Hi. Whatever schedule date I put in, news items are published immediately. I've used a previous version of this program (Drupal 4.x) without any difficulty so there's a setting some place which is preventing the program operating correctly?

Thanks

Alan

Did you enter date AND time? You always have to enter both (see the example below the publish_on textbox.

Yes Eric.

The Scheduler module settings date format was: d-m-Y H:i:s
I've just tested that with d/m/Y H:i:s and the story doesn't appear at all.

The site is configured as follows:-

Short date format: 05/03/2009 - 07:41
Medium date format: Thu, 05/03/2009 - 07:41
Long date format: Thursday, 5 March, 2009 - 07:41

The story should only be published immediately if the publish on time is in the past. Did you try it with values far in the future? There might be timezone issues if you only tried times like some minutes later for testing.
