NEW TOPIC Scheduler issue
Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2025 3:49 am
Hi mods,
I was extremely excited to see that we can now schedule posts. Thanks for adding this feature!
However, I noticed a minor issue. I had it set to post today's MOAT at exactly 4pm AEST. However, when I came in at 4:25pm after doing some shopping and wanted to see if it had worked, I refreshed the page... and discovered that it posted my post at 4:25pm. My guess is that no one was using the forum between 4pm and 4:25pm and so my page refresh "woke the server up" and it ran the scheduling job at that time.
Is that the expected behaviour? I guess it's not a major issue because it's not as though anyone was wanting to access my puzzle. And if anyone did want to see if the puzzle was there, their request would presumably initiate the scheduler.
It's just that I was hoping to rely quite heavily on the scheduler going forward, and I wanted to make sure it was working as expected.
Sincerely,
Ben.
