#saved tags broken

[cinematicnomad]

for context, prior to summer 2023 tumblr would save tags that i used (frequently or not) which made it easy for me to re-use them in other posts (ie. edit tags, character tags, tw tags, ship tags, etc). i found them to be a fundamental aspect of tumblr, to the point that people would often make games of it by providing a random list of words and challenging people to share the first saved tag that came up when they typed that word. you could not actively choose to save a tag, rather, tumblr would automatically save it once it was used.

(you can see an example of how this used to work in this post)

as of summer 2023, saved tags as a function no longer works for me. no matter how often i use a tag, it will not save and is not suggested to me when i go to re-type it in future posts. the suggested tags that now show up for me are generic popular tags across the site. personally, it does negatively impact my use of the site.

i have been exchanging emails with staff since august 2023 about this issue and am hoping to collect data regarding other users experience, if saved tags are broken or functional for them, and how integral to your use of tumblr is this feature.

i also encourage you to send me an ask if you have any other added context you want to share when i reach back out to tumblr staff. please feel free to reblog this poll so it can reach a wider audience.

thanks in advance!

*note: if you have mutiple blogs and saved tags are broken on one but working on another, please select the "saved tags are broken" option that best reflects your feelings (as i am trying to gauge how widespread this issue is)

for reference, this was my last interaction with @staff on may 15th. i replied with a PDF copy of our entire email exchange which has been ongoing since last august asking for them to provide a proper update, but they ignored me and have yet to reply. so.

Hey does anyone else find it horrible that starting to type "I need to..." In tags makes a million horrible tags about losing weight show up or is it just me

The wine bottle and symbolism

this is personally my take on the symbolism of the wine bottle/bottle opener as based on a post by galaxitic

The wine as a symbol for obsession for a loss of control. For how Vincent feels about his fixation with Rody. Of even in a way a symbol for Rody himself.

The wine opener being Vince's semblance of control over that obsession. That he believes he has control on his feelings about Rody. But when he goes to open that bottle its not in a semblance of control but that of panic, that of impulse but he still tells himself that it's something, not realizing that with a sip of the wine he's consumed back. His rational is consumed. Just like how this whole time Rody has made him drunk with impulse.

How the wine is admittedly what does him in.

Vince breaks the bottle, breaks 'Rody' through a lack of control. He uses the bottle opener to try and open the real thing, drunk and searching for more, willing to truly give into his impulses and be intoxicated.

Vince has for the most part up until this point been bottling up his feelings, playing the part of mild mannered and in control (though his control isn't perfect. The rat, the watching through the peep hole-)

Rody taking that broken bottle in hand, takes said obsession and kills Vincent with it. Because a broken bottle is going to hurt you. Because Rody is so broken right now, shattered, reeling from the revelation that Manon has been killed. The love bleeding from his body and a hot demand for revenge coming to him that results in the burning of Vince.

I keep reading the abbreviation for The Cat King as a very aggressive "TCH" noise because I can't tell Ks from Hs apparently and it's been cracking me up more than it ought to.

Have you ever gotten a paragraph of writing stuck in your brain that you just HAD to draw it out? Even though you have 5 assessments next week? Yeah.

CW Blood warning!

This is from @shittygaypornmagazine’s fanfiction ‘The Steps To Becoming The Oldest Twin’ the latest work from an author that makes me cry at 1am, and if I’m sobbing in the middle of the night so do you! So go read it!!

A little peace offering in hopes that you don’t traumatise the rise cast too much, please? Can’t they just be happy?

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but a few things I've noticed regarding the broken saved tags: 1) I have *some* of my saved tags, but probably less than half at most. the ones I do have are all pretty common, but not all of my common tags are there. 2) if the person I'm reblogging from didn't have any tags, then as soon as I click into the tag area before I start typing, I'm suggested my 10 most used tags, *even though they're not saved/suggested at any other time*. hope that helps!

thanks so much! yeah, i'm realizing as my poll has gotten reblogged that i probably should have defined my terms a little better. i've seen people bring up prev tags, as in, when they go to reblog a post and the previous person's tags are suggested to them, and then i've also seen people make mention of the top 10 tags that you brought up. these tags will only appear in that drop down and will not be suggested to click on even if you start typing them.

when i refer to saved tags in my poll, i am explicitly talking about the ones i think you're referring to in your first point. these are the tags where as soon as you start typing, tags will be suggested to you based on what you're typing in. like, if i wanted to tag my post with my generic 'kat liveblogs her life' tag, i could start typing k-a- and tumblr would auto suggest the saved tag. even though i've been using that tag for over a decade, it's just no longer populating for me.

i don't have any of those anymore. some of them hung around for a while, but the more time passed, the more that went away until we reached this point where, even though i've continued to use those tags, they are no longer saved or recommended to me.

it's fun seeing other people's interactions and uses and understandings of saved tags! and i appreciate all the people who've reached out to share their thoughts 🥰 more information is always better

Aliens were something Henry had never believed him—so when he suddenly encounters the rabbit-alien, now having the knowledge that they do exist?

He... honestly doesn’t care very much. Henry doesn’t find himself very affected by this news. His daughter and son react way more about it.

Henry’s reaction to finding Springtrap is to just go “Oh... intriguing.” and then convince the alien-rabbit to come with him.

Many people think the b in bussy stands for boy, but it actually stands for bot. The more you know! (Cough. someone should request that. Cough)

It will take me a bit to post them cause I need to find the YouTube timestamps as well.

Absolutely obsessed with the level of manipulation that goes into RAM Alastor.

“This is the best option.”

Not only did he do right by Vox, but he’s still doing right by Vox.

“I will take care of you.”

He’s the only one who can properly care for him in his current state. No one else knows how.

“You can’t trust anyone.”

And God forbid if someone tries to open him up and undo all the work he did. Not only would they be “wasting progress” but they would hurt him! How dare they!

“You’re mine now.”

And he protects what’s his.
