Hi Chris, <div><br></div><div>Yes, I put the event back on the calendar. I don't know what more to tell you other than events randomly vanish from the main calendar. I reported this once just after I started, but there hasn't been a consistent enough pattern to feel that I could ask you to seriously look into it. </div>
<div><br></div><div>For example, the 10/29 wedding I have put on the calendar three times. The first time it disappeared, I re-posted it and verified it was there. A week later verified it was still there. A couple of weeks later it was gone again. Of the four events I added at the same time, one other was gone but the other three were still there.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This happens... not constantly... but regularly. So not so much that I panic. It's just enough to be a little frustrating and a bit of a nuisance, but not routine enough to create any kind of a pattern. Events might disappear the next day or the next month. If I add four events at one time and verify they are all on the calendar, a month later one of them will probably be gone but the others will most likely still be there.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I figured you were probably too busy to chase ghosts, so every couple of weeks I verify that upcoming events are still on the calendar, and add what is no longer present. It has just become a part of my routine, and I haven't given it much of a thought in months.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To Abi, though, it seemed really strange and worth reporting. </div><div><br></div><div><div>NOTE ON HISTORY: Events started vanishing left and right just after I asked if we could get a more meaningful notice of requested events. When we got really meaningful notices (that included the requested event, dates and times), almost every event would vanish every couple of days. I spent more time re-submitting events than anything else for a couple of weeks. The flurry of disappearances stopped at the same time the email notice of new events changed to having start and end times of "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">12/31/1969 - 6:00 PM". You were crazy busy at the time - I don't remember with what - and the fact I didn't have to re-submit every event was good enough for me. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Since then an event will randomly vanish. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">It's not perfect but 80% of the time it works as expected. </span></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif">If you have any brilliant ideas on what could be causing it and think it can be fixed... awesome! But if not, I think we can live with it just fine.</font></div>

<br>In any case, the calendar submission works pretty well if it's only happened a few times in the past. Those of us who build features occasionally for the website (such as the event calendar) can't really tell what would be causing this issue without more complete information about what happened when a person submitted the event request. It could be a number of issues. It obviously was resolved. What did you do to resolve the issue, Isak?<br>
<br>If there are issues with the calendar then bringing them to tech's attention is one step. I'll do what I can to help.<br><br>Chris<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 2:13 PM, Abisola Ariwoola <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:imc.abi@gmail.com" target="_blank">imc.abi@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
