Ask

What is the Ask feature?

This feature allows other Tumblr users or anonymous readers to ask you questions. You can choose to answer publicly by publishing to your blog, or privately by sending a response that will appear in the other user's inbox. Note that you can’t really respond privately to anonymous questions because they’re not associated with any particular Tumblr account, and thus there’s no inbox for your answer to go to, silly.

How do I enable the Ask feature?

Click Settings (the gear icon) at the top of your Dashboard, then, on the right side of the page, choose the blog you’d like to update.

In the Ask section, enable “Let people ask questions.”

Fill in “Ask page title” with whatever you’d like to name the Ask page (and the Ask link on your theme if it shows one).

If you want to allow anyone (not just Tumblr users) to ask questions, check the box that says “Allow anonymous questions.”

Is there a limit to how many Asks I can send?

You can send up to 10 Asks per hour, and only five of those can be anonymous.

My ex was making noise about my letting our daughters go on Tumblr. (They're nearly 17). She said I was exposing them to pornography.

What's she going to say now? That the President of the United States is exposing our children to pornography?
