#queue advice

[usasheeran]

advice for waiting on line from 5 am- opening?

Get a good night’s sleep before that day. This way you could stay alert/awake the whole time. 

I don’t know what the season you guys are on now but dress appropriately, bring a change of clothes, blankets, umbrellas.

Bring something that you could do to past by the time, a book would be ideal since unless you got a back up battery your phone might be dead even before the show starts

It’s best if you are with someone, you can take turns in sleeping/buying food/checking out infos from the venue staff etc.

Bring food if you can, be sure you are hydrated but avoid foods that could make you take a lot of trips to the bathroom

Know/study the area before, like where you are supposed to queue, nearest fastfood etc.

Maybe you can befriend the others in line too? You’ll never know, you might be following each other on Twitter/Tumblr

Bring the essentials, always mind your things. Big crowds attract bad people

Maybe you could text your parents/relative/friends of what you are up to once every hour just to be sure.

That’s all I could think of now, anything else, guys?

I know this might be a strange question to ask, But how does queue work? And how do you set It up? Sometimes I'm away from Tumblr for a few hours and I keep thinking that I could set queue up but I'm not sure how to.

No that’s actually a really good question, you’re not the first that i’ve helped out with this particular thing actually, so don’t worry about it at all! :)Oh the Queue, it’s my best friend,  it is a life savior. xD It can hold 300 photos for you at a time, and you can set it to post a maximum of 50 photos in the time frame of how ever long you want it to run for, that being said the maximum run time is only 12 hours. (I usually just set mine up for 50 photos from 12am to 12pm and then again 50 photos from 12pm to 12am)

To set up your queue, you just go down your dash and when you find a photo you like, rather than clicking the reblog button, click the queue button (it should look like a clock) and it will go in there. Then once you feel you have enough to keep you happy, then you go into your queue (your queue will show up underneath where your DRAFTS are in your dashboard sidebar once you have at least one photo in there)Change your queue to the amount of hours you’re going to be gone off of tumblr for.  Keep an eye on the posting times scheduled beside each photo because this is pretty much just fiddling around and finding the amount of minutes in between each picture posting (i usually try to make my posts section out at least 10-20 minutes apart from each other. This usually just happens automatically when you choose to post 50 photos in time time frame of 12 hours.) :) and once you’ve found your happy medium, click SAVE and you’ve successfully set up your queue!Hope that helped <3 Take care and have a good one xx
