You cannot select an overnight queue window.
Hi. I blog from the UK with many American readers, and so I want to set the queue for my blogs to post only in a window from 5pm to 3am my time. However, Tumblr won't recognize this as a valid window. When you hit save, it reverts to 12 and 12.
If you try to choose something different (that doesn't wrap over the midnight line) such as 5AM to 3PM, it works fine.
I'm sure it's an oversight but in case it matters I can replicate the error both in Safari 4 and Firefox 3.0.7, on an intel mac book pro running an up to date version of Leopard.
Thanks! I have talked to your support team about this in the past, but at the time, I just thought the option didn't work at all, not realizing it was the window I was choosing.

Inappropriate?It's not a solution so much as a patch, but you could set your Tumblelog's timezone to something else where your desired posting times don't straddle midnight.
So if you're wanting to post from 5pm to 3am on UTC+0, you could change to the Eastern Standard Time zone (UTC-5) and set your queue to publish from 12:00pm to 10:00pm.
And since, AFAIK, each Tumblelog has its own time zone setting, doing so won't mess up any of your other locally-timed blogs. You might just have to do some time zone math if you want to publish something at a specific time. ("10am my time Tuesday should be set to publish at... 5am blog time.")
I'm not a Tumblr rep, so I'm unsure what other impacts this might have, but it will at least make it work. :-)
I’m hoping this helps
