Unmentionables on Tumblr:
When you enter the @ symbol and a username on Tumblr, you can mention a blog, sending that blog account a notification. Unless you can’t. Here are some cases where Tumblr usernames won’t show up in results when you try to “@mention” them, or the mention notification won’t go through.

  • The setting for “Allow this blog to appear in search results” is turned off for the blog. User mention relies on a Tumblr user search, and disallowing all searches for the blog includes opting out of the user mention search.
  • The blog is identified as adult-oriented/not safe for work in its blog settings (and you are not following the NSFW blog).
  • The blog is a secondary blog that is password protected.
  • The blog account doing the mentioning is so new that Tumblr won’t send mention notifications as an anti-spam measure.
  • The blog account doing the mentioning was blocked. So if you block a blog, that shunned blog cannot “@mention” your blog on Tumblr.

The mystery about the tagging. Now you know. 

@jaiwithani any of this describe you and your ability-to-be-tagged problems?

I can see mentions like this just fine, but my attempts to follow things that get tagged #jaiwithani have been met with sadness and despair.

If the email address on your Tumblr account is from AT&T, change it before June 30, 2017. That includes email addresses from att.net, ameritech.net, bellsouth.net, flash.net, nvbell.net, pacbell.net, prodigy.net, sbcglobal.net, snet.net, swbell.net and wans.net. If you don’t make the switch to a different email address, you will lose access to your Tumblr account.

See Tumblr Help and AT&T Support for details.

#I checked the source links and they appear to be legit #I *hope* that they’re competent enough to at least notify directly the people who are using these addresses #(and that the only reason I haven’t seen anything about this is because I’m not using an affected address) #but I don’t *trust* that they are #so here’s a #PSA #The Great Tumblr Apocalypse

Oh, actually, this is a good place to get survey data on an interesting question of linguistics. Could as many people as possible please take this survey on whether certain constructions seem grammatical to you so I can answer a problem that’s been bugging my household.

I’m not sure whether “homeschooled with English-language schoolbooks by a native-English-speaking mother” qualifies as “>10 years in an English-language school system” for your purposes. I clicked “no”, because normally when people ask me if I’ve spent >10 years in a school system the correct answer is “no”, but now I’m having second thoughts.
