Calendar

[David]

You will see a 'Calendar' link near the top of the forums.

Members can add upcoming events that might interest the community. You can also sign up to get email alerts about upcoming events.

How do I add an event to the Calendar?

If you have the appropriate permissions, there will be a box on the Calendar labeled 'Add New Event'. There are three types of event that can be added to a calendar:

• Single, All Day Event - an event that takes place for the whole of a day.
• Ranged Event - events that have a defined start time and end time, not necessarily both on the same day.
• Recurring Event - repeat over a set period of time based on certain criteria. Examples would be an event that occurs on the first Monday of every month and an event that occurs every Monday and Wednesday.

Just choose the appropriate option for the event you are adding, fill in the required information, then save the event. It will now appear on the Calendar.

Where do birthdays show?

Your birthday will automatically be shown on the calendar if you have entered the date of your birthday in your profile. If you do not enter the year of your birth when you edit your profile, your age will not be shown on the calendar.

If you enter your birthday, your name will also appear on the main forum page besides the calendar entry when it is your birthday. However, this is only applicable to active members. Non-active members will not have their names apprearing on the main forum page.
