David Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I've re-added the calendar after a few people requested it. I initially thought that it was a useless application that no one ever used, and since space on the nav bar is at a premium I just turned it off. Anyways, it's back now that I've discovered that it's extremely simple to just turn the "Hide from Nav Bar" option on. You guys are making a fantastic effort at increasing activity and event turnouts, so I'm confident you'll put it to good use. This calendar is a bit more advanced than others we've used in the past. You should have the ability to...[*]RSVP to events.[*]Comment on calendar events (this should not replace the normal threads)[*]Rate events.Since the link is no longer on the nav bar, you can view it by visiting it here or by clicking on the sub-forum in Community Events (it also displays on the index).There's also a hook on the side-bar of the index that will provide a feed of Upcoming Events, similar to the "Recent Topics" area. This probably renders the manually-updated Calendar area of the header more trouble than it's worth. Fergal, you should probably turn it into a few quick bullets on why/how to join.

Jamie Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thank you David, I'm glad you added this back, and it makes it easy to keep up with what events I got set when, without having to go back and look for the thread. I'll make sure it's put to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Can we take off the part where you have to wait for permission before the event to be added to the calendar? I think I'll be the only person really using it, or prob even looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 YAY! Keep it flowing jamie I'll come to what events I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergal Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Alright, updated the header with the links and in general. Are we going to manually update the "Events" section of the header with upcoming events or what? That takes a lot of effort. Lol.Good to have it back.

David Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I mentioned it in the OP. I'd turn that area into either 1) a permanent pitch for joining with step instructions or 2) just move achievements of the week to that side and actually keep up with it.

David Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 More of a fancy "Why you should join" with a link to the instructions than anything. Of course AotW would be easy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Since I've realized how horribly annoying it is not to have it on every page in the nav bar, I've also added a link to it under the "More" drop-down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
