I drew this a while ago and I don’t know why. I’m just going to leave it here.

So, Tumblr uses the Prototype JavaScript Framework for AJAX and DOM manipulation. The AJAX calls are used to load the next page of posts for the endlessly scrolling dashboard.
The “Endless scrolling” feature of Tumblr is extremely fragile, which is why I went to my preferences page and turned it off a long time ago.
Using regular pages also means that if you are going back and need to stop, you can bookmark where you were.
It also solves the problem of accidentally hitting a link that opens in the same tab instead of a new one, because you can always hit the “back” button in your browser.
I’ve shut “Endless scrolling" off because it’s too finicky, but I don’t miss it much. With keyboard shortcuts, the experience still pretty darn smooth:
- j = next post
- k = previous post
- Right Arrow = next page
- Left Arrow = previous page
j should take you to the next page if you’re at the bottom, but hey, one step at a time. Also, having it paginated is easier on your browser — you don’t have all those pictures bogging things down.
