How to Find Submissions You Sent on Tumblr
So, you’ve sent an ask on Tumblr and now you’re sitting there wondering if there’s a magical portal that will show you all those elusive submissions. Well, my friend, I hate to break it to you, but once you hit that send button, you’re basically sealing your fate into the void. Tumblr doesn’t keep a record for you to dig through later. But fear not, help is at hand!
You might want to check out Xkit, a fantastic little extension for your browser that gives you the ability to see what you’ve sent. It’s like a time machine for your Tumblrs! 🎉 Just plug it in and let it work its magic. Pretty nifty, right?
Now, if you’re looking for someone to blame for a jab at your blog, you might be tempted to play detective. In the past, Tumblr used to play a slightly naughty game by embedding the IP address of anonymous askers in the HTML of the “block” button. But alas, no more! Tumblr has up-ed its security game by encrypting that info, so no snooping around with the inspect element trick.
However, there’s still hope! You can employ Google Analytics. If you’re getting weird and unwanted messages, track the visits to yourblog.tumblr.com/ask. If only one brave soul visits on the day of a suspicious question, you’ll have a wealth of information at your fingertips: their location, the operating system they used, and even their browser! It’s like being a detective but without the trench coat.
If you’re more of a StatCounter fan, this snazzy tool can also show you the visitors to your *ask* or *submit* pages, complete with IPs and locations. Suddenly, those anonymous messages aren’t so anonymous anymore, are they?
In conclusion, while it’s tough to find your previous submissions, you have some clever tools at your disposal to handle those pesky anonymous asks. Enjoy your detective work, and if you need further help or want to dive deeper into Tumblr’s mysteries, reach out to us. We’re here to help you navigate the whimsical chaos of Tumblr!
