I decided to make a masterpost of all the must have resources for dealing with layoutgate 2k14 or whatever we’re calling it.
WHAT’S HAPPENING:
- heads up to all graphic/gif makers: the new dimensions don’t work either (via odnson)
- why you should continue to make gifs and graphics at the old dimensions (via me)
- tumblr support confirms: tumblr dashboard does not support files wider than 500px (via kyleharts)
- why tumblr is doing this (via maisiewilliams)
HOW TO FIX YOUR DASHBOARD/BLOG
- to fix your dashboard and make gifs and edits look not blurry or cropped on your dashboard install Stylish (chrome, firefox) and then this userstyle
- if you have xkit, the xkit guy is also reportedly working on fixing/reverting the dashboard, he just needs time.
- to fix your blog [no blurry, cropped, or chopped off gifs] use this script in your theme code (via jumpingpuddles) note: there are other bits of code floating around to fix your theme, but this is the only one i’ve found that fixes everything.
HOW TO PROTEST
- use the contact form on the tumblr help page (to get the contact form, type “contact” in the box and a Contact Support button will appear at the bottom)
- or email tumblr support at support@tumblr.com
