tumblr grumbler

I was excited about Tumblr.  It was going to be my new Google Reader.  But lordy, lordy...it never seems to behave.

1) I can't "unfollow" certain Tumblrs -- the button just doesn't respond.  

2) The option to upload a photo from a URL only sometimes works in Firefox, never Chrome (btw, I'm a Chrome gal, so that's my default.)

3) I am always and forever viewing maybe 10 posts and then, ta-da: it gets stuck.





















Boo!  Do you have these problems?  

I think I'm throwing in the towel.

I only use Chrome too. I just "unfollowed" someone and it worked instantly. I have the same issue with "loading more posts" only when I use the iPhone app. I have had photos not load properly from time to time, but I usually can get it to work the next try. It took my employer forever (*eyeball roll*) to become compatible with Chrome though - it was annoying having to open IE to do anything work related! Don't give up on Tumblr.

I was able to unfollow a particular tumblr on my phone, so phew. But I'm still having problems. Just now I tried to reblog something, but it gets s-t-u-c-k, and it continues to not show more than 10 posts. I'm doing this mostly at work, so I don't know if things will work differently at home. Ugh. I love it, and I love sharing things I love. So I'm willing to give it another try.
