As it stands I have set up the HON Terminal for LH F departures and HON members.

Hi folks,
A quick update for you. There are now 107 FlyerTalkers registered to use the calendar and a total of approximately 1800 sectors in there. Nice work!
I'm going to spend a little time doing a post-reply FAQ thing, I think, as I can see questions being asked on this thread turning into the "so can I get a Libyan visa?" sort...

Only just noticed this thread now. Thanks again to BA97.com, I've registered as well. Noticed that you don't have pictures of the Eurostar cards so here you go:

Also finding this tool to be excellent and have submitted a few ideas via e-mail too...but here's another one: how about a 'Sectors by year' on the profile screen? By default it could show all sectors + miles ever flown (as now) but with a drop down box of the relevant years? This would be an easy way for people to then get a summary of the sectors/miles for each year too?

Who do I contact about a forgotten password to get it reset?
Sorry!

Nice to see...
Nice to see we're avoiding threads like this!
I'm planning on putting a password reset option in (as a few of you have been in touch with forgotten passwords) as well as changing the calendar view a bit. As there's so many slots in there now it can get a little congested. What i'd thought is some filter buttons to restrict display to ex-Europe, ex-North America, etc.... Sound like a plan?
I might then even encourage our OW coleAAgues to come try the calendar out, perhaps with a little aa.com-type stylesheet manipulation to make them feel at home

A filter to show only ex-LHR/LGW would be the best option as that's where people are most likely to be able to meet up on BA.

How about auto-highlighting of any entry in the calendar which is within 2 hours of the viewer's departures from the same airport?
Did that make sense?
E.g. if I am leaving LHR-T4 at 0800 one day, then having all other departures from LHR-T4 within +/- 2 hours on that same day highlighted somehow.

Big thanks for the date filtering - an excellent addition ^^ Just one minor request (there's always one...) can it total up the sectors per year/period as well as the miles at the bottom? I know I can count them individually line by line, but that gets a bit unwieldy on some profiles (like yours this year alone, ba97.com 
).
Thanks again for this excellent resource!

Excellent improvements. The year filter on own flights makes tallying up total for the year a cinch. That feature alone will save me a lot of time.
Also the calendar by origin declutters nicely. Is there a list somewhere we can see what countries/airports are included in which region?

In no position to implement it now, as i'm coming live to you from The Wing somewhat overpowered by Cathay's Pacific-whatever cocktails, the fact that a "Cabana" seems to be substantially larger than my house, and the all-you-can-eat smoked salmon buffet
Despite the look of horror on my face my onward journey is on an A340 with "New Business Class", I just hope I haven't eaten so much salmon that I can't take advantage of the service. My creaking belt ("don't move to notch two or it's all over!") suggests otherwise...
