I'm Still Here

Time seems such a universal concept and then I find out the different ways people perceive everything and remember “it’s all appearances to consciousness”

Hello,

From Dec 1, 2021, we’ll be changing how tags in URLs are parsed, making searching for tags with special characters or multiple words more precise. You can choose to opt in ahead of time via a toggle over at tumblr.com/customize. Read on for more info.

What’s this about? We’re telling you about a new setting you can toggle on the web at tumblr.com/customize, to support spaces, hyphens, plus signs, and underscores in tags. After Dec 1, this change will be enabled on all blogs, but you’ll still be able to opt out using the same toggle.

Who will be affected by this change? Anyone who has:

Bookmarked /tagged or /search pages;

/tagged or /search page links in a post, a blog’s theme or description, or somewhere outside of Tumblr.

What do you need to do? If that’s you, click here or head to tumblr.com/customize and toggle the “Use better tagged and search URL decoding.”

You’ll need to update any hard-coded URLs to /tagged and /search pages that you added manually to those URLs. However, you won’t need to make any updates to the tags on your posts.

before, if you wanted to go to a blog’s tag that had a space in it, the url would end in “/tagged/tag-here” but now it’s “/tagged/tag%20here” (html/javascript/ascii or something encodes a space as %20)

so before, to view something i’d tagged as “#ask game” on my blog, i’d type my url and “/tagged/ask-game” but this is where that leads now

and to get to the actual “#ask game” tag i have to type this now

i hope this helped somewhat, i don’t know how exactly this impacts the search function since it’s so broken i never bother to use it, maybe someone else can explain that
