“Can’t Connect To Server” Error on New XKit – Don’t Panic!

new-xkit-extension:

Some of you on loading Tumblr today may have received a popup that looks like this:

This popup is in fact lying. Some of Old XKit’s services finally expired and stopped running today, and while we operate our own codebase, there are some references to the old one in a few places that triggered a notification when they went down.

New XKit still works.  In fact, if you reload the page, the notification should no longer display and New XKit should still function normally.

If you are still using Old XKit, now is a great time to download New XKit!
