   I have followed all the instructions on scheduling a post
   http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/

   Also read all the forum threads I could find that offer a few suggestions, but none apply or make any difference.
   I've tried multiple times with different settings, but no post has ever been published. They all result in a status of "Missed schedule"
   I have recheck time zone
   I have allowed more time into the future for the post schedule and used odd hours/minutes (to give WP servers a better chance...?!)

   Acknowledging the fact I'm using a free service, this is still a major inconvenience. Post scheduling was the #1 feature I wanted when starting a blog, as I will be offering an early morning daily blog release (with up to a week drafted and scheduled in advance). I chose wordpress.com due to the high reviews, reputation and backed up by support engineers.

   In the last 3 days, I've yet to see any response from wordpress engineers.
   Community support is wonderful, but none of us are in a position to fix it... only offer a voice to get some attention/pressure put on a resolution.

   Looking back I've seen some complaints in April 2012. Then recently in July there have been a whole lot more. It appears a real and recurring bug with this feature is impacting various wordpress.com blogs

   I have a deadline of August 1st where I would hope to have this resolved.

   Thanks very much
   Ryan

   Thanks for that
   I've read it and seems you are trying to get staff to look at it - and not turn a blind eye :)
   Guess we can just cross the fingers and wait

   Sorry to double post (can't edit previous)

   URL to my test post is:
   http://60daysofpurpose.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/schedule-test/
   OR perhaps the preview is needed....
   http://60daysofpurpose.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/schedule-test/?preview=true

   This post will remain active and unchanged for testing and resolution purposes, unless advised otherwise

   I will see what happens in 1 hr when schedule hits...

   Update

   I'd just like to report that my blog has been fixed
   In the last 3 days, (while I was absent from updating/checking) a post that was scheduled and missed, then got published
   http://60daysofpurpose.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/schedule-test/?preview=true

   Today I have made a new post that was scheduled in future, and it too published on time (visited from another browser not logged into wordpress)
   http://60daysofpurpose.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/twitter-test/?preview=true

   Hope everyone else has scheduling working soon (and no further hiccups)
