‘Missing e’ and errors reading the Tumblr API Missing e makes calls to the Tumblr web-based API to get information for the Timestamps, Reblog Yourself and Magnifier features. During times when Tumblr is very busy or error-prone, Tumblr’s API may not work correctly. These features will retry a few times (default: 4) when there is a failure before giving up. Once they do, you will see errors like the ones in the picture above: Timestamp loading failed. Retry shows up for Timestamps failures. Click on the word “Retry” to try again for Magnifier failures. Click on the icon to try again or reblog for Reblog Yourself failures. Click on the icon or the text to try again This and other common questions are in the Missing e FAQ.

Q:The timestamps doesn't seem to be working, gives me message "Timestamp loading failed. Retry". Also, the Magnifier icon appears with a red exclamation point over it and doesn't work, hovering the mouse over it says "An error occurred. Click to reload Magnifier". I'm using Firefox v4.0

This is a common error when Tumblr’s API is not performing properly. Usually, this is due to heavy loading of their servers.

Please read my post (click here) about how Missing e uses the Tumblr API and what happens when the API isn’t working.

This information is also in the Missing e FAQ page.
