Hi,

I've come across a small problem with 1.6.0. I've tried searching and could not find this specific issue, so I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else already.

I had scheduled a couple photos to be displayed a few days in the future when I knew I couldn't post, but when I viewed the main page, it was displaying the future pics. I went to the browse page, and that worked correctly displaying the correct images.

Has anyone else come across this issue? Thanks.

This is as designed. When you are logged in as admin, you can see one of the photos posted at a later date. I'm not sure how PP decides which one to show you, but only you can see these. If you go to your admin page and logout, or open a different browser without logging in to admin, you won't see the future posts.

Ah! That actually makes sense now that it's explained. Thanks!

Hmm interesting, I'll be using the schedule feature soon so this is good to know.

Out of curiosity, whats the reasoning behind showing the admin a picture lined up to be posted automatically?

Just a guess, but I would imagine so you could preview the posts before it's available to the general public.

Oh and in playing around on my site I found out that using the next image link I can actually browse all of my photos in the order they're set to be posted. So all of them can be previewed by the site admin. If you're using the <IMAGE_THUMBNAIL_ROW> tag, then only one "hidden" image is displayed, and I have yet to determine what criteria is being used to select which image gets shown.
