We now have an interactive event calendar. Just set up your event in the calendar and members can add their name or remove it from the attendance list with the simple click of a link. Now organising and participating in Jumpgate events is easier that ever.

If your on the front page just scroll down to the calendar block and click on the 30th of October. If you're in the forums just click on the calendar button up top and choose the Jumpgate calendar and proceed to the same date.

Go ahead, give it a try.

So is it really that hard for anyone to help me test this?

lol, i didn't know what the thanks button did, hehe. Anyways, I have attempted to help you with your test.

That has nothing to do with the test. The test is in the calendar.

Coolness

I'm thinking, tho, that displaying the birthdays might clog things up. I noticed that there is a very cool, uber-ish sounding event on the 24th of October, but it's pretty easy to miss what with the crowded calendar.

Even more concerning, is what would happen if another nifty event (even though it certainly couldn't be any cooler than the afore mentioned event, of course) were to come up on the 24th of this rather chilly yet still interesting month?

On the other hand, seeing the birthdays on the calendar certainly keeps it looking busy, and blank calendars are rather dull.

Maybe there could be a notation on days in which there are news events, too.

Yup. First I poked around the default calendar for awhile trying to find an event on the 30th. Then I found the "calendar jump" way at the bottom and when I went it loaded up November, so I had to set that to October to see what you were talking about. Tim also makes a valid point. What if the default calendar was the birthday calendar (though that would make the Jumpgate calendar prone to be the afore-mentioned dull blank calendar).

[Tim]

How about if the current day for the calendar (including the fancy events of the day) were displayed on the front page? Also, maybe another calendar could be the "news" calendar, on which all front-page threads and/or News threads were highlighted. Then perhaps a person could have an Uber Calendar that would display all three: events, birthdays, and news.

also, could we make it so that one can give a reason for thanking somebody? LIke, a few words about why a person is so wonderful that they deserve the grace of my thankyou?

OK, Mr. Impatient! . . . ja-heeeez.



P.S. When are you fixing the theme to make it GREEEEEEEN?

[Jump]

I give up.

[Antikas]

Oops, didnt mean to thank your giving up post. Lemme try again

[Jump]

Ok, my last try at this kiddies. As stated in the original post.

1. Just scroll down to the little bitty calender side block on the right side of the front page.

2. See how the 30th is highlighted? Click on it.

3. See how it shows the calendar events for that day?

4. See how I set up a ficticious event for testing?

5. See how It has a little link in brakets that says "I will be attending blah bla"?

6. Click it.

7. See how your name is now added to the list of attendees?

The events will eventually be displayed on the front page so the suggestions above are irrelevant.

Note: The 30th isn't particularly highlighted if you're at the regular home, and it will take you to the default calendar. If you are on the Jumpgate home, it works as jump instructed.

On the main home, replace step 2 with 'Click October 2005'.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the default calendar, and look for the Calendar Jump pull down box.

4. Pull down the calendar pull down and select Jumpgate.

5. Scroll to the bottom of the Jumpgate calendar, and notice the previous month (october) has the 30th highlighted. Click on that.

6. Continue with Jump's step 3.
