BRAVO!

Prok disagrees. The events calendar is the last bastion of the free market in SL, you know . . .

I am a dork, I have no idea how to make a clickable link in forums.

I thought it note worthy anyway.

Use

BTW, I'll second your Yeeeeeeeeeee-hhhawwwwwwwwwwwwww.

While I am all for it, I have to subscribe to Massively's rather dry headline about this: "Linden Lab to crack down on events listing spam. Again"

I really do hope they mean it this time. I've entirely given up on using the events calendar, which is really a shame.

I posted before that instead of sending out the secret police to squash their customers - they need to re-tool that 'event calendar' they made in 2002 and have it function in a useful manner.

We need to be able to send event information to our friend's list and groups through the calendar. Also have a picture gallery as part of our event listings to show off the venue and FIX THE 404 ERROR MESSAGE.

Also When I choose to bookmark an event it should show up in a MY EVENTS tab on my profile.

Help out the clubs that create the gathering places for the SL noobs - make it so people can buy tickets to events through the event pages. This can be a premium service that the venues can subscribe to - Second Life Box Office.

Create event pages for the yard sales and the store sales - don't just set out to punish them for their activities.

Better handling of events and calendars is actually one thing I hope can be the not-too-distant spin-off from the Avatars United thing, and M sort of hinted at something like it with his "imagine that while this is resident on the web it is very easily accessible in a comfortable way from the viewer. Could go a long way towards fixing group communications in the viewer, right?"
-Though with AU not having anything like that currently, I'm not too optimistic, and I do worry about how well they'll actually end up integrating back into SL. It makes no sense if I can't get calendar notifications inworld, for example.

If I use [img]tags the text between disappears on my home PC, but I see it on my work PC. Anyone know why this is?

Different browsers?

because the url doesn't fit the definition of and image file address (from the forum software/browser's perspective)... if the url doesn't already include a ? then add one and it'll come out fine, unless the address is a sub.sub.domain.tli in which case you're hosed. (note that top level domains (those with no subfolders) should have a / after the domain name, before you tack on a ? )
