> replies, I have hardly ever seen them used before they were removed. in any case, the new implementation is much better

How are so you sure that a feature you never used is better than it was before it changed? Even if I'd never used tumblr, I would find this response to be incredible, in the original sense of the word.

Replies are so bad that I don't use tumblr anymore. They used to just load in a normal HTML page, but now you get a page with lots of suggested posts, and some sort of pop-over with replies that's too slow to really be usable even on my brand new iPhone. It's usable on desktop if you want to wait a few seconds for enough CSS and javascript to load that the pop-over shows up, and then scroll through and read a long list of replies.
