Web Delivered Helpful Calendar Additions for Events!

[Prinzy]

Howdy Gamers!

It would be super awesome and helpful for Event Coordinators if there was a "Event Time" option in the Calendar Add menu! This would be a great feature to allow users to be able to click on the calendar and see the events and their time, without having to click into every single forum post. As it is now, we have to add the time to the forum title, which makes the titles extremely long, and the calendar listing long as well (as the date has to be added to the forum post). If possible, adding an "Event Name" option as well, so the event date isn't shown on the calendar, as the date has to be included in all event forum post titles. This would be a lot of filler especially with multiple events being hosted on the same day, that would all have the date in their titles.

It currently looks like this on the calendar, but with time it's even longer, and more of a mess to read. These would be amazing features that would make the calendar more user friendly and easier to read!

While this is a lot to ask, I was also hoping the "Event Time" option could also be local time, as most people may not initially know it's in EST and feel as it could cause some issues for users.


Thank you for hearing me out! Y'all are awesome and appreciated

(Now I'm getting ahead of myself.....BUT in the future, it could also be cool to have event tags, so people could sort by games! So those looking for TF2 events could filter to see all events for TF2, and CS2 filter for CS2!)

Looks like some great ideas, I'd love to see these in place.

i subbed the line breaks for a sep line for readability for now, like so:

As for the time component, I am not too sure how to best accomplish this - in this current calendar design it is best suited for not displaying the times as its a daily view. Nonetheless, this component will be pushed to XF2.3 (months away) when I actually have to go over all the addons. If you have any ideas feel free to bust out the MS paint and give me a mockup )))
