Found out how to post messages in the past or the future… without them bubbling to the present…

http://www.livejournal.com/dev/applet/

allows for it by checking the backdate function, so *NO MORE POSTS* from my three month old written journals.

(I was posting them private, then unpravating after about 50 or so of my messages went by, to spare folks ‘flood from the past’.)

opt_backdated
New meta-data for posts: opt_backdated, a bool.

If set, post won’t show on friends views or your main page (not inserted into hints table). Also, if you set it when editing an old post (if you forgot to set it when posting originally), then it’ll delete the row from the hints table, so it’ll be removed from friends views (which is what the user would expect).

Client authors … want to add this? The full update web page has it.

(this has been a very commonly requested feature)
