So, I have been having issues with squarespace.
I like to work in batches, so I prepare a bunch of article for the greenhouses.net blog and then schedule them to post later. If I am really motivated I try and get a few months ahead.
But, their timed post feature has not been working - for the previous few months I have had to go back and manually change posts from drafts to publish.
I explained all this via many emails with support stressing that I was not upset about past issues but that I wanted the posts that I had just got in the system this week to work correctly when their time came. I stressed that I had a few months of posts already waiting in the system that they could check over and verify that I had all the settings correct. And let me know if I was setting things up incorrectly.
I recieved this
Sorry for any confusions -- It looks like you've set the dates for these incorrectly
with this photos pointing out my mistake - I don't know where to go to even try and explain what exactly the "confusions" is

if anyone is interested here is the solution
don't bother with setting the post date, under scheduling click on the word NONE and chose the post date there instead
