    Out of all the forum software out there, what scripts have thread/post scheduling function?

    I know that XF does not, MyBB (I believe?) does not. phpBB I think, has a mod, but I am over that script by now.

    I am already using WP - and the large reason for that is scheduling posts.

    Basically, the story goes like this, I have a bunch of ideas one day and none the next. Or I do not even log in. I need to spread things out a bit and an addon that could postpone the posting would be invaluable...

    What others have scheduling either as a mod or part of the core?

    There isn't a [forum] software that does this.

    You can schedule the vbulletin suite CMS post AFAIK but I'm not a fan of that CMS.

    IPB has this built in, when you start a topic you can specify a topic opening time.

    I wasn't aware that it could be done on vBulletin through post AFAIK so thanks for the tip. Scheduling on forums is not a great idea since it can mess up big time. For instance, a lot of members could schedule their threads for something like "Happy New Year" or "Happy Birthday" and it could create hell number of threads on the same topic which of course leads to maintenance nightmare. I think there's a good reason why most forum scripts don't have this feature.
