I often receive links to add that won't be valid until a future date. I'd love to be able to add the links when I receive them, but specify a future date for them to be active in the directory rather than have them show up immediately. Would also love to be able to expire links by date rather than number of days. Thanks!

1. Will probably come up when/if I make WSN Classifieds. 2. I may be able to work that into 3.22 today.

2. is in 3.22, though of course for it to tell you so you'd need to use the new wording in those templates.

Are you saying that future dating will not become a feature in links? It would make life a lot easier for me..

For what purpose exactly?

In my case, I run a coupon site. My advertisers often send me details for promotions a month ahead of time. I have close to 400 merchants and growing to keep track of. It would be easier for me to be able to set up a link the day I receive a future promotion, rather than store the info in my email bin somewhere and hope I remember to do it later. I'm sure others may have different applications for this. I sure would love it! Glad to see I'm not the only one.

It sounds like eeyipes and I have the same type of site. I also recieve promotions in advance of the start date. Setting up outlook tasks is a pain, plus I am not always available to add the link the first day of the promotion.
