I’m really unsure as to why Tumblr is hiding the directory - tagging one’s blog is important to help people find it thematically, and plus it is fun to browse through Tumblrs via tags and check out rankings. Despite continuing to exist, it’s no longer linked at the bottom of the Dashboard/when you make a post and I have no clue why!

It was bad enough when they moved it the first time, I couldn’t find it for days :P

But this is just ridiculous.

I know - I sent them this message yesterday and got a vague response:

I just noticed this that the Directory llink was removed from the bottom of the Dashboard, and I made a post about this as well on my own Tumblr: http://neonsigh.tumblr.com/post/251229387

A lot of newer Tumblr users I’ve been in contact with were unaware of it existing at all because it was first taken off of the top drop-down menu, and now it’s gone missing on the main page as well, even though it is still usable (and very useful! I browse by tag and country quite frequently). I would be interested to know the reason behind this! Thanks in advance,

And this was the response:

Marilyn,

Hello!

Directory is still up at http://www.tumblr.com/directory.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.

Thanks for using Tumblr!

I think my message was pretty clear! Oh well, I will try again…EDIT: Ok, got a better response this time, though still no reasoning:

Marilyn,

Hello again!

It seems as though the developers changed the format.

I can’t tell you how much we appreciate your support and feedback. I’ve passed your suggestion to add it back along to our development team.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.

Thanks for using Tumblr!

Thomas
