Tim: Rehack ubb_profile.cgi, and make sure you chose to show it.

It looked ugly. 4. public_new_calendar_event.pl uses another Wordlet for the button, 'Add Calendar Event' instead of 'Add a calendar event' or something like that.

I'd love to use this on my forum, but I need the ability to set events weekly. Like every Friday for example. That would make it so much easier for my users. Is this a possibility? COuld it be in a future release?

I do have a slight problem with getting the SSI part to work in order to show calendar events on my homepage. I modified my homepage to have a .shtml extension, but it still won;t work. When I use: nothing shows up at all. And when I use: what shows up is the entire message board main page template with menu and everything, and it displayes the "This message board is closed" message. Any ideas?

The last two new registrants to my board who elected to display their birthdays both had the same day show up as their birthday, November 30, when they actually entered their real birthdays as June 5 and October 23. In each case it doesn't understand the year they were born. You can see it in the calendar entry at this page http://www.twinstuff.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar&date=2452609

I would like to put the Calendar link and list of today's events that normally shows at the bottom of the page up above the fold, and more specifically, in between the ">> Hello, [log out]" table cell and the "Forum" table cell. The reason I want to do this is to make it more visible. I also want to increase the font size of the text within this widget. I was successfully able to make other modifications to calendar, but am having difficulty 1) finding the display code for that widget and 2) finguring out where to put it to meet my above goal. Anyone have any suggestions? (thanks in advance)

What we did is having changed the wordlets for "xxx is xx years old today. Send him (her) greetings in our Special Birthday Forum". So people can send them greetings! You can even link it to a greeting card system. Works quiet well Med.

I edited those lines you said but its just as before no change at all. The second is that when I enter my forum I see the calender link but not when Im in the "overview forums" screen.

Anyhow is it possible to get the "event box" that show on the bottom of the page when you click on calender to show above the calender instead of bottom ?
