FAQ for those who migrated from the vBulletin version of LFGSS

Anyway I actually came here to ask if I can or should turn the Easts thread into a recurring event in some way?

You can't change a thread into an event . Start a new event here http://www.lfgss.com/microcosms/558/ and click 'multiple days'

Ask mod to stick it

Anyway I actually came here to ask if I can or should turn the Easts thread into a recurring event in some way?

We don't yet support recurring events.

No issue with the storing of them, but we've had wildly different views on how they should be displayed.

Should it be a single event with a "Every 3rd Friday of the month" style date... but everything else is just that single event?

Or should it be lots of events, one per instance?

The latter provides the ability to move venues but old events reflect the venue they had, and it allows attendance lists to be useful still, etc. But... it splits your audience up, and creates thousands of event stubs. Even if we ordered them by date it would be messy.

Best I've thought of right now is to create an event, fill in the place... but leave the date TBD and put the recurrence info in the event title.
