• Hockey
  • Professional
  • College
  • High School
• Football
  • American Football
  • The Rest of the World (Soccer)
• Baseball

with the normal calendar feature, you cannot have categories. And with "Add Event" you can have any date. So, if you want an event like "Jan 1, 132 B.C. - the first ball was invented", you can do that. But, that isn't possible in the normal calendar. Also, the events in "Add Event" are fully searchable.

Thanks for the explanation. While this particular feature does not benefit my forum's intended application simply only because my the standard calendar suffices (I just list the motorcycle races as they come up).

But I can see how this can be a useful feature now in the right forum. Thanks for shedding some light on that. I would recommend posting something similiar to that in your first post of this thread so that others know how this can benefit them and their forum.

I have way too many RSS feeds I have to manage now haha
