I FOUND IT! I FOUND THE ANSWER!
Okay, maybe not the final answer, but part of the problem! Asks keep getting eaten. Which is a big problem when you’re doing something anon and don’t want to ask the person “did you get it”?
If the ask contains an ellipsis without a trailing space, it gets eaten. It says delivered, but it goes nowhere.
So “Well… then” will get delivered but “Well…then” won’t!
Hopefully this helps in getting your asks actually delivered.
Post I made for my RP account, but very relevant elsewhere.
After discovering this, I tested it. Five different accounts between two people, anon vs not. No matter what, without fail, if the trailing space was missing, the message was not delivered.
I contacted Tumblr staff. They were already fully aware this was happening, but it is not documented anywhere. Nor do they seem keen on giving their users a warning about it in any fashion.
Help me spread the word because the staff won’t!
WHAT EVEN THE HELL
Just found out this is a thing :D.. tested it, too.
Oml IS THIS WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MY FOLLOWERS ASKS?!
That’s so dumb. Thank you for finding this out for everyone.
@alpha-lizurd I wonder if this was the reason behind my asks disappearing
Interesting, I recently was told someone send me an ask that I never got. I didn’t realize it was an actual issue and not tumblr being dumb randomly.
IF YOU HAVE EVER SENT ME AN ASK AND ARE AFRAID I IGNORED IT, PLEASE DON’T FEEL SHY ABOUT ASKING ME IF I GOT IT. I will not feel pressured or annoyed at your just checking, even if it was on anon. I will never intentionally ignore someone.
Reblogging for awareness!
Missing Asks!
