Does anybody know what time it is?

, , ,

I've just noticed that you can no longer set the time of your blog. You either post it at the time you want it to appear or you don't post it at all.

It's not a feature I feel much need for but I am curious as to why it's been removed. I'm guessing it was being abused in some way, but how do you abuse a time/date stamp? Were people writing stuff they'd seen elsewhere then backdating their blog so's it looked like they'd thought of it first?

My only concern is that I used it to 'post' a blog at an hour that didn't exist, the one that vanishes when they put the clocks forward for daylight savings time.

I do hope that didn't upset the system so badly that they had to make sure that I never ever do it again.

I think we should be told...

The girls are back in town...This is not a blog post.

Do you mean a blog entry's "Post date/time"? It's still available (under advanced options). You need to have a recent version of Opera, though.

I tried it once, to post a blog to appear the following day, but it posted it immediately. Never did try it again.

Hmmm. I'm using 8.5 and 'Advanced options' was where it always used to be, but it's not there now.

Must be a bug with the Linux version.

HEY!.... OP-ER-AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

If you have a Java runtime installed and need the feature, I recommend using Opera Mini. The online version is at http://www.operamini.com/demo/

The time/date field should look something like 2007-08-31T15:43:33Z

I just reloaded Opera and it's back!

Computers. Can't live with them, can't smash them up for scrap...

It seems that it displays on your computer but not on anyone else's.

Or at least, it does now...
