I posted the good news about Kaos last night, but I think it wound up so far back on most people's f-lists that nobody saw it. Short story... Kaos got adopted! Woohoo! Details in previous posting. :-)
But that brings me to the LJ oddity... I originally wrote the Kaos post yesterday afternoon from work. Then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nycgadgetgirl, who was really the person responsible for the whole Kaos saga, mentioned that she really wanted to announce it first in her blog, so I marked my post as private and planned to release it later. When Jenna told me that she'd posted her announcement, I went in and set mine back to public and changed the time to the current time.
What I didn't realize was that it changed the "visible" time of posting, but there's some underlying bit that kept it in people's f-lists at the original posting time, so it was showing up as if it had been posted at 3:30 instead of at 9:30. So my question now is this... do any of you LJ long-timers know if there's a way to change that behavior? Or is that hardwired for some odd reason? I guess the better option (had I known this at the time) would have been to simply copy the first post, delete it, and repost publicly at the later time so that the post would sort correctly in lists. Seems to make the ability to change the posting time kind of pointless, though, or am I misunderstanding how that would work (or why you would use it)?
