The Calendar

**RockyR** · 24th February 07, 01:19 PM

Holy fast SERVICE Batman! That looks GREAT and is exactly what I was thinking about. Thanks for being so attentive to our suggestions and needs. Maybe now we can easily start using the calendar!

Can I make another suggestion? Put a STICKY in the Highland Games category and the Kilt Night category giving suggestions HOW to post on the calendar to give it an EASY (at a glance) & UNIFORM appeal... Sticky i.e.:

When you would like to make note of an event, please follow this general setup:

Title: CITY WHERE IT'S HELD / Name of event
i.e. Philadelphia PA Area Kilt Night at Brittinghams
i.e. Bethlehem PA Celtic Classic Festival
i.e. San Diego CA Kilt Night at McKeown's Pub

The BODY of the message should answer the following questions:

Who, What, When, Where, How

Example:
Who: Kilt wearers and friends in the Philadelphia Area... The band playing is the "Shaun Flemming Band"
What: Kilt Night at Brittinghams Irish Pub
When: 9 PM Friday Night, February 23rd
Where: Brittinghams Pub. 1234 Germantown Pike, Lafayette Hill, PA 11111
How (Much): $5 Cover

General Notes: If you'd like to eat dinner, call them at 610.555.5555 to make reservations. Show starts at 9 PM. RSVP by XXXX date if you want to meet up before hand. PM RockyR for more info.

This may help people not have to sift through each post to find things in their area (if the title is clear).

Thoughts about the post counter...

While I agree that it is stupid to pad your posts to win some imaginary undetermined prize, it is useful to see who contributes and to what extent...

I like to know how active the person is who is giving me their thoughts and / or advice. If John Doe is professing to be an expert and offers his opinion on everything but only has 3 or 4 posts under his belt, those comments might not weigh as heavily as someone like Graham or Hamish with thousands of posts telling me their opinions. Just my $.02.

Couldn't agree more! Personally, I don't bother looking at it.

To be blunt... I find it a bit childish.

If the calendar became a useful information resource, it would be great!

Boy are we a needy bunch, but I agreed with everything. I often got tired of looking through a page of b-days to find events.

That's also the whole point of why I started this thread... the calendar was useless as a tool to get people together with b-days clogging it up. Now that it's freed up, maybe people will start posting events and making it useful!
