Want To Know What's Happening?

Want to see if anyone is having a birthday? Want to know when the chats are held? Check out the Calendar function on the site!!!

I have had some folks telling me that they weren't aware there was a calendar and didn't know how to get to it. Well, it's really simple! Look on the brown toolbar that's visible in the Forums and in the Gallery. Almost in the middle - between Members List and New Posts - is the Calendar button. Press on it and voila! you are in the Calendar!

Now, once you get in the calendar - you can set some options. You can set the view to show Weekly, Monthly or Yearly views. The time zone shown in the calendar is usually set by the person entering the event, and using the EST is normally the preferred setting.

If you want to set a reminder for an event - click on the event. In the Upper Right Corner you will see "Request Reminder for this Event". When you click on that link, you will be able to choose how early before the event that the reminder will be sent to your e-mail address.

If you want to add an event - on the calendar page, down the page on the right you will see a menu box that says Add a New Event. You can choose a one time event, a recurring event or a ranged event.

Hope this was useful to those that haven't used our calenday before. Check it out!!!
