   I sent this to support, but in case anyone reads this here and can confirm I'm not crazy:

   Twice today I have had a prepublished post (set the time-stamp to the future) not show up on the main blog after the publish time. The second time I went and viewed it (via the Manage Pages dashboard) and the next post/previous post were listed on the top (next post had just been posted live), so it was clearly past the time I had set with the time-stamp. Both times I was able to get them to show up on the main blog page by hitting the publish button on the edit post page (and it retained the time-stamp from the first prepublishing). I've never had problems before prebublishing before, they always show up at the time I've selected.

   Posting to the future seems to have been buggy for a long while. I don't think anyone knows why, which makes it difficult to fix.

   Couple of other threads and posts on this issue:

   Support (Barry) replied and said that it should be working fine now. I pretty much only use it on Fridays since my Friday post gets compiled throughout the week, so I probably won't know if it's fixed till later in the week.

   Agree with Wank. It's a known issue that's been around for ages. I do hope that Barry has worked on it and will pass along the fix to Donncha so that it can be fixed with the WPMu code as well.
