sometimes if you *make* a post (or save a draft) on desktop you can't edit it on mobile

if you make a post on mobile, you should be able to edit it on mobile though

Tumblr mobile took away my edit post ability and that's so fucked. I use my phone for everything lol my kids don't let me sit still for long for laptop use on a regular basis. Lmao GIVE IT BACK or someone tell me where it went if it's still here and I'm just dumb. Like even on my drafts in mobile. Like damn

#learned this the hard way from an ao3feed blog #the posting was automated so i guess it read it as desktop and i could not edit the posts #then it became even odder bc i could edit *sometimes* but other times i'd get sn error message #i realized it was probably that any post that had a like or reblog before i got to it to edit would become un-editable #if everything is in mobile though it theoretically should be fine and in that case idk #but if you're trying to edit like an ask from before the default posting format switched or #something that's been in drafts or an older post - those might be counting as 'desktop published'#also check if you're in the browser and not the app and are maybe not signed in in the browser #bc tumblr is weird with links and for example some of your masterpost links only go to the browser version of a post #like they will take you out of the app to a browser page to see the post and have a 'log in to see more' at the bottom #tumblr .... sighhhhhh #(one time i was on my own blog and i was getting frustrated i couldn't edit a typo on my post)#(turns out i was was looking at it on the 'visitor' url rather than navigating to 'posts' from the dashboard.tumblr url)
