Delay a comment?

Is it possible to delay a comment? Just like how you can delay the publish date of a story? What I am wanting to do is have a riddle a day, and a day later the answer would show up under the comments section. What code would I need to change or add? If possible I would only want this for someone with admin rights...

You can just set the date at the top of the message when you are writing to the future. Only admin can do this.

He wants to delay a comment, not a story. And this is currently not possible in Geeklog. While it is a neat idea, it would be a lot of work to implement. Apart from easy changes like extending the comment submission form so that you can set a date and time for the comment, you would also have to change comments.php as well as search.php(!) so that the comment does not show up in a search before it's release. bye, Dirk
