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).

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
