How do I schedule a Tumblr post for midnight?

[armanur]

Scenario: It’s 11 p.m. I’ve written something for my Tumblr, but decide that I’d rather save it to be posted tomorrow since I know that most folks are asleep.

So I click the “Publish Now” dropdown and change it to “Publish on…” which automatically fills in “next tuesday, 10am” but today is Wednesday, so waiting until Tuesday seems like a bit much.

"10am" sounds good, though, so I change it to say "10am" and then click "Schedule Post".

At which point, Tumblr will publish it automatically, and back-date it to 10am this morning.

I can’t think of any useful scenario where I would actually want to back-date a post to earlier today, but that’s what Tumblr assumes.

Workaround: Always use the time and day that you want to publish your post. Don’t assume Tumblr will “do the right thing” (unless, I suppose, it’s after midnight and you want to schedule something for later that same day).
