  Hi,

  Following tumblr’s ban on anything remotely nsfw. I decided it would be a good idea to import my blog here. My blog (as far as I’m concerned) doesn’t have anything explicit on it, but seeing as tumblr’s algorithms are rubbish and have been flagging perfectly innocent posts, I thought it best to be safe and backup my blog.

  I started the import around a week ago. And although it’s imported about 3000 of my posts, my total post count is around 11371. The import seems to have stalled at the 3000 mark. Is there something wrong with the import? Is it just taking so long because of everyone migrating from tumblr? Or did I meet my limit space wise and so cannot import anymore content?

  Many thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi emsiecat,

  It appears the Tumblr import on your site has now failed, so I’ve reset the importer so you can try again.

  If it seems to take a while, please be patient and don’t try cancelling the process yourself — we’re still experiencing a high volume of imports from Tumblr at the moment causing a backlog of pending imports in our system. The imports are being run in the order they are submitted.

  If some posts have already imported they will be skipped by the importer during your next attempt, so they should not be duplicated.
