How to Stumble fast and easy?

[Former_Member]

Hi everyone, I am pretty new here on this team and with Stumbleupon. I am wondering if stumbleupon has a button you can put in your toolbar you can click on to stumble something you see and like while surfing the Internet, without being logged in or on the stumble upon website, just like Pinterest has? Now I have to copy/paste everything and log in to stumble. Takes up some time:) Love to hear more and learn more!

Thanks, Maartje.

PS: did they change the pages and layout?

I know they use to before switching to the new format but now I can't find it

There is a tool bar! go to your stumble page, scroll all the way to the bottom, one of the links says "downloads", you just need to find the right one for the browser you use :) It makes it A LOT easier

I downloaded the tool bar, so I go straight to the site, bit I still have to copy paste it, after I clicked the Add New Site button. Is that the fasted way? Also, how do I search for people who I know stumble too, without allowing Facebook access?

For example, if I want to search for you with out your link, how do I do that?

I'm confused to what you guys are seeing on your toolbars. I'm on Firefox and my toolbar works pretty simply. I'm wondering if you got a different download with the newest upgrade?

I just go to my toolbar and click on the thumbs up "I like it!" button on the left. Once I click that, I've stumbled someone, unless a white box comes up that asks you to leave tags, category, and a review. I thought the review box only came up if there was no review (in which it will), but I think it may also come up other times.

Then if you want to Stumble someone without a review, there is a quick option to do so within the upper right of that box. But I really think your doing best by someone to leave tags and a review because I think without proper tagging and review, the Stumble is more likely to just disappear into Cyberspace without being passed along and re-stumbled by others.

I hope some of this helps. I know Stumbleupon is kind of weird to navigate once you are new to it, but once you get it working for you, it is very quick, especially when a review is already left and they don't ask for one.

Maartje, you shouldn't have to copy and paste anything.

Also, I haven't found a way to find any specific person Stumbling. Usually I just get the addresses by asking or sharing on teams like this.

Hi Janeane, Nickie, Dawn and Nikki,

Thanks for the info!

I also use Firefox, but my tool bar says Start Stumbling or sign in. It takes me directly to my page on Stumbleupon, and than I still have to click, add a website, and copy paste it. Did you download it from Stumbleupon? Do you have a link? The only way to find my friends on there is to allow Facebook to connect. But I do not want every Stumble clock up my facebook pages.

FYI, am I following you already:)?

Maartje,

Here's the link:

Just install the add-on for Firefox, even if it is the same one, try it again. Be sure to restart Firefox after the install.

I can't see you following me yet. Go to the column on the left and click "Connections", then look just above that column and you can click "followers" and "following" and see what you've got.

Here's my Stumbleupon link:

I think if this toolbar doesn't work like it's supposed to for you after this, that you may need to change something in your Preferences.

Are you on a Mac or a PC?

Hi there's somthing I'm not getting: I've read a lot about having to add tags and descriptions to stumbled pages but I have no idea where and how to do that; when I stumble/like someone's page it doesn't ask me for any tags or description, even when it's a new discovery...
