I don't know if this has been done before, but I've been searching for a while and can't find it.

I'd like to be able to write up a post and be able to have it automatically posted at a later time set by me.

I run a trivia contest on by board and my members often know when I'm going to be online because of my work schedule so I'd like to be able to write up a trivia question in the morning and be able to set the question to post on the board at a certain time later in the day.

Anyone know of something like this?

Thanks,

BGray

Try Xenon's "More Options in editpost if you are an Admin" (or something like that). ;)

nope boofo, not the same.
he means that the post will appear in the future, not just change the dateline of a post.

well it's not be done right now, but if you can wait until vb3 with vb cron it would be possible

Sure it can be done: just set the dateline in the future and modify forumdisplay and showthread to only show threads with datelines <= UNIX_TIMESTAMP() (+ a few secs in case your board is slow).
