Hi Alex. We're intentionally setting the post date to a future date.  
These event entries are for monthly meeting topics and are entered  
long before the actual event dates but shouldn't appear as posts on  
the main page until a few days before the actual meeting date. They  
still have to be displayable to anonymous users when they click on a  
link in the sidebar future meeting topics list. Without the Wordpress  
hack/patch they'll get the "no such post" message again instead.

Is there a way to recover the old hack/patch behavior with EC 3 with  
your new database scheme? Or better yet is there a way to get the  
above behavior without resorting to a patch, a method to enter the  
events without a future post date yet still have them not appear on  
the main page until a specific date or a certain number of days  
before the event date?

Thanks,
