Yeah I was confused when I saw something posted. What exactly would I have to do to get it month-day-year?

Aw that sucks ... why not?

Just change "y-m-d" to "m-d-y".

The thinking was that admins/mods might want to post announcements and things, but no one else should be able to post anything but events. You could change newthread_start to make it happen for everyone if you wanted.

Ah I see. Well thanks again for this, I've wondered why vBulletin hasn't better implemented the calendar system for some time now.

any way i can remove this from my forum totally? I try to unistall via plugin manager and get db errors

Overwriting the product with the updated xml should take care of any problems you are having Neal. Then once overwritten, you should be able to uninstall if you choose to.

ok, i tried last time but got db errors. I'll try again.

1 more problem. All posted events by normal members are being moderated however all permissions are set to allow posting.

Still get the error when posting an event in the calendar even thought the event get's posted in the correct forum. Same errors if I trry to delete the post:

I think maybe the sql queries still aren't running properly. I ran mine manually so that may be why we're having different issues. Are you using a table prefix and do you have access to run sql queries from the admincp or phpmyadmin?

Yeah I have the prefix FORUMtable_name, but im pretty new (a year or 2) to database stuff so what do I need to type exactly in the run sql queries box?
