I don't know why I'm creating a Tumblr blog...

I JUST REBLOGGED THIS ON TUMBLR BUT THOUGHT MAYBE I'D POST IT HERE

I see people panicking and I also saw someone else share this tip so I wanted to do so as well.

When you search for a tag now this is what the URL will look like

http://www.tumblr.com/search/dontcallmedanno

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THE OLD PAGE BACK IS CHANGE

/SEARCH/

TO /TAGGED/.

That’s it, one word and you’re back in business! Unless Tumblr takes it away permanently.

I wish they’d adapt that multi-post grid look for the queue and like pages so we can get through them faster but, maybe that will come later.

It's really not Yahoo's fault they had to change the search. It's because Apple doesn't want you to wank on your iPhone, so they wanted porn searches blocked on the Tumblr app, or they wouldn't let Tumblr have an app.

What? That can't be true. There are multiple apps on iPhone entirely dedicated to sending other people pictures of your junk.

All, we’ve heard from a bunch of you who are concerned about Tumblr censoring NSFW/adult content. While there seems to be a lot of misinformation flying around, most of the confusion seems to stem from our complicated flagging/filtering features. Let me clear up (and fix) a few things:

1. Last year, we added “Safe Mode” which lets you filter out NSFW content from tag and search pages. This is enabled by default for new users and can be toggled in your Dashboard Settings. As some of you have pointed out, disabling Safe Mode still wasn’t allowing search results from all blogs to appear. This has been fixed.

2. Some search terms are blocked (returning no results) in some of our mobile apps. Unfortunately, different app environments have different requirements that we do our best to adhere to. The reason you see innocent tags like #gay being blocked on certain platforms is that they are still frequently returning adult content which our entire app was close to being banned for. The solution is more intelligent filtering which our team is working diligently on. We’ll get there soon. In the meantime, you can browse #lgbtq — which is moderated by our community editors — in all of Tumblr’s mobile apps. You can also see unfiltered search results on tumblr.com using your mobile web browser.

3. Earlier this year, in an effort to discourage some not-so-nice people from using Tumblr as free hosting for spammy commercial porn sites, we started delisting this tiny subset of blogs from search engines like Google. This was never intended to be an opt-in flag, but for some reason could be enabled after checking off NSFW → Adult in your blog settings. This was confusing and unnecessary, so we’ve dropped the extra option. If your blog contains anything too sexy for the average workplace, simply check “Flag this blog as NSFW" so people in Safe Mode can avoid it. Your blog will still be promoted in third-party search engines.

Aside from these fixes, there haven’t been any recent changes to Tumblr’s treatment of NSFW content, and our view on the topic hasn’t changed. Empowering your creative expression is the most important thing in the world to us. Making sure people aren’t surprised by content they find offensive is also incredibly important and we are always working to put more control in your hands.

Sorry for all of the confusion. If you have any more concerns or suggestions on how we can make these features clearer or more useful, please email us!

This one doesn't mention iPhone specifically, but I remember reading something blaming Apple. COULD HAVE BEEN APPLE HATERS.
 
GOOD DETECTIVE WORK, JESSICA!

Yeah it most likely has to do with Apple. Ulike the other platforms, Apple is monolithic and can make its own laws without having to deal with nasty things like consensus opinion or peer consultation. It's got their stank on it.
 
NO NO IT'S NOT TRUE JUST BEEN BUSY AT WORK AND THE ONLY TIME I REALLY TUMBLE IS DURING COMMERCIAL BREAKS OR FROM MY PHONE I STILL LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE MY MF
 
I WAS JUST TESTING YOU, LIKE I MUST TEST EVERYONE TO THE POINT WHERE THEY SAY "OH FUCK OFF WACKY" SO YOU PASS AND ALSO LOVE.
 
Jennifer Lawrence fucking rules, Cumberbatch...he's alright? Good actor but I don't see THE HOTNESS. Surprised Tom Hiddleston wasn't second.
