Future-dated stickies still possiblefiddlingfrogMarch 16 2012, 06:03:22 UTC

The Post an Entry page only checks to see if an entry should be a delayed entry when you first hit Post. This means that 1) Your existing future-dated stickies will stay right where they are, at the top of your journal, until you re-date them to move them away. 2) If you want new future-dated stickies you need to post regularly without changing the date. Then, edit your new entry and change the date to something in the future. That's it, no more checkbox to "Date Out of Order" needed.
This information would be a lot more accessible if it was in the body of the post... or if you had a subject line to really make it pop instead of just some bold font inside the comment.
Ahahaha, am viewing in custom style - that is the subject line. LJ's own people aren't using the default comment pages, and assume we aren't, either. Really says something about the usability of your product when your own support staff doesn't want to use it.
Suspect you realized this and were being sarcastic, but found it too funny not to comment on it.
