This is too strange I have followed the instructions to a "T". Yet only the originator of the POTD can see the POTD's. Any ideas?

I haven't tried it. Not working for you? You realize you have to replace the number 5 with whatever usergroup you want to be able to approve POTD, right?

Yea... I realize that. But it didn't work.

But I do appreciate your input.

I have checked everything and still no luck. Any ideas?

HA!!!!! I figured out the first problem.

This hack is based on the individual users time setting therefore if the setting is wrong you might not see anything because your clock is in essence showing tomorrow.

Yes, I admit it I should have figured this out quicker.

I apologize!

But maybe my stupidity will help someone else! :D

However, the alteration for mods and supermods does not work. It gives the mods and supermods a "no permissions" page.

So this automatically expires at midnight and sets all posts to not potd?

Fili, anyway to make this hack in to Post of the Month? Counting days instead of hours?

I'd be willing to pay for something like that.

Yes to the first bit, no to the second (they're still marked as a POTD, but just not that day; it stores a potddateline for each post (0 = not a POTD, anything else = made a POTD at that date/time, and it shows anything with a potddateline > midnight of that day).

Filburt1 I have been using this thing for a day now and I really see awesome potential for this hack - in a way I am really surprised this didn't already exist.

You already know my other suggestions but here is one more....

Due to the fact that almost nobody on these forums takes the time to actually set their clock to the correct time zone a large percentage of the users don't even SEE the post of the day because their clock is displaying tomorrow or yesterday.

Maybe it would be better if the post of the day simply lasted 24 hours from the time it was picked. That way it wouldn't matter how your clock was set.
