Exploring the forums

I'm really glad we now have this forum to communicate with, and thanks so much to Scott and everyone who brought it together!

Question: I clicked on the members list, and I only see 3 members even though the bottom of the main screen shows there are 16 members. Does it take some period of time for a new member to show on that screen?

Members aren't listed there until they've made 2 or more posts, just to filter out the folks who join but have never posted. It's kind of confusing on a brand new board because so many people are missing, but once people are posting, it makes it much easier to find someone without having to dig through hundreds of members that aren't active.

Very sensible, thanks for the answer.

Next question, how about the calendar? Is is your thought that we will enter renoscca events and activities on it? I think that would be really useful, but wouldn't want it to be redundant if there is going to be some other master schedule somewhere.

We've already got a schedule on the main page:

http://www.renoscca.org/index.php?page=schedule

That schedule is integrated with the various programs allowing them to be sorted for solo, race, social events, etc. It will also integrate with the online registration stuff I'm building.

I may be able to get the main schedule to automatically publish details to the forums calendar, but it'll be pretty low on my TODO list. Another option might be a "view as calendar" option for our schedule, if the big deal is simply getting a calendar view of the data rather than just a list as it is now.
