Publish Content don't change the Submitted Date and it should. If I write a story today and I save it, tomorrow I edit that story and I publish it, the submited date is not changed to current time of publishing.
So it's possible to implement this? or at least a hack ? please.
thanks.

Hi,
publishing should not change the submitted date i.e. the created date.

but attached is a patch implementing a little hack to do so.

Publishing content shouldn't change the node creation date, but it does change the node modification date.

So as an alternative to patching code, you could use the submitted by module, and use the [mod-????] tokens to display the modification date rather than the creation date.

e.g.:

Submitted by [author-name-raw] on [mod-day] [mod-d] [mod-month] [mod-yyyy]
