Event Calendar

[JonM]

As part of the new thread option, I noticed that we can now create events that appear on the Calendar tab. To test this, I added the Click Clack Bloop game to The Expandables sub forum. It looks like it worked and the event is now showing on the calendar. This brings up some questions. If anyone can create an event, how will these be moderated? Should there be an accepted set of rules for formatting?

Good questions. Looks like we can moderate that area just like we would any other thread. I don't see an option to subscribe to it though so keeping track might be tough.

[JonM]

It looks like subscriptions are linked to the thread that created the event. I wonder if they could be color coded based upon region (North East, West Coast, Canada, etc.). Just thinking out loud here.

That's all a permissions thing. Right now I want it so only members can add/edit in the calendar. I'll have to revisit the permissions down the road as I've opened it up so anyone can do almost anything right now as we are getting the members back up to where they need to be and belong but I didn't want people suffering while they were waiting either.

Makes sense. Thanks!

I think if not a single member cares enough to add an event it doesn't need to be on the calendar.

Oooh, the calendar is nice! I won't have to curate that event map anymore i guess.
