Missing e {browser extension for tumblr}

More in a new series on lesser-known Missing e features.

There are many features in Missing e that you either don’t notice because they are seamlessly applied to your Tumblr experience or maybe because they are not activated by default and you have to turn them on in the settings.

I’ll highlight three more these for you!

Slim Sidebar

If you’ve got a lot going on in your Tumblr sidebar (your tumblelog buttons, tracked tags, Missing e bookmarks), you might find it takes up a lot of room. To combat this, there’s an option in the Sidebar Tweaks feature in the Missing e settings that will slim down your Tumblr sidebar. It’ll take up less room, but still be readable.

Mass Deletion / Queue Shuffling

Both the Ask Tweaks and Dashboard Tweaks features have an option that allows mass deletion of posts or messages. These options are activated when you first install Missing e. The way they work is this: either click on “Select All” or individually select posts or messages in your Drafts, Queue or Inbox using the checkbox added at the top right of each one, then click “Delete Selected” to get rid of them in one fell swoop.

What isn’t enabled by default is the “Shuffle Queue” button. To use it, simply turn on the option under Dashboard Tweaks in the Missing e settings. Then, when you are in your queue, just click “Shuffle Queue” to randomize the order of queued posts! The “Shuffle Queue” button will only randomize the posts that are currently loaded into your queue page, so if you want to shuffle a larger set of queued posts, just use Tumblr’s endless scrolling dash to load more posts at the bottom before you shuffle!

Reblogging Asks

Now, it is an unfortunate limitation that we can’t reblog published ask posts. However, Missing e can bring this possibility slightly closer to reality. Simply activating the option under Better Reblogs in the Missing e settings will allow you to reblog ask posts as text. It isn’t perfect, showing reblogged asks like normal asks (with the speech bubble and all), but enabling you to reblog asks as text posts is a close second-best.
