Here is how you can create a calendar event for your DCG meeting, Virtual Con, Contest deadline, or whatever that people can view on the Calendar
- Create a New Topic - You can only create a calendar entry when creating a new topic.
- In you new thread's initial post select the "Calendar" icon - It is in the upper left next to the Camera, Link, and Poll buttons.
- Before the Subject line is an Event Highlight pull-down. Select the item that best matches your entry.
- Whatever you put in the Subject Line is what the title of you calendar entry will be. The shorter the better.
- In the body of your message I suggest including a picture and the details of your entry. When people select your calendar entry they will be take to this post.
- Enter the Date of your event. At the bottom you can select all day event or a start and stop time.
- Enter the "Location" of your event. This can be a URL, address, or whatever. It displays under the date and time of your entry.
- (Optional) Add Tags to your entry to help people searching.
NOTE: Because you can only create a calendar entry when starting a new topic I created this sub-forum to help group the posts together. If you are posting 20 different events back to back it won't clutter other forum areas.
