Only Land Owners Or Land Deeded To Group Can Post For Events?...

I received an im not long ago being told that now only land owners can post events or the land thats deeded to group. WTH is going on and why didnt anyone tell us about this? i know many of us might help out in different places by hosting for friends and such and not everyone want to deed their land to group.....

manye private island owners or regular land, have their own hosts that do a certain # of events through out the day.. what if the owner is not on.. and its their land they dont have to deed it to group.. i dunno who comes up with these crazy ideas =[ but this sucks..

does anyone know whats going on at all that can fill me in coz im really not liking this idea at all ... and im sorry in advance if there was a posting and please do lead me to that one about these changes ... but if there wasnt any posting about it why DIDNT ANYONE WARN/TELL US?

Yep - this is apparently an issue. I'm hoping that this was a change that was put in early by mistake & incomplete.... but probably not.

There's also a thread going in the Land & Economy forum on this, and I posted to the hotline on it.

Observed Details:

-Once an event is posted, the time/date can no longer be changed, without retyping the event.

This is a problem because: For recurring events - the event could easily be "cut" and "pasted" into a new date by editing the event, and changing the date. This can no longer be done. For example, my game show is every Sun/Tues/Thurs.... after each show, I would go in and change the event date to the next day. Now the entire event must be retyped each time.

Potential Solution: Allow me to edit into the future, or give me a way to copy/paste events into future dates, or allow me to set 'recurrance' when I post the initial event.

-Coordinates can no longer be selected - you must select a location from a dropdown of fixed choices

Problem/Question: How is this list populated? What about my hosts? How can I assure that they will have my location in their list? (My land is not group owned).

The coordinates for my location don't appear to be my landing point, and the name appears to have been manually typed in. Where was this generated from, and what if I'd like my permanant coordinates to be slightly different (closer to the door, for example)?

Potential Solution: Tie the coordinates to the landing point, or allow me to contact support to have them changed.

-Event location will only show up for the land owner, or deeded land group.

Problem: My land is soley owned by me - I have no deeded land group. I have many volunteers who need to post events at my location, and now cannot. Folks with deeded land may use a different group for event hosts.

Potential Solution: Create a seperate land permissions tab for 'authorized hosts', or create a section on the secondlife.com page where landowners can specify authorized hosts allowed to use the event webform.
