ohmycristianoronaldo asked: How do you make tabs on Tumblr?
therydge asked: Hi, I would like to ask if it is possible to "queue" posts which I post via email? Basically what I want is to queue up post regardless of how I do it (email, phone, web etc.). And then let the queue feature control that there will be just a single post per day.
That would be really useful as I will post pictures via picasa and I will send them by email from within picasa.

I don’t know if this feature is already available using some code or script, but I didn’t found it. I’d love to have a Related Post Wordpress-style feature, based on tags.
mp3 and album art
i would like to be able to add an mp3 file and after loading an mp3 file i would like to be able to add an image for that mp3. you know… like on myspace? please make it easier on us.
Correct transformation of Umlauts and other...
German Umlauts and other diacritics are completely ignored on tumblr, although there are pretty simple rules to follow. Every letter in German with two dots above it, like ä, ö or ü is transformed into the letter with an e afterwards, like ae, oe or ue.
Since tumblr takes a multilingual approach to serving its users, this would be a nice thing.
Allow audio to play directly on Facebook
When I post a video and have it auto update to Facebook the video is able to play directly from the Facebook feed without the user having to click over to my Tumblr page. How about allowing audio posts to do the same? I constantly get complaints from my Facebook friends about the way the Tumblr link navigates them away from Facebook. With the demise of Lala, Tumblr could be the only service...
Abolish the poxy 500x700 picture size limit
Use overflow:scroll to cope with unusually wide or tall posts, instead. (I moved my margins to handle up to 700 pixels wide, but these images won’t show up in dashboard view and would obscure other people’s sidebars if reblogged.)

spicyberliner asked: Dear kindred internet stranger, I had a similar frustration to one I noticed had been posted on this tumblr a couple of times, so I made a userscript to fix it. if you think people will find it useful please reblog/share the link. http://grrowl.tumblr.com/post/691086471

Upload Album Art with MP3
I think it would be nice to be able to upload the album art of an MP3 seperately because a lot of MP3 files, especially the ones I upload, don’t have the album art embedded in the file. this would be great especially considering the tumblr themes are getting more in depth and many now have the album art included in the post at your url. It depresses me to see blank album art on my blog and...
Reblogging your own content might be nice. Sometimes you could post something that seems relevant to more than one blog (if you have a multi-blog account), and it would be nice if Tumblr would go ahead and let you reblog easily without the use of bookmarklets.
adding several slideshow images via several...
Would be awesome since there are so many posts to publish with more than one image
several images one below the other.
more than one image not as slideshow but as several images one below the other would be awesome, since even on your dashboard you can’t consider the slideshow post since there are even no significant thumbnails. Anyway I don’t like slideshows at all.

OOps
There were a bunch of messages that people had sent that Tumblr had not told me about.
Also, I accidentally deleted someone’s question instead of answering it.
If that was you, please re-ask!
Preview Posts From Bookmarklet
I would like to be able to preview a post I have created from the Tumblr bookmarklet. I like to be able to check the formatting since I have customized my theme heavily.
Enable Questons After Posting
I’d like to be able to edit a published post to enable questions.
I sometimes will rush through a post only to realize after publishing that I forgot to enable questions. Tumblr currently does not allow one to enable questions for a published post.
Import Own Reviews & Quotes from Goodreads
I often use tumblr for posting quotes from books and also use goodreads for same reasons. It would be nice if tumblr can automatically import own reviews and quotes from goodreads. goodreads supports API accesses.
Tumblr Follow List
I like to be able to organize Tumblogs I follow in lists. There are blogs that are purely for reblogging, and their are blogs that are sensible to read regularly. It just frustrates me that the reblogs hide all the original posts that are made.
chokladkakan asked: Perhaps this already exists, and I've just never been recommended, but would it not be nice if one would get a message saying that you have been recommended by a person in a category for this new Tumblr Tuesday-thing?
Upload Photo button on "Link"
Could you please make the same “+ Upload Photo” button that appears above the “Post” box for “Text” entries available for “Link” entries.
Right now I create the post in “Text” before copying the HTML manually over to a “Link” post. A pain!
attrition
the way that twitter reworked its retweet function? we need to do the same on tumblr. that way the original poster gets immediate credit and doesn’t have to be put at the long list of rebloggers for people to see him/her. it could just mean that the original poster’s name shows up in the the reblog forever, which is cool. we need to let people know where the good content...
Tumblr & Twitter integration
A few Twitter-related requests:
Posts imported from Twitter (and other text posts) no longer automatically link Twitter usernames. For example, Tumblr used to automatically change @taestell to @taestell. They removed this functionality without warning. When they did so, it affected not only new posts but existing posts as well. Why did they do this? Perhaps they are trying to distance...

Tumblr Feature Request: Set content attributes to...
For defining customization options, the content attribute of <meta> elements should be filled in with the custom values picked by the user, when the template is rendered. I see that they’re left as they are in the original, unrendered template, such as: <meta name=”text:Flickr Username” content=”“/> It could be tremendously useful if the Tumblr compiler...
Unread posts option
On the main tumblr page, we need an “Unread items” button. Often, i’ll look at my main page, go through like 100 posts, then come back later, and i see like 10 new posts, but then the 100 I just looked at. If there was an unread items option, i could skip to the “101+” posts that i missed before.
This would make Tumblr 1000% better.
Mark certain post features as REQUIRED
When I make a post, I want to set the custom URL.
I also want to edit the twitter message that gets automatically posted.
Other people might always want to include tags, etc.
Unfortunately, all those options are over in the right sidebar and hard to see/remember. I often forget and have to go back later to edit the post and fix my errors.
Add some options for client-side validation. In the...
Open all links from dashboard in a new tab
As I understand it, some links from my dashboard will open in a new tab or window and some will load in the same tab or window, it just depends on how the blog’s owner has set links to open. Inevitably, when I’m scrolling through my never-ending dashboard, I click on something that opens in the current tab, forcing me to reload and scroll through a bunch of posts when I return from...

Mobile Edition needs a lot of work
Tumblr automatically makes a “Mobile Friendly” version of your website at http://{You}.tumblr.com/mobile.
Which is nice.
Sort of.
It’s good for reading someone’s site on a mobile/small screen device. But it lacks almost any kind of functionality, including the ability to find the “permalink” to any particular post.
I’m going to tag posts about the...

Remove the artificial limitations
Why can I only ask two questions per day?
Why are we limited to two audio posts a day?
Why are phoned-in audio posts required to be so short?
Why can’t I mark something as a question even without ending the Title or last line with a question mark?
Why are answers limited to 140 characters?
Why can’t we reblog answers to questions?
Each of these limitations should be...
Dashboard RSS feed, subsets
I want an RSS feed of the Dashboard and the ability to view a subset of the people I follow. The Dashboard is the only real way to keep track of the people I follow, other than tediously assembling a Yahoo! Pipe containing each weblog, and its “one size fits all” mentality is very limiting.

"Do Not Reblog" Option
I know I and a lot of other people would feel a lot safer here if we were able to flag a post not to be reblogged.
You see people request this a lot. Occasionally it’s fun to be able to share something sensitive with a small group of followers you can trust. Unfortunately, it’s clear that you can’t really trust all of your followers to respect your wishes not to reblog certain...
Change the Type of Existing Post
I’d like to change the type of an existing post. For instance, I quoted someone in a text post before I realized it would look better as a quote post. But I’d rather not delete and recreate the post because that would affect its date, RSS feeds, etc.
I can already modify the content of an existing post. Why not the type too?

Clicking a link with Endless Scrolling enabled may...
Endless Scrolling is a cool feature UNTIL you accidentally click a link which takes you to a different page, and lose your spot. (Because even if you hit “Back” in your browser, it will refetch the Dashboard.)
Two solutions:
1) Intercept all links and prompt me “Do you want to navigate away from the dashboard?”
2) Automatically set all links to open in a new tab.

No queue management in iPhone Tumblr app
The queue in regular Tumblr will let you “move to top” but there is no way to do that in the Tumblr app.
OTOH editing items in the queue doesn’t put them at the bottom of the queue.
Deleting
I want to be able to choose a group of posts to delete simultaneously rather than doing it one by one.

Preference: "Queue everything I post"
I love the queue. It’s one of my favorite features.
The only problem? I’m kind of dumb and often forget to use it.
Plus, if I post something via email, there’s no way to queue it.
Idea: allow me to set a per-blog preference which says: “Any time I post anything, don’t post it immediately, add it to the queue.”
New posts would default to “Add to...

iPhone pictures aren't rotated properly
Ok Tumblr, this is really Apple’s fault for using the bloody EXIF tag to indicate rotation when (as far as I can tell) no one else in the known universe is using it, but…
…given that the iPhone is pretty popular and shows no signs of stopping, and given that Apple is entirely unlikely to change their use of this EXIF tag that no one else uses…
…and given that iPhone users like to email...
Please unhide Tumblr Short URLs
Tumblr is one of the Top 5 URL Shorteners on Twitter but have you ever tried to find the short URL to one of your posts?
You used to be able to see this in the sidebar IFF you had enabled Twitter integration. Then one day it vanished completely.
I wish that Tumblr would include the short URL in the sidebar as before AND make it easy for theme designers to use so it could be included in the...
If Markdown is chosen in defaults, use it for all...
Markdown is supported for posting to Tumblr via email but you have to remember to include !m somewhere in the message.
If I have already chosen to use Markdown in my preferences, why doesn’t Tumblr automatically apply that choice to email posts?
Come to think of it, why doesn’t Tumblr default to Markdown for email posts? Do they really think that anyone who puts in line breaks...
