type of media accompanies it. Posts with photos and no video will be categorized as photo posts. Posts with audio and no photo and video will be—you guessed it—sorted as an audio post. Removing the post flower is simply removing a barrier between you and your post canvas. Anything else? Nah, that’s it. Happy posting, folks! @staff quick and legitimate questions here: If the flower is gone why the floating button still has the tail with the other buttons of the flower? How do I post a chat? Why is the hasthags option in the next step when you post something but not when you reblog it? Really hope you guys answer this, I love seeing dev team trying to improve their product and being nice to users Oh, hello. We love quick and legitimate questions (though we will also accept slow and illegitimate questions, because beggars can’t be choosers). Here we go:It sounds like you’re referring to posting on web. For now, you’ll still see the post buttons there, but you can add photos, videos, and GIFs to any post type, and format your text as needed.There are lots of formatting options for your text, including chat. Tap/hold the Aa icon to see the full menu.Good catch! We didn’t move the tagging options for reblogs because we wanted to keep that action as quick and convenient as possible.Thanks for the questions and feedback! Always feel free to drop us a line, too. -- source link
