Well I'm trying to get this trickle thing working before I head out on vacation, but it appears there's a PEBKAC problem...
I've followed the instructions the best I can, but I'm not seeing any automatic posting.
I've tried naming the category deferred with a capital D and a lower case d. I've tried creating posts that have a future time and waited for that time to happen. I've tried making posts with timestamps in the past. I've tried adding and removing the deferred category. I've tried only putting times with 0 seconds. I've left deferred category posts in place for over 24 hours. No matter what I do, it doesn't seem to be picking up those posts. I've tried new posts, and I've tried deferring older posts.
Anyone out there using trickle have any idea of what else I can try to get these working?
For the record, I write a post, click save with a Post Status of Draft. Then I add a category of deferred, click save, then close. Then I head to the bottom of the post screen and change the timestamp. Save once again. Then...nothing?

Posted by Madfish Willie at June 15, 2005 10:56 PMThanks, Willie, I tried that, but the post just appeared right away as soon as I saved it with the Publish status.
Posted by Ogre at June 15, 2005 11:02 PMI use it with great success...my only suggestion would be to set the "correct" time, and then add the deferred category...that's the order I use.
Posted by Jennifer at June 16, 2005 01:51 AMUh, oops. It might work a bit better now.
One thing to note: For each blog, Trickle only checks once an hour for deferred posts, and the blogs are spaced a minute apart. Yours will actually run at 17 minutes past the hour.
Posted by Pixy Misa at June 16, 2005 03:08 AMHey Pixy! Did I ever get trickle turned on? I cannot seem to get it work on my site, although it works fine when I sub for the Bartender. Same deferred category and all, so it appears that my method is correct. I may not be quite mad enough, though.
