RSVP for ProgPower USA VIII (testing new feature)

[MetalAges]

Hey there everyone.

I am testing a new feature for the soon to launch concert/event calendar here on the site. If you feel like RSVPing head on over to http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1101&day=2007-10-4&c=3 and do so, thanks! Feedback welcome.

Ehm.. point?

 

[Curufin]

To RSVP, dummy!

For ProgPower the point may not be apparent, but he did say he was testing the feature, obviously using one of the most intelligent :Smug: or at least most trafficked forums on UM.

It's a great feature for seeing quickly who of your friends on a forum are attending the same events or meeting people you've only talked to in a forum. It's used by this group NY NJ CT -TRI-STATE-HEAVY METAL HEADBANGERS that I hook up with at shows and it's been pretty useful. Especially, if there's a show you want to go to and you can't get any of your ususal crowd to come along.

^ What she said

Anyone can add an event to the calendar, and as people are browsing it they can check who else from the board will be going (not just the PPUSA board).

hrmm, maybe I'm not holding my mouth just right, but I clicked the 'yes' radio button, added a short comment, and clicked 'submit' - three times. And every time it simply jumps me back to the top of the page and doesn't take my submission.

weird.

 

[nailz]

I see. I guess it'd be nifty to those who'd use it, I guess I'm just not really one of those people.

 

[VenomGA]

DONE!

 

[BlackRoseMetalHeart]

That's a really cool new feature. I've been trying to put together a listing of events to e-mail around to friends, but I'll probably end up reccomending that they check out this calendar too.

Awesome!

question... will this be used primarily for Atlanta-area events and tour stops, or will it have stuff all over the country (world)?

Your response is there. I just saw it since the responses are in alphabetical order (not chronological) and yours comes right after mine. See ya there!

Feel free to add any event you want to the calendar, and direct anyone you want there to RSVP. It can be used for worldwide events.

great job! Wish there was an event I could add to it but damn it's slow in So. Cal right now!

well, what I was wondering was if people could add whole TOURS to it, and people could RSVP for their tour stop... it would be a cool way for people to find out who from UM (or the ProgPower board) is attending the same shows as them. It certainly beats "_________ in (name of city) roll call -- who's going?"

Hoyt, I did the same thing..

Absolutely. They would have to ad the dates one by one (a bit of a pain I know) but yeah that was actually the main reason for this, is for tours etc.

Hopefully I'll be able to come up with some way to add bulk dates in mass.

But I like those threads. You get to interact with the other members more. You can comment & reply to your heart's content, not just once.

Oh, cool. That means I get to stay on top? :Smokin:
