About

A large group of castaway Stumblers now call Tumblr their home-away-from-home. This bulletin board collects and displays information that might be helpful for those wandering Stumblers. To post to this board, click the "Submit" link located in the "Links" box on this page. Please keep your submissions relevant to the community of Stumblers moving to Tumblr. Thanks!



Looking for something specific?

 
elledark: Just when you thought Stumbleupon couldn’t get any dumber, they pull a major surprise and confound your expectations. And just in time for Xmas too.When Stumbleupon sent in the bailiffs to evict their bloggers most of us moved here or to categorian. Some (I’m one) still keep SU accounts for messaging or shares and even look in occasionally the way one might look in on a sick friend, hoping that the illness is subsiding and they’re feeling a bit better.Well unfortunately they’re not getting better, in fact things have just got much worse. Its pretty much terminal in fact. They’ve apparently hired a 5 year-old web designer to completely revamp the user interface and functionality. Everything is crude, harder to get to, more inconvenient. Much of what there is is broken and the last few shreds of individuality and sociability have been stripped out of it.If you’re an old stumbler have a visit, click the obtrusive orange ‘try the new stumbleupon’ bar and marvel at how supposedly half-way intelligent people can totally wreck what used to be a decent site. There’s nothing left there now.Thank goodness for Tumblr, eh ? In the new design there seems to be no mail service. And it’s impossible to navigate to any particular Stumbler’s page (unless that Stumbler just happens to be “Featured”). Wretched.
