    The last time I asked, I was told that it's not possible in VB3, now that we are on VB4 and have this option for blog posts, can we have the option to submit thread now and have them go live at a later date/time? :)

    For premium members? ;)

    It would be helpful as we would be able to get the maximum eyeballs from our target market during the Sticky time.

    You mean scheduling of posts? The idea is good though.
    I guess it's still not possible in vB 4 unless Shawn writes a custom plugin.

    Your idea is really very awesome and impressive. I really like the scheduling of posts. But I think we should do it manually.

    Sorry.. Not going to happen. Would just make already slow/complex queries to display thread lists even slower as well as adding the overhead of tracking publish date to over 14 million posts.

    hmm.. I have seen some firefox scripts/plugins which lets user schedule activities in MMORPG's, perhaps it could be possible via something like that w/o putting load on DB's?

    Like we could type in a thread, leave the browser open and at xx:xx the script would submit it? Ofcourse it would have to be Dp/Vb special.
