Title: Forum Calendar
Post by: Rodders on February 17, 2010, 15:41

Two events to add:

28-Mar-10:  Clocks go forward (UK)
31-Oct-10:  Clocks go back (UK)

- Thus Halloween will last an hour longer this year and I'll probably be hiding under the duvet at 13 o'clock.

Not to mention a few things we don't celebrate, Cammy. They should let me play with the calendar.  ;D

We haven't got anything wrong.  The calender is pre-loaded with the forum software.

It's very clever software.  It even knows what film will be on the telly on 04-Jul-10.

You can / could have already.  Fill your boots!  :)  I've updated a few entries such as Mother's Day, but there are some (Vernal Equinox?) that I'm not sure whether they apply to us here in the UK or not.   :blush:

Title: Re: Forum Calendar
Post by: Rodders on February 19, 2010, 22:59

Oh please let's keep the Vernal Equinox (http://www.nmm.ac.uk/explore/astronomy-and-time/time-facts/equinoxes-and-solstices), Simon.  Otherwise we won't get to sacrifice any virgins until Groundhog Day.   ;D

Title: Re: Forum Calendar
Post by: Clive on February 19, 2010, 23:04

Many of us are looking forward to the Vernal Equinox Simon.  It usually heralds warmer weather!   ;D

Title: Re: Forum Calendar
Post by: Simon on February 19, 2010, 23:08

I guess we'll keep it then!  ;D

Title: Re: Forum Calendar
Post by: Rodders on February 19, 2010, 23:12

I would.  It'll be triumphantly heralded here.

Still can't get at the calendar in the ACP, which is where the important stuff can be done from.

Ah right, sorry.  What needs doing?

Title: Re: Forum Calendar
Post by: Rik on February 20, 2010, 16:39

Manage holidays - you can kill all the American junk there and put in the British stuff like Saints days (David, George, Patrick, Andrew, Shakespeare and Burns ;)).

Title: Re: Forum Calendar
Post by: Simon on February 20, 2010, 16:56

But we do have some American members.  :)  Could add the saints.  Only trouble is, we'd have to remember to do it each year.

Title: Re: Forum Calendar
Post by: Rik on February 20, 2010, 17:01

No, you can add such things as yearly events.

Title: Re: Forum Calendar
Post by: Simon on February 20, 2010, 17:03

Only if it's the same date each year.  And if you know the dates.  ;D

Title: Re: Forum Calendar
Post by: Rik on February 20, 2010, 17:08

March 1 - St David, March 17 - St Patrick, April 23 - St George/Shakespeare's birthday, November 30 - St Andrew, Dec 26 - Boxing Day, Jan 25 - Burns' Night. Forum birthday on?

Title: Re: Forum Calendar

Thxnks.  I'll get onto it when I'm back at the PC.  :thumb:

OK, dates added.  Any which need to be removed?  I've taken out the incorrect Mother's Days.

Title: Re: Forum Calendar

Feb 2 - Groundhog day
May 31 - Memorial day
June 14 - Flag day

As you're getting your hands dirty under the bonnet, it might be appropriate to also give 'Earth Day' the heave-ho, whilst 'Veterans Day' is known outside the US as 'Remembrance Day' or 'Armistice Day'.

Title: Re: Forum Calendar

Good point, Rod.

Title: Re: Forum Calendar

How will we know what day it is?   :dunno:

Title: Re: Forum Calendar

Not the whole calendar, Rod, just this thing we've been talking about, which I have moved to the staff area once already, as only staff can see it!  ::) ;D

Title: Re: Forum Calendar
