96RAF Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) The sharp eyed amongst you will have seen a new feature added to the menu bar and the +Create drop down - i.e. Events. These allow anyone to post a calendar event such as a local or national show, or some other associated event. You can also create a gallery album and tag those pictures to the event - e.g. a poster for the event, promotional images, etc. The calendar can be filtered for any or all brands, so you can see what is going on in other modelling areas that may be of interest. Each calendar can be viewed by day-week-month-year and any event expanded from there, very similar to the calendar on your PC, phone or tablet. I would ask for common sense to be applied to the Event postings as we do not want everyone to flag up their birthday or next visit to the dentist, etc. Any inappropriate posts will be removed. Edit - when posting an event please ensure you select the correct calendar for it else it gets posted in the wrong brand and become invisible to your intended brand viewers. Edited August 15 by 96RAF Added caution to post in the correct calendar 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What About The Bee Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) @Peachy On your cellphone, it is under the + symbol at the top. Same place as add new topic or image. Bee Edited August 15 by What About The Bee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What About The Bee Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Where would I see Peachy's, or indeed anyone else's, event? I understand how to make one. Under strict moderator warning, I will not make one for my "Its Friday, wear a potatoe on your neck event". 🙃 Perhaps someone more bold than I will make an event so we can see how it works?

ntpntpntp Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) @What About The Bee well there are some there to see already, and I just added the N gauge show in September 🙂 Edited August 15 by ntpntpntp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What About The Bee Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Thank you yes. I have been fiddling around with the system. I can see a calendar at https://community.hornbyhobbies.com/events but hilariously, no way to get there from here https://community.hornbyhobbies.com I am using mobile, not PC. It should be a selection from that page, but I simply cannot find it (under the assumption it is there) Bee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntpntpntp Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Use a proper computer! I can't be doing with these smart phone things, they're for talking to people or maybe sending a message 🙂 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue has been raised with Hornby Towers. We await feedback. R- 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I’ve set it as a Pocher event by mistake, but can’t edit it. tbh… life’s way too short to do this sort of stuff.. that will likely be my last event post Edited August 15 by Peachy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for correcting, you need to write to the administrator. I also miss the delete-button in the forum. Regards, Ilmson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already noted, and passed to higher authority. Confusingly it looks like there is a glitch as event dates are correct within post, just not calendar.
