the 'back in time' functionality can be found on the 5uper.net
site ( http://
5uper.net ) there are 3 different kinds of entries: dates, projects
and news. if
you click on a calendar date, only dates from the clicked date
backwards are
shown. if i click on feb. 2nd, only post dates before january
the 2nd are shown
(and actually posts from the same day) - making it kind of 'back
in time'. the site
content looks as it was back then.

Can you link me to an example of the 'back in time' functionality
you describe?

published 'in the future.': yeah, this would make sense. at
our site http://5uper.net we are using thast feature. not
only to post in advance (which lots of people are doing by
the way) - but also to "go back in time" by clicking
on the
calendar. just posts from the selected day/month backwards
are shown.

so yes, that would be a very handy feature.

It'd be interesting to use this alongside some time of day
dropdowns.

The real question is, would anyone use it?  I almost never change
my dates.  Do you see people doing it often?

Right now ozimodo does not care if a post is published 'in the
future.'  It will still show it.  Maybe it should only show posts
with a created_at date in the past, giving the date field more
power.  But I'm still not convinced anyone would use it.   Would
you?
