Re: [O] Org-mode repeating tasks issue
Thanks for the responses. After fiddling around a bunch and not getting it to work, I just recreated my .emacs.d folder (and config) and it seems to work now. Must have been some corruption, but can't figure out what.

If the functionality of org-habit /does/ do what you want, perhaps you could switch to that? If you use this syntax widely, that could be a pain. Let me know what you think? Also, please point to the documentation illustrating the +1m -7d usage. I'd like to see it as well as I'm curious about the various time stamp options.

DEADLINE: 2012-05-15 Tue +1m -7d This just adds a monthly repeater to the syntax and is perfectly legal syntax AFAIK. This entry repeats normally for me.
