I strongly agree, I think it’s (in the long run) a great change.

I actually like the new reply system better than the old one because you can reply to the reply and have a conversation without clogging up everyone’s dashes.

Like I know you won’t get all the attention for your wittiness or whatever but you can still let that person know that you read their post and have thoughts, you can reply to reblogs, you can make sure that you see all the replies you get and they won’t get lost in your notes. 

But of course no one will give it a chance and just freaking get used to it like they have every other tumblr change. Remember when no one was anyway anyhow going to adjust to the new post format????

Your replies are on the way, Tumblr

Just wanted to let you know that we’re putting the finishing touches on replies, and making sure they play nicely with everything else on this platform.

“Why did they go away? Why, staff, whyyyy?” Fair question. We had a gaggle of overlapping message-like systems—namely, asks, fan mail, reblogging with commentary, question posts (rare!), and, yes, replies. When we finally introduced actual instant messaging a couple months ago, we had a lot of untangling to do.

In order to make all these systems work together, we had to do some back-end retooling, which meant taking down replies for a bit. For longer than we expected. Sorry about that.

And we get it—replies fill a very particular need (and you were very clear about expressing that need). They’re a kind of super like. A way to fully express your feelings about a thing without expecting anything in response. A gift.

When they come back, they’ll be even better. People will be able to reply to your posts multiple times, and you’ll even be able to reply to your own posts. Simple changes, yes, but ones that open up lots of possibilities.

Best of all, we’ve laid the down the engineering and design groundwork for even more substantial improvements down the road. Replies will be able to develop side-by-side with messaging.

More to come, soon enough. We know you all miss replies. We hope you enjoy their imminent return.

You may use as a base, so long as you change it so much that it almost isn’t recognizable as our own, and then you link it back to me so I can be the judge of that.

I think mentions should show up in the tags, too. If someone mentions me I have to keep scrolling through the activities - which doesn’t always work and not all mentions show up in the activity. Loading time is too long, too. It works on the app, why not in the browser, @staff
