My internet is being an absolute dick right now and won't let me access tumblr at all. I try to go there, and it just loads for all enternity. It was fine yesterday when I first went on, but then when I got back from getting a flu jab it just wouldn't load at all. All other sites work perfectly fine, but anything connected to tumblr just won't work. I've tried accessing it from other browsers and even on my PS3, but nothing works. I've spent hours now googling how to fix it, and have reset and refreshed more things than I can count, and nothing has helped. I know tumblr isn't down either.

So I figured I've got nothing else to lose maybe one of you may know something stupid enough to work.

And before you ask, yes I have refreshed my cache and cookies.

Attempt to connect to tumblr via VPN or proxy server (choose wisely, you can't trust them all!)

Tumblr isn't working for me either. I think it's down at the moment or something.

Turns out it wasn't down or my computer. Vodafone ****ed up and tumblr was blocked for pretty much everyone in NZ who used them.

Which means I spent like 4 hours reseting and deleting things for no reason.

This is sort of irrelevant but apparently if you log out of tumblr right now you won't be able to log back in. Then again I've only seen one person post about it so I dunno if it's true but eh.

I had to log in to get on cause I'd deleted my cookies like 20 times trying to fix the damn thing, but I had no issues. Knowing tumblr it's probably just like 2 people who forgot their password.

Word of advice for the future: If your ISP (in your case, Vodafone) attempts to apply an ongoing block to a particular web address, use a virtual private network (VPN) to override it.

that's been happening to me for forever (i have copied and pasted passwords to test it), but i usually just wait a little while and can log back in. no cookie clearing etc.
