Or, if it's within a reasonable window, if it detects the ad post as being 1 second to 2 hours premature, they can DELAY the post until the clock expires. "Submitted but pending" until the 7 day, 0 hour, 0 second clock runs out and the ad is automatically released to the ad board.

(Is 2 hours enough slack? 4 hours? I don't think a 'submitted but pending' queue should be unlimited.)

I'm a regular Phoenix regional ad poster, and I know there is a 7-day posting rule for new ads. Since the new site has gone live, I've noticed that it holds you to the EXACT minute to post a new ad! I am usually very organized, and I want to post regularly. I'd like to ask that TER admin reconsider the EXACT TO-THE-SECOND- posting rule and give us some latitude to post an ad on a given day. I want to post on the same day (Tuesday), and if I try to post it on the 7th day, but BEFORE the time I did it the week prior, it kicks back an error message.

I realize there are rules, and I'm all for playing by them, but to have to set my alarm to post an ad at the exact time each week is a little burdensome. If I wait, then it's just that much later the next week, then the next week, then the next week and them I'm posting the next day, the next day, the next day. I want to advertise on Tuesdays, NOT Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or God forbid, get out of the game for an entire week so I can post on Tuesdays again.

My IRL gig is advertising, and I try to live by the advice I preach and that is to advertise frequently and consistently. Please TER admin, give us a window, at least, to give us some flexibility in our day to post an ad.
