If you change the submission time to a future date it still displays the listing.

Also, is it possible to show the submission date in that field box when you edit?

It's correct for it to display the submission regardless of what date you put on it. The data isn't supposed to affect behavior. If you don't want something to show yet, use the effective date field.

The submission date is shown to the left in the default templates, but you can edit the template to set value="{LINKDATE}" on the input box and that should work.

duh! sorry and thanks Paul - got punch drunk with everything!

The submission date is shown to the left in the default templates,


Is it? Where? It's not on my default edit.tpl from the latest download - all I have is...
Change listing submission time:
To change, type a new date in a common format such as August 31, 2004 or 5/7/2004.

You're right, it's not. Somehow I have a false memory of putting it in there a couple months ago. Probably thought about it and decided it wasn't worth forcing a template change mid-series.

It's probably more intuitive to have it pre-filled, so I'll do that for 6.0. I guess I haven't before because I'm nervous about someone using a display date format that strtotime doesn't understanding, causing all the submission times to get zeroed on edits. I can prevent that issue by forcing the date format to the server default.
