Missing e {browser extension for tumblr}

Version 2.3.15: Missing e’s problematic update

Thanks to a mistake I made late Thursday night when I uploaded a new version of Missing e, some users had a problem with the Safe Dash feature becoming activated for photo posts, despite not having turned it on. Thanks to some quick messages from your fellow users, I was able to find and fix the mistake that same night. The next problem was a change to the Dashboard Tweaks feature that replaces buttons on dashboard posts (“reblog”, “edit”, etc) with icons. Basically, I modified the image that Missing e uses, changing the order of the icons. So, for a little while some users had their icons out of place.

Note that if these problems still happen for you, all you need to do is to update Missing e (instructions later in this post).

Now that the issues have been fixed for most users, I just wanted to let you know what the changes actually were!

It used to be that when new posts are loaded into your dashboard (especially with Tumblr’s “endless scrolling” dash), Missing e would have to run through every one of them to replace icons. This wasn’t extremely slow, but it wasn’t fast either.

As of the last few versions of Missing e, this process is done once when you first load the page, and left to the browser to do for new posts. This makes icon replacement a lot faster. Most users may not notice a difference, but people using slower computers or computers that are hard at work on lots of other things may notice a speedup!

In the future, if you are experience problems with Missing e or have any questions about it, please feel free to drop by the askbox to let me know!
