Freshly Caught

staff:

lloyda2:

It is not helpful in designing a theme that Tumblr throws in inline style attributes in its preview.

Thanks for catching that!  That was left over from an ancient bug.  We just pulled out the style attribute, so it shouldn’t be a problem now.

I might as well use this as an opportunity to list a few more issues lingering in Tumblr:

  1. The iframe which appears in the top right of each Tumblr user’s blog employs deprecated attributes and is responsible for four markup validation errors. No biggie: this one is a minor annoyance.
  2. Permalink pagination is broken, and has been for at least the past few months—possibly since the feature was first introduced. Going backwards in time works just fine, but there’s something wrong with the {NextPost} url which causes every single instance of the {NextPost} tag on every single permalink page to link to a (seemingly random) recent post submitted. See for yourself: Go here and press newer. Then do the same for this post. See?
  3. I feel like this one was intentional, but when I perform an indent from tumblr’s nice wysiwyg text editor, the resultant blockquote has a bunch of nasty style crud attached to it, eg: 
    <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">

    I think this is unnecessary: the stylesheet of the user’s theme should be able to handle a blockquote appropriately.

Much thanks for listening to your users and for being continually diligent.
