question about a plant

In June I planted "My Family Circus Vacation" (http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gBoxId=200663)
I started working on the clues near June 22nd or so but kept the box as unavailable until in July I had completed the clues.
When I made the box "available" I noticed that the box didn't show up on the "newest letterboxes" list. I assume this is because while the box had JUST become available I had started the plant log back near June 22. Is it possible to have the box re-listed as a newest letterbox now that it is available so those in the vicinity of the box will know there is a new (awesome) box near them??

Thanks,
Chaos

copy the clue, delete the letterbox, then relist it, using the paste function because you copied the clue.

I was trying to avoid that but I suppose that's the best option - its been done :) Thank you for the advice.

can't you just go to edit and change the plant date?

I've tried that in the past and it failed to show up as a new plant.

You should have listed it as a reserved box. As soon as you converted it into a traditional box, it would have shown up as a "newest" letterbox.

Be that as it may, your box already showed up as a new listing the day you listed your box. Just because it was unavailable didn't make it any less of a new listing. In theory, everyone would have already seen your listing--no reason to force them to see it again.

Thanks, Ryan. I wondered how to work on a clue without it being listed right away.
