The error message you’re seeing on Tumblr — “There was an error processing your request. Our engineers have been alerted.” — typically means that something went wrong on Tumblr’s end, not yours.
Here’s what it usually implies and what you can try:
🔍 What It Means
Server-side issue: Tumblr’s servers are likely experiencing a hiccup or temporary outage.
Backend bug or overload: There could be an internal bug, misconfiguration, or the service may be overwhelmed.
Automatic logging: The message means the error was logged, and Tumblr’s dev team is (supposedly) aware.

🛠 What’s Happening?
Tumblr recently posted that a brief downtime was resolved, and currently there are no ongoing incidents according to their official Channels. However, users continue reporting persistent errors with posting, commenting, and navigation—especially messages like “error processing your request” and gateway issues.
🔍 Why You’re Seeing That Error
That specific message—“There was an error processing your request. Our engineers have been alerted.”—signals a backend failure on their side. It typically appears when Tumblr’s servers encounter an unexpected issue. While Tumblr states their engineers have been informed, there’s often a delay before fixes reach all regions or accounts.
🧠 Pro Tip
If you’re trying to post something and it keeps failing, save a copy of your content externally before retrying — just in case.
