An Alfa for your time. This is because every time someone says reliable I think Alfa.Yeah, I know they are unreliable.

I've started using them for the CarDomaining posts I post on Tuesdays.

Twice now, I have put the post together several days in advance, and forget about it. Then, shortly before lunch on Tuesday, out of nowhere, I start getting replies and say to myself, "Huh, guess it worked!"

I have luck with them only when set a few hours ahead (or maybe I wrote the post at midnight and set to post for about 9 am)... I tried a few days before but it failed me so try and keep it a few hours, not days

You know, uh? Is it from your personal experience?

Yeah, it would be about 10 hours in advance. Thanks.

I would say just in general. It's also set to be U.S. EST time zone, which is where I live so if timing was your problem it should be fine for me.

I've never had a problem. I use them for my longer posts when I want to post at a time with more eyeballs. I have one coming today.

Cool! Yeah, this would be for Sonett Saturday so it's just 3 pictures basically. Thanks.

Should be fine then... I haven't had it go wrong yet (damn, I'm starting to sound like an Alfa owner now)

An Alfa owner and someone who posts on kinja are two very similar people.

Hoping it'll work, just this time .

Oh, my note was about you saying that Alfas are unreliable!

I once scheduled daily wallpapers for everyday for a week, because I was away, and every post made it.

Oh, I see. Being that I'm not old enough to drive... well... ummm... no. I just based it on going to car shows my whole life and seeing mysterious liquids under Alfa's and other Italian cars. Otherwise its also based on being an enthusiast so reading websites like this and automotive stereotypes. Your right though, I shouldn't make false assumtions, and newer Alfas (like the one pictured) are probably pretty reliable. Also, while the Alfa is running it's owner is having the most fun on the roads!

All of my posts are scheduled, even though I only schedule them maybe half an hour to three hours in the future, because OCD and nice round numbers.
