Tumblr on IE app

Like many mobile devices, Internet Explorer on Xbox does not support browser plug-ins. If a webpage uses a plug-in such as Flash, Java or Silverlight, the webpage may appear blank or notify you that a plug-in is required. If you experience this issue, follow
these steps to configure Internet Explorer to request the mobile version of pages you visit.

[Note This setting can also help if the webpage you are visiting doesn't look right on your TV.]

Press Y to display the Web Hub.

Select the Settings icon on the address bar.

Select the check box for Use web pages formatted for mobile devices.

Select OK, and then reload the webpage.

IE on SurfaceRT is using the most up to date versions of IE, which are supported fine by Tumblr and their security policies.

Xbox however isn't, probably due to a technical limitation, and thus tumblr has restricted access due to an outdated browser

appreciate the answer, but makes smartglass useless if you can't browse something like tumblr

And it can't be IE blocking because tumblr works fine on my Surface RT browser.

Probably some stupid restriction cause people use tumblr for porn.

According to the official post Tumblr Staff made a while back in January, (the last time Tumblr worked on an XBOX console), they said IE would no longer be supported on the OS Windows XP. It says nothing about Tumblr supposed to be shut off for XBOX and
official support commented that they are working to fix this. Patience is key; in the meantime if you want to blog on a TV screen, why not just use an HDMI cable to hook up your laptop directly to your TV?

I think I have the awnser! Tumblr started to drop IE from its browser allowed listing, telling the users to download Chrome or Firefox instead. Since the Xbox uses IE, it was obviously gone. I doubt Microsoft would get the other two so we are sadly without
it.
