A dirty little secret: i never really thought in the first place. I'm fine with a change in thsi area. It was our hope orginally to have open calendars for use by members since i personaly love the visualization of meetings rather than multiple threads.
I think it got tabled with some of the server performance issues we experienced at first and frankly I forgot. Members are fortunate that you and Sweet Willie and cawhite60152 have shadowed my recent time on FT to remind me of this unfinished benefit for members. While Dan is on vacation for a few weeks, I think he left the keys to the tool shed in the usual hiding place and let me see if i can poke around a little to get the calendar function started. But beware, i see all these cool buttons and switches and things and i just want to start pulling the levers. I'm the goofball who engaged the 'member referral' system without even knowing how it worked. It might be reasonable to expect that i need my own personal moderator....
Thanks for the question and the follow-up.
Cheers,
Randy
