Changes to Post Timestamp not taking effect

It looks like I found a bug in the way WordPress handles the Post Timestamp functionality. If I edit an item which had a time stamp in the future and change it to another date the post still goes live on the original date – not on the new one I specified.

See the two latest posts in my blog: http://dmitrysotnikov.wordpress.com

Today is July 19, this was their originally intended date, which I later changed to July 20 (tomorrow). Despite this change both of them went live today – 1 day early.

Ironically, despite the fact that the posts went live 1 day earlier, both their paths and their Published date have July 20 (the date which I set later and wanted them to go live):

Looks odd – send in a support request (support@wordpress.com)

Same thing happened to me today – a post scheduled for July 23rd went up this morning, most annoying.

…and then I edited the text of the post, and it “unposted” – when I clicked “save”, the time stamp of 23rd July took effect. How odd.

my timestamp is always like 5 hours ahead of time, and i can’t get it to sync with the real time. can’t we choose time zones or something so it’s not always off?

Go to options > general and under date and time, set your offset from UTC to the proper number and then click “update options.”
