How to use Event Calendar

How to add and read events in Event Calendar (return)

If you have an event you would like to publicize, you can post the event in either the Discussion forums (we have event forums to discuss local and major National Events), or you can add the event to the British Car Forum "Event Calendar." Or you can do both (recommended). When you hover your mouse over the Events button, as shown below, the first two choices will take you to the Event discussion forums. But if you want to view the Event Calendar, select the third option, "View Event Calendar." Step 1 Step 2 When you click on "View Event Calendar", you will see the current month as shown, Dates that have events will be in light blue, while dates with no events will be a darker shade of blue, as seen below. Step 3 If you scroll down to the bottom of the calendar, you can see the details of all events for the current day. If you click on a date in the calendar, the events for that day will be displayed. Step 4 To add an event, you can either click the "Add an Event Link" that apperas just above the detailed descriptions (see picture above), or you can select the "Add Calendar Event" option from the Events drop-down menu, as seen below: Step 5 When you select "Add Event" you will see a screen that looks like this (below). Select the Event Date from the selection boxes. If your event is multiple days, simply cut and past your description and repeat these steps to add it to all the applicable dates. In the location field DO NOT put the title of the event...enter only the location (Town, State). Then, enter a description of the event. You can add "clickable" links to other web sites or email addresses by using UBB code. For example: Here's how you would add a clickable web site link: [url]http://www.yoursite.com[/url] (note: You must include the entire URL, including the http:// ) Here's how to add a clickable email address: [email]you@youraddress.com[/email] Note that for a URL, use the [url] and [/url] UBB tags on either side of the URL, with no spaces for an email address, use the [email] and [/email] UBB tags. Finally, click the submit button to add your event. That's It (Return)
