Let's see how this gets met over here. Gizmo seams to think this request is beneath the development team over at UBB as it wouldn't benefit the "global userbase." I have a specific use for this feature and I'm sure there are others that could use some of these feature requests as well.
I'd love to use the calendar to post tour dates on my site. It would be great if there where different types of evens with custom fields. For example, when adding tour dates there should be fields for date, city, venue and buy tickets link.
I'd also like to use the portal option to post upcoming dates on my home page in text... not in calendar format.
The other feature I'd like to have would be the band's history. It would be great for fans to be able to read through the history in chronological order or search for past events. It would also be nice to have a "this day in history" portal for the home page.
