I have no idea. Just saying it worked for me. I am using IE currently.

Unless it is already in there somewhere and I'm missing it, it would nice if the events section had a link to get back to the forums.

Yeah a nav menu is high priority. Just haven't gotten to it yet.

I have discovered I get different RSVP lists for my event if I click on it from the calendar versus clicking on it from My RSVPs area.

Gary I think if you unregister for your event, then you should be able to re-register for just one day. I had to do this for myself with Gencon 07.

This whole area of the site is a high priority for me, but so are other things in my life.

I'm still having no luck with the registration. I've used IE and Mozilla and every time I hit the add event button I get this message: DB Error: syntax error

Agent Minivann posted that he was getting the same db error ...

... turned out that his description was too long. "caveman" it up.

brevity is the soul of wit … or some **** like that

Syntax errors mean you either typed an apostrophe or a quote or perhaps some other non alphanumeric character. I don't think it has anything to do with length, when you shortened it you probably took out an apostrophe or quote too. If this doesn't work. take out everything that isn't a letter or number and try again, it should go through.

I am not sure if there is anything I can do about this syntax error, but at the very least I want to make a Help doc that lists stuff like this.

THANKS! Clearing out the punctuation made it work fine.

gave it another try but it behaves the same way. i think the problem is i'm expecting it to behave in a different and more logical way than it does. plus i still get that bogus date of 4/30/07 in the MyRSVPs view.

when i click on "Current Month" view, i see all the occurrences for "Chicagoland Heroscaping". so you would think that if i clicked on the one scheduled for say 12/02, the popup window that shows details would show a date of 12/02. but it doesn't. it just shows the same "start date" of 11/18 for the first occurrence of the series of events and who is attending ANY occurrence, no matter which occurrence i click on. it would be better, i think, if the "details" window showed the date of the occurrence that was selected and who is attending JUST THAT occurrence.

Ditto for my event, please advise.

[Sweetcurse]

I'll try the shortened method

The problem was the link I was providing to the sister thread.
