Tumblr’s “Safe Mode”

scriptmedic:

Hey all. Tumblr, the lovely place we all call home, has decided to change the way it displays content to users, particularly minors and particularly on Mobile. 

The ScriptFam are aware of the issue. We’re also aware that some of our content is being hidden. We’re aware that users with Safe Mode turned on were having trouble seeing @scriptsocialwork. The blog had inadvertently been marked as “adult content” on the backend, which has been fixed, and all of us are currently making sure our blogs are marked appropriately. 

First, check if Safe Mode is turned on for you. Click here to look at your settings. You’ll see something that looks summat like this (in a browser): 

If you want the full Tumblr experience, make sure that Safe Mode is to the left and grayed out (as above).  We’re aware that Tumblr seems to have bugs that keep turning this back on, and it may be enforcing this for minors. No, we don’t know how to fix that. 

Second, if you’re having trouble seeing content from the Script blogs, please let us know. Please message either the blog mod or me about this. 

We strive very hard to keep content positive and friendly in the Script  family. We aim to be accessible and appropriate for all ages, with a minimum of gore or explicit language, but what we can’t control is how Tumblr sees our content. If a post or a blog is getting flagged as “sensitive”, we need to know about it so that we can get in touch with Tumblr. 

Tumblr is an evolving environment for blogs. As things change, we’ll try to keep up with them, and it’s our sincere hope that Tumblr does not hinder our readers’ access to our content. As we know more, you’ll know more. 

At your service, 

xoxo, Aunt Scripty,
The Script Family Mods,
& The Script Family
