 * I just did an install on my test site [http://www.antaresfleetyards.co.uk](http://www.antaresfleetyards.co.uk)
   and there is a problem when refreshing. The Hello World post randomly appears
   and dissapears when the page is refreshed. It can take many refeshes for it to
   show again.
    Is it just me or is this a common problem?

 * That is, needless to say, really bizzare. I’m going to search throuh the code
   to see if anything looks to be the cause, but I’m guessing that it’s most likely
   something with your setup, so some details regarding that would be helpful.

 * I’m not sure quite what details your after but I have two sites hosted with 34sp.
   com. Each site is on a different server. I have b2 running without problems on
   one. WordPress on the other.
    Both servers are running FreeBSD 4.4 i think. PHP
   4.2.2, MySQL 3.23.55 and Apache 1.3.27. If you need something more specific you
   have only to ask.

 * Right I think I have solved it. The time stamp on the Hello World post was set
   in the future. Changing this to the past seems to resolve the issue.
    But if 
   it appears with a future time on some occasions this still must be a bug somewhere.
   Will you be able to post with a future time and have it appear only after that
   time has elapsed?

 * Being able to post in the future is actually a “feature,” though it could be 
   developed more fully. (With pinging and such.) Are you still having trouble with
   posts going in to the future?

 * I’m not having trouble with the posts going into the future. The Hello World 
   example was generated with a future time stamp during the install.
    If this is
   a feature it seems something is wrong to cause the future posts to suddenly appear
   during refreshes. I have not had the time to do futhur testing. I will attempt
   to do so though.
