Hi Freddy,
Interval posting feature is great, but I would like to ask if there is a possibility to implemet another function to that.
My routine day for 3 years is to start posting around 7-7:30 am and my normal amount of daily posts is 15.
Let's say we have 150 post in my posts list, which I am going to publish in next 10 days. If I try to mark them all and set daily dose of posts to 15, then all that posts will be spread to 24h (including hours outside my normal working hours like 1:00 am).

So if we have those 150 posts in list I would like to schedule them once, to be spread like I would do that manually.

Currently I'm just marking 15 posts, then click Schedule selected, then set interval posting for certain day, certain our, set interval in minutes + rng interval in seconds.

Currenly it looks like that:
Interval in minutes: 45
random number of seconds: 600-1200
Time for first post: certain day + somewhere between 7 am and 8 am

After succesfully adding posts to queue, I'm marking next 15 posts and I'm doing the same with adding +1 day and +1,10 min.

for 150 posts it not seems to be a problem, but making a queue for 510 is much harder.

To the point:
My idea is to mark all posts that should by queued and be able to add 15 posts daily, with interval 45min, random seconds 600-1200 and I wanted to start everyday at random time between, let's say, 7am and 8 am.

So the only difference between current feature is to add random start time between two times and make interval posting to add posts daily, using this settings.

I hope I decsribed it cleary. Do you think that's possible?

Will review this a bit later.

* Added option in "interval posting" window: "Add random number of minutes to start time".

Hi,

I know there are a lot of options already for interval postin but I am missing a specific option - if it would be possible at all.

If I have 10 posts I want to post to FORUM A - I would like to set the time interval of the day when these should be posted - i.e between 13:00 - 17:30 and then let TP completely randomly post these 10 posts inside this interval.

This could end up with 3 posts from 13:00 - 13:30 and then maybe 7 posts from 16:00 - 17:00 - completely random.

I agree. I'm trying to pretend that I'm posting in my routine hours.

So it would be nice to have:
- Start time
- end time
- number of posts to post in that brackets

Of course other settings may stay as now (random minutes to start time, random seconds before next post)

Example:
Start time: 05:30
End time: 20:30
Amount of posts: 15

Then if I'm scheduling 15 or less post they could be set randomly between time brackets.
But if I'm scheduling for example 150 posts at once, after posting first 15 posts within starting date, TP should take the next 15 posts from the list and put them in the same time frame on the following day until the last post from the list of 150 I marked.

Hi Freddy,
First, thank you for introducing that function.

After a few weeks of testing I think it needs to be tweaked a little bit.

Now it seems that the most important setting for Interval posting is Intwrval in minutes + Add random number of seconds for each post.

So in summary I can choose to post let's say 10 posts per day but after adding random seconds it happens that only 8 or 9 posts daily are added to schedule.

IMHO when I activate the option "Schedule between times only" alle the settings besides "Posts per day" should be ignored and TP should just post 10 (as in example above) posts with random delay between them. Just to first and last post to be as close to the brackets as possible.

I'm assuming that it is possible that there is a delay between some posts like 15-30 minutes and in other cases 1-2 hours. It should be as random as possible - as in real life.

The only option that could be considered is Add random number of minutes to start time, to not start everyday at the exactly the same time.

Please, consider this feedback.

* Added option in schedule interval posting window when "Schedule between times only" is enabled to "Use random interval for each day to fit between times".

Some notes:

* Posts per day must be entered to needed value how many you would like to post between the times. They are used to calculate random times (a lot of forums have limits, can't just ignore posts per day).

* Don't ever set "End time" to midnight (00:00). Set it at 23:00 latest to be safe or at least at 23:30 to fit on the same day.

* Don't set "random seconds maximum" to larger number (the intervals will be already random). Setting it too high might cause issues.
