As most of you are aware (I hope), there is an events calendar on retro-rides.com. HoTWire is going to re-design it to make it a little easier to use!
What I'd like is some suggestions on how to make it more 'user friendly' for you guys. Anyone ever used it?
Currently anyone can suggest an event but it won't appear in the calendar until a moderator has approved it. I doubt this will change.
All entries are made on a daily basis - which is a real pain in the ar_se if an event is any longer than 2 days!
I think the easiest way to resolve this is to have a start and end date for the event (all the dates from start to end will display the same information).
I plan to update the calendar a month in advance (I did this for June and July but work has been a little harsh lately and I haven't had time to do August and September - this will change however in the future), but I'm having problems finding other events other than the ones you can find in mags / on-line. What I might do is create a 'sticky' thread where people can suggest calendar events, or maybe just a simple email / PM to me with suggestions and then I can add them to the calendar..........
So, can people come up with some good suggestions / resolutions - maybe all those web developers out there...........!?
Cheers
