Type: Enhancement

Priority: P2

Current state: Members cannot draft a post and schedule it for future publication.

Proposed improvement: Add a "Schedule" option to the post composer with date/time picker. Scheduled posts appear in a queue visible to the author and admins. Auto-published via cron at the scheduled time.

Competitive context: Facebook Groups and Discourse both ship this. Creators managing content calendars need it.

Resolved. Scheduled posts are now available to all users, not just moderators. When creating a new thread, expand "More options" and use the Schedule date/time picker to set a future publish time. The thread stays hidden until the cron publishes it at the scheduled time. A new "Scheduled" page at /account/scheduled shows your pending posts with a "Publish now" button to skip the wait. Linked from the user dropdown next to Drafts.
