# Showing “future” posts?

 * Hello!
    I was trying to make a small list of upcoming DVD’s using the blogging
   tool, but I ran into a tiny problem. I would like to add new posts that have 
   the release date of the DVD instead of the date I have posted the message. However,
   the blog does not show these posts with “future dates”. Is there any way around
   this? I would like to change the timestamp show a different date that I have 
   posted the message in -> the release date of the DVD. Thanks in advance!

 * Actually, you can post to the future. The post won’t show up until that date 
   and time.
    So, yep. Posts with “future dates” will show up.

 * Ah, yeah, I thought it would be like that, but as I am making a list of upcoming
   DVD’s, it would be more convenient to see the posts right away and not at the
   date that they are released. 🙂
    I was trying to find a way to make a list of
   these release dates and I thought that I could use a blog as a base for this 
   list, but since it doesn’t show future posts right away, it doesn’t really work..
   I guess there is no way around this, then? So that I could see all the future
   posts right away? Or then I’ll just have to try and do it in a different way.

 * one good way would be changing the server time to the future so that it will 
   appear as “past”
    🙂

 * ok, but it is not my server but the server of my host.
    Any other suggestion?
   At this moment I am “misusing” the chronological archive method of a MT blog 
   for an events-page. It seems that the dynamic blog-tools as WP and TP are not
   usable for this. Although they allow to set an entry date to the future, they
   will not publish it today. Why? If I didn’t want to publish an entry I could 
   use the publish status “draft” or “private”. My visitors do like to read about
   old events, but future events are far more interesting! Anyone with a hack maybe?

 * Hrm.. the post date should be used for the post date. Why not manually type the
   release date in the post?

 * well.. there’s this date and time option..
    just place tons of 9 in the “Times
   in the weblog should differ by” box.. 🙂

 * You don’t want to change your server time or the offset to make this happen…those
   are ugly solutions. I know there was a post about this before, so I’ll try to
   find it.
    What about the custom meta fields? Could you use those in some way 
   to accomplish what you want? I could see a problem with posting too many things
   in the future…. If you want to post something today, it will get lost because
   everything on the front page will be future posts…just a thought.
